  • In the spring of 2009 I made by way to Rocky Mountain National Park to photograph along Trail Ridge Road.  The road was still in the process of being cleared for the season and scheduled to open in less than a week.  After photographing up the road a couple of miles I made my way back to my car. Noticing the road leading towards Longs Peak I put down my tripod and captured the image.  With the long exposure of thirty seconds it also caught the city lights of Boulder and Denver lighting up the clouds in the distance.

  • On an evening a few years ago south of the airport photographing airplanes departing, I changed my focus to the road I was parked along as I photographed some of the traffic which was passing by me. It was a clear winter evening which allowed the stars to be visible as I photographed and it wasn't until later that I noticed the similar pattern in the sky as the car was traveling past me in this image.

  • Just before the Memorial Weekend holiday in 2009, I headed to Rocky Mountain National Park. It takes a while to plow Trail Ridge Road and open it once again for the season as it tops out over 12,000 feet, however usually by Memorial Day Weekend it is open again connecting Estes Park with Grand Lake. While they are working on clearing the road you can park and walk up the road, on this evening I did just that and after walking a few miles still didn't come across the plows just the work they left behind. A clean road and tall banks of snow.

  • In September 2008 while visiting Estes Park, I had planned to photograph around Bear Lake one morning. As the first hints of light appeared I was halfway up Bear Lake Road and realized I would be stuck in the clouds. Quickly thinking of some other options, I decided to risk a risk and change locations. Finding a pullout, I headed back down the road and went up Trail Ridge Road where at tree line I emerged from the clouds. Knowing Rainbow Curve was not too far away I made it to the turnoff with about 10 minutes to spare prior to sunrise.

  • I headed up Clear Creek Canyon with a friend who is familiar with the area from his many trips here fishing. As we stopped at a parking area in the dark we climbed up higher to get a perspective over the road. Highway 6 can be busy with traffic heading to the casinos and other mountain locations west of Golden. However at times you can also find a lone car as in this image.

  • A couple of weeks ago, I was looking down at Clear Creek Canyon just prior to sunset and noticed the visible road. Later that evening I visited the same location and captured the scene under a full moon with some of the twilight still apparent on the horizon. This is a 30 second image with the moon light allowing the detail of the mountains to show in the image.

  • On a fall evening I ventured to a location above Clear Creek Canyon just prior to sunset. As I watched the sunset over the Rocky Mountains I started photographing the traffic heading through the canyon on a full moon evening. As the traffic made its way through the canyon below the light from the moon illuminated the landscape as the clouds moved through the evening dusk. With a 30 second exposure I was able to capture the movement of the clouds and start to also include in the image the stars as the day ended.

  • 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.

  • Driving down a dirt road outside of Missoula, Montana on a fall morning I passed through an area of fog. As I emerged from the fog, I noticed a small barn in a field on the left side of the road. I stopped to photograph the small barn and when walking up the road for a different angle noticed an area by a gate where you could look down the length of the fence. As I composed this image, the early morning light started to glow as it passed through the fog providing the magically light found in this image. Prior to leaving Missoula I would visit the spot a handful of times but was never able to recreate this morning.

  • The full moon is once again approaching and in the evening it is bright enough to experiment with some night photography. I headed to Golden, Colorado and photographed Lookout Mountain. If you have ever driven the road you know there are many twists and turns along the way. From a distance back I set-up my tripod and worked to capture the cars along the road just after sunset while letting the bright moon illuminate the mountain itself.

  • This evening I was heading out around Lakeside Amusement Park and thought I would stop by to see if I could find an image. Right after parking the car and walking towards the park I noticed this scene. The challenge was finding the right position which didn't put me right in the middle of a road near the park. After checking out the location options along the road I did find a safe location to capture this image.

  • At the end of April 2013, I headed out to the plains to see how the growth was coming along for some future ideas for photographs.  During the scouting I came across some fields with fresh growth and those with contrasting color.  As I stood on the side of the road I worked with this concept and while moving the camera captured the fields before me. As I head back to this area in the summer it will be interesting to see how the fields change of the course of the growing season.

