  • As I explored Quebec City, I found a small street in the Lower Old Town which had umbrellas hanging the small area. Over the course of two days I visited this street multiple times to capture the colorful umbrellas with a different sky as a background. On my final day in Quebec City it was a nice clear day which allowed me to have a constant background but also position the sun to allow it to show just a little bit behind one of the umbrellas.

  • After an early season snowfall in the mountains the fall colors are given an extra element of fresh snow on the peaks. It had been a couple of days since a few inches of snow had fallen amongst the trees leaving just a reminder of the snow on the mountains with a crisp blue sky.

  • One summer I met up with some friends near Marble, Colorado and spent a weekend exploring the high country in the area. The valley between the mountains were filled with wildflowers and we spent many hours photographing and exploring the area. As I was photographing some flowers below, I looked up and saw this scene. Two flowers above all the others with a crisp blue sky behind them. Moving just a little I start to capture this scene which was above me prior to moving onto the next area of flowers.

  • Walking around Olympic Stadium in Montreal I noticed the light on the metal buildings as they reflected the midday light. Working from different angles I was able to position the buildings overlapping with a nice blue sky to add to this minimal photograph of the Rio Tinto Alcan Planetarium.

  • One of the most known landmarks in Reykjavik is Hallgrímskirkja. This Lutheran church stands almost 250 feet high and being on a hill is visible from many areas of the city. It took quite some time for the church to be built, 41 years, and was completed in 1986. The most photographed part of the church is the front, so I explored for a little different view of the church which I found on the opposite side. It was quite empty on this side of the church on a nice late summer day in the capitol city. As I photographed from here you can see some of the design elements noticeable in front blended more so with the building itself.

  • Sitting above the majority of the village of Vik is their church. Vik is the southernmost point in Iceland and is located just over a hundred miles from Reykjavik. As the church is on a hill, it is the safe location to go to if there is an eruption of Kalta. This volcano sits below a glacier which would melt and generate flooding in a short period of time along the coast. From the black sand beach I found this image of the church against the higher mountains of the area.

  • The Sun Voyager sculpture sits along the water in Reykjavik, Iceland. The sculpture by sculpture by Jón Gunnar Árnason is described as an ode to the sun. Playing off of this name when I found myself there on an early morning I decided to bring the sun into the photograph. Finding a nice composition was the task at hand which I could then position myself to include the sun into the scene as well. By using a small depth of field (f/22) and placing the sun right at the end of the sculpture it provides the star effect in the image and also helps eliminate some of the sun glare.

  • While I spent much time photographing the details of Harpa in Reykjavik, I also did capture some of the entire building to help provide context. Looking at a building like this can be quite overwhelming about where to photograph first. When I first walked up to Harpa it was from along the shoreline which allowed me to key in on some detail of the building first prior to moving around to explore all the little pieces. This let me get comfortable with the different shapes and patterns prior to starting to photograph other areas, and also taking breaks to allow my mind to reset and start new in different areas.

  • On my final day in Havana a small weather system moved into the city bringing up the wind as it passed through the city. Even with the wind I headed out to the Malecon and was treated to the waves crashing against the seawall. I watched in awe of the force of the waves but also used that time to see where the waves were breaking, with that knowledge I searched for an interesting foreground and pointed my camera. Within five minute this wave crashed into the seawall send up a large wave with great force.

  • August 28, 2008 - A stream of people flock to Invesco Field at Mile High to hear Barack Obama give his acceptance speech on the final day of the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado.

  • While I was in Cuba, I walked through the Plaza de San Francisco de Asis in Havana where there were flocks of birds which flew around the plaza. I was busy photographing some of the buildings when a flock flew by where I was standing. Quickly adjusting the camera I started to follow them as they flew past capturing this image which froze their location but still shows the wings moving in most of the pigeons.

  • During late September of 2006, I was exploring the Colorado mountains and the fall colors. It was quite unexpected but a heavy snowfall also occurred around this time blending the seasons of fall and winter together. As I navigated the mountains in Central Colorado, I started to look at the landscape of the early winter and how the light of September fell onto the mountains. Normally the light we see with the first snowfall is a little later in the season and lights up the mountains in a different manner.

  • As I navigated the roads near Marble, Colorado I came across a lake with calm water. This provided a great surface to capture the reflection of the Rocky Mountains in full fall colors. Just a day prior some early snow fell in the area which still was on the higher peaks in the distance.

  • As you climb on Interstate 70 west from Denver you will quickly find yourself in the mountains. After climbing in elevation at the exit for Genesee you are treated to a view of the Rocky Mountains which always gets your attention. After a spring snow storm in Denver I headed up to this spot to capture the scene with snow covered mountains.

  • The Colorado State Capitol dome stands against a deep blue sky. The gold leaf which is on the dome adds to the scene as the sunlights makes is shine on this fall afternoon.

