"Bierstadt Sunset" I hope this newsletter finds your summer going well. Backing up just a bit it was another great spring season of workshops wrapped up last month with time spent in a range of climates and geography, and did not disappoint in offering up memorable experiences and photographic opportunities. Since my last newsletter, I traveled down to Mendocino for a coastal headlands workshop where stormy weather made an appearance, including rain blowing sideways at one point. Yet part...

"Sharpened" In early February I took the long drive down to Death Valley for personal photography and lead a workshop. All prior trips to DV involved getting on a plane. I wanted my own rig this time after the 2025 rental breakdown fiasco, even though I knew it was unlikely to happen again. The drive while being two-full-days behind the wheel is pleasant if you enjoy plenty of open highway with few services. From photographing the not often seen Lake Manly a mile above to finding fascinating...

"Canyon Flames" It's a little later than usual for me to get out my rewind blog post for the prior year yet I carved out time to make it happen. Even today in late January it feels like the year is still just getting started being only 6% through, despite being well past wishing folks Happy New Year. It was nice to slow down during the holidays and enjoy time with family and friends. I hope all of you were able to as well. I am likely in the minority not dreading the darkness coming early and...

"Cloud Shifts" Fall, the season filled with vibrant foliage and mild temperatures across much of the U.S. While those warm tones are nice, I find myself even more excited for the cool crisp air that comes with the change of seasons. If you’re lucky, you can chase fall color for months, beginning in Alaska in late August and following it all the way down to Arizona by November, basically “falling south” for fall. Although I didn’t travel to that extent, I was fortunate to enjoy a fairly wide...

"Butterscotch Burst" It might be only about six weeks since my last newsletter, yet there are several updates to share with all of you. Even before those updates, there have already been a couple of eventful trips this year. In January, I headed to Cuba for a non-photo-focused journey that still allowed for some photography, and since my last newsletter, I have put together a small collection of photos and a blog post about the trip. It was certainly different than my usual work (which I...

"Taste The Sky" I have adjusted back to the cooler winter weather of PNW after a trip to Cuba last week. It was not a photo-specific trip, but I took a few photos and have thoughts to share about the overall experience, which I will put in a post on my website soon. It's not like any other place I have visited, in good and challenging ways. This coming weekend is the annual Out of Chicago LIVE virtual conference. More details are below regarding this live experience. Sessions are not...

"Golden Oasis" With fall adventures and workshops now in the rearview mirror, I am settling into a winter routine that includes more time at home with the family, on the mountain, and of course, planning for future workshops. I wrapped up fall with a couple of trips, including fun-filled camping in Southern Utah to finish scouting for the Escalante workshop. The above photo is from that trip. Hint hint: It's available for signup, and you can read more about it below. I also enjoyed the annual...

"Just Breathe" Hello! It's been a whole season since my last newsletter, and in this case, that means there are many exciting updates to share in this full newsletter. Spring started with a whirlwind of activity: Several workshops, a brief international trip, and two weeks exploring the Great Plains that included leading a tour and scouting for the next one – and that was just the photography and travel side of things. At home, we celebrated a high school graduation. Major milestones like...
