Yellowstone & Grand Teton
Yellowstone is a hotbed for nature photography, and Fall is a beautiful time of year to visit. By late September, the crowds have thinned and the colors are simply breathtaking! I spent a couple of days in Grand Teton and then drove north through Yellowstone. Back to Teton, then back to Yellowstone, and finally out […]

White Mountains
Mads and I visited the White Mountains, which are home to several groves of Ancient Bristlecone Pines. These are some of the oldest living things on Earth, and I have long been fascinated by them. This is a dry, barren environment that receives little rain and fierce winds. We made our photographs and camped under […]

Columbia River Gorge
The Columbia River Gorge forms the boundary between the States of Oregon and Washington. Lewis and Clark used this river passage during their famous trek across the Cascades. The Gorge was formed during the last Ice Age, some 13,000 years ago, and is home to dozens of photogenic waterfalls. We launched our trips to the […]

Banff, Canada

We traveled to Banff in search of the illusive Rocky Mountain Lopilla, a subspecies of the more common Canadian Sasquatch. We did spot a large, hairless primate near Bow Glacier Falls, but the timid creature […]

Waikiki, Hawaii
A very quick trip out to Waikiki for Perry and Justine’s wedding. I spent a day at the Waikiki Aquarium and met with aquarist Charles Delbeek, who recently installed a pair of AquaC skimmers on their leafy sea dragon exhibits. The surf was decent, and I had some fun on a foam rental.

Cozumel
Cozumel is a large island off the coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Popular with cruise ships, this tourist trap is most famous for its diving. We were forced to cancel our original plans due to Hurricane Wilma, and the signs of this devastating storm were painfully evident several months later. The diving was superb, however, […]