  • One of the big events of 2014 was the opening of Union Station after years of construction in the area. With the building transformed into a transportation hub it has attracted many visitors during the second half of the year. The architecture of the canopy over the tracks is quite interesting and on a sunny day I headed down to this area. As I looked up I noticed the lines of the canopy and how they tell a different story from the location you look at them within the Union Station area. I found a spot which would give me the repeating rows as well as a view of the sky in this image which I am sure won't be one of the last I take from this area.

  • For all of the pieces of public art within Denver the one piece which gets a lot of discussion, after the sculpture near the airport, are The Dancers in front of the Denver Performing Arts Center along Speer Blvd. When looking at these two figures you will find a different look from any direction you view the piece which makes it interesting to photograph. This different look might even match the different views you will find on the piece as well by artist Jonathan Borofsky. If you ever have a chance to stand under the piece take that opportunity, you will be in for a treat.

  • It was an interesting morning weather wise as some change is in the air. Over the city there was clouds but as you looked out towards the mountains it was blue sky. Walking around Civic Center Park I headed up the steps of the Colorado State Capitol and was treated with a nice view of the mountains with still some fall color in the area.

  • During a road trip from Sacramento to Denver with a friend from college I had the opportunity to explore Salt Lake City as he worked at a client site. On this day in October 2009 some early snow fell in the city which was interesting as the snow line was quite obvious throughout the city especially on the lawn of the capitol building. As I walked up the steps to the State of Utah Capitol Building I noticed the leading line to the sizable building as the clouds started to part to allow some blue sky to appear as the storm rolled out of town.

  • I came across this spot while photographing at Commons Park previously. Using the buildings in Commons Park as a a foreground element to frame the skyline of Denver was my thought process for this image. I planned this for the whole day  and fortunately the weather cooperated as well for the image allowing for the day blue sky as a backdrop allowing me to capture the image as part of Thirty Days 2011.

  • Eaglecrest Ski Area is about twenty minutes from downtown Juneau where I decided to head during the day. As I started on the road up the mountain, I noticed stretches of straight road as we left the fog. Near the crossing of Fish Creek I pulled the car over and captured this image where you could almost see blue sky which was a nice change after a few days in the fog. The ski resort is not yet open, but will do so in a few weeks for the season bringing more traffic to the road then what I saw on this day.

  • The Colorado State Capitol dome stands against a deep blue sky and with changing trees in the foreground. Situated on a hill there is the extra hint of power of the building as you look up climbing the steps to the building.

  • This afternoon was a nice fall day in Denver with plenty of blue sky around the city. As I was crossing the new pedestrian bridge near Union Station I noticed a sense of patterns on the ground and in front of me which stopped me in my tracks. This was the first time walking across this new bridge which opened up recently with the completion of the Union Station renovation.

  • Located in southern Colorado the Great Sand Dunes are still slowing building as the wind blows sand and soil deposits from the Rio Grande and its tributaries. Even with the daily changes with the blowing wind the dunes remain familiar to most who visit. There are plenty of photographic opportunities in the dunes whether using black and white or color as your palette. For this photograph, it was the lines of the dunes and contrast of the blue sky which drew me to capture this image on an early morning in May 2008.

  • Grant Humphreys Mansion is located near Governors Park and as I found out after the fact the mansion is haunted. When taking the image I was thinking color all the way with the nice blue of the sky, green of the grass as well as some leaves in the tree; however with the nice contrast a change to black and white worked even better for this result.

  • A few years ago while at Lake Tahoe, I took advantage of the snow at lake level and went snowshoeing along the lake. With camera in hand I captured some images along the fresh snow. With a lone sailboat in this location I was able to frame the image to capture this along with the blue skies and snow on this one day it was not snowing in the area.

  • During the 2010 Rock 'N Roll marathon in Denver, I found myself in lower downtown photographing some of the runners as well as the early morning light. As I prepared for the runners to come past Union Station, I saw the first signs of light starting to shine on the sign at the train station capturing this scene under blue skies on a chilly morning.

  • Over the weekend I photographed in downtown Denver. As I was walking around at the eastern side of the downtown area, I would see Union Station down 17th Avenue. I finally made my way down to the train station and took some photographs on a nice spring day. It was hard to believe almost all of the snow from a few days earlier was gone and replaced with blue skies. The area around Union Station will also change in the upcoming years as it becomes the travel hub for Denver. It should be interesting to see how the changes shape up over time.

  • It has been dry and clear most days in the last few weeks in Denver, with these clear skies I headed to City Park to see how this translated at sunset. From the golf course I watched the sun descend over the mountains and the orange and blue colors light become the backdrop over the city. While there has been quite a bit of growth in the city the last few years however from City Park it is not as noticeable from here as it is in other views of the skyline.
