I've just returned from 5 great days at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Although I have traveled around most of the Southwestern United States, I had yet to photograph at the Grand Canyon. I had been hesitant to visit the Grand Canyon because of the perceived crowds and locations which had been photographed many times prior by other great photographers. I was able to camp on the much less crowded North Rim of the Grand Canyon and the photography, locations and most importantly the light did not disappoint. It was a great trip and I returned with many images that I am quite pleased with. I will be updating the National Parks section of the site with new images from the Grand Canyon. I also have some photos in the backlog from other locations and will be adding those shots in the near future as well.

Thank goodness, Summer is finally here. The snow in Rocky Mountain National Park is melting rapidly and access to Colorado's high country is becoming easier by the day. We have had a very wet spring here in Colorado and it appears to be shaping up to be a banner wildflower year with lower elevations already blooming. I have been spending the last few months working hard on processing and adding new images to the Panoramic and Large Format galleries. I've added over 80 new 6x17 cm Panoramic Images to the gallery and have added another 20 Images to the Large Format Gallery. I still have a large number of Large Format 4x5 Drum Scans to process and as soon as I get them in my hands I will clean them up and add them to the Large Format Gallery as time permits. With the new additions to the web site, there are now well over 300 images on the web site to browse through with many more to be added.

Fall on the Front Range of Colorado is coming to an end. The leaves on the Aspens and Cottonwoods have fallen except for a few straglers here and there. We've already had a few dustings of snow in the higher elevations and the snowpack should begin to increase in the comining weeks. This is typically a slow time of year for my photography. Though I'd like to be catching the last of the fall color in the canyon country of Southwest Utah, its not in the cards for this year. This is however, a great time to organize, sort and process all the new images I have accumulated over the Summer and Fall. In the coming months look out not only for new Winter images, but for additional images I have had a chance to scan, process and add to the web site. I have recently added some new photos to my Cityscapes gallery from the New York City area.

This morning I was able to break away and get out to shoot some fall color in Rocky Mountain National Park. The fall color around Bear Lake was awesome. We've had a warm month with little rain or wind and the Aspen trees look great. I plan on getting out more to shoot in the next few weeks and will continue to add fall photos.

I've updated the railroad gallery and added photos. Although railroad photography is a small part of what I now tend to photograph, it's also the part that helped spark my love of photography, travel and the outdoors. My railroad photography is very similar to my landscape photography in that I often try to convey a sense of place and beauty. Although photographing railroads may often take place in and around urban areas, 'trainscapes' or photographs simmilar in style to my landscape photography is what I often seek to accomplish.

Welcome to my new web site! For the better part of the last ten years I've been attempting to get my site up and running. Numerous reasons delayed launching a user-friendly site, but the biggest reason was difficulty in maintaing and updating. I've dabled in trying to put together my own page and always found it difficult and more importantly downright tedious. Personally, I'd rather spend my time in the field photographing than spending all day on the computer attempting to update my site. I had been hearing great things about Jack Brauer's user-friendly web site software and finally decided it was time to contact Jack and get moving on a 'real' site. Jack is not only a very talented mountain photographer but an equally talented web site designer. You can view Jack's site here, www.WideRange.org. My new web site features an easy-to-access online gallery as well as simple and secure ordering via PayPal and the option of using a credit card to purchase your prints. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and I will continue to update the site frequently, so make sure you stop by often.