  • This past weekend I once again spent some time exploring the plains just outside of Denver.  As I was driving along I noticed an aircraft on final approach to Denver International Airport.  Looking down the road I had noticed the contrast of the two fields ahead and now the plane overflying one of those fields which got me thinking.  Waiting for some more aircraft to arrive I positioned myself at the edge of these fields and photographed as a Frontier Airlines airplane neared landing at the airport.

  • Earlier in the spring I was scouting the area around the airport and noticed an aircraft on final approach to Denver International Airport. Looking down the road I had noticed the contrast of the two fields ahead and now the plane overflying one of those fields which got me thinking. I headed back to this location to capture some departures on this day as the aircraft quickly climbed over the Colorado plains.

  • As I explored the small village of Ittoqqortoormiit I slowly made my way up the road towards the helipad above the city. This is used to transport passengers about 40km to the nearby airport of Nerlerit Inaat (which was also where I flew into from Iceland). Once at the top of the hill there was a nice view of the village and onward to Scoresby Sound. For this image I used a shallower depth of field which puts the village slightly out of focus the further it gets towards the water and onward towards points unknown.

  • In the winter of 2008 I was at Glacier National Park photographing and enjoying the scenery. After a day of snowshoeing up the road I was heading back and stopped at the west end of Lake McDonald just after sunset. As the night settled in I captured the quiet winter evening in the park which is quite different then being there in the summer.

  • In February 2008 I headed to the Glacier area for a few days of photographing and ventured into the park some of those days. The park is quite different in the winter with just a small portion of road open in the park, and the number of people you see being counted on two hands however it is quite magnificent. This image was an afternoon at Lake McDonald looking towards Stanton Mountain on some fresh snow which wasn't hard to find at all, well minus the fresh powder with animal tracks I encountered just after this location.

  • Driving ‘Out the Road’ north of Juneau I stopped at the Eagle River as I caught the low sunlight around noon on a clear winter day. With the recent snow and cold part of this river was iced over however the water still continued to flow towards the Lynn Canal. For me the river leads to the sunlight in this midday image bringing the two elements together.

  • As I drove along the Colorado plains I spotted a barn in the distance. Using a dirt road, I was able to get closer and use a thunderstorm in the distance as the background for the image.

  • While out photographing one night, I headed into the foothills where I had a perspective looking down at a road below. Waiting for the traffic to head into the scene I captured a thirty second exposure of a mixture of moving traffic as well as cars waiting for the light to change so they may be on their way in the early evening. With some mild temperatures early this week as well as a full moon I have been out working on expanding this group of work as well this week.

  • 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.

  • If you have driven Going to the Sun Road and stopped at Logan Pass you most likely have run into the mountain goats which hang out there in the summer. As I was walking with a group of friends to Hidden Lake from Logan Pass, we ran into a family of mountain goats. This little one stayed just for a little bit for some pictures prior to heading towards a location with less people, but not before saying Welcome to Glacier National Park.

  • Exploring one evening I went to the backside of Green Mountain and as I crossed C-470 I noticed the traffic flowing in the darkness of the night. Looking down at the road with my headlamp on I found an opening in the fencing and positioned my camera for some longer exposures in the area. It was just past the new moon so it was quite dark in the area with an occasional mountain biker passing me from their evening ride on the mountain. After spending some time at the location I thought of some new ideas to photograph in the area and will be back in the upcoming weeks to try those ideas out with my camera.

  • I had driven past this location in Glacier National Park many times while in the park in 2007 as well as the winter of 2008. However after some rain, the stream picked up speed a little bit and allowed me to capture this during my last visit to the park. As I stood on the side of the road a few people stopped to see what I was photographing, and were upset there was not an animal in the scene.

  • Heading back from Steamboat Springs a few years ago I made a stop on the way back along the road leading to the Flat Top Wilderness area. With a setting of aspen trees and plenty of columbine underneath I photographed in the area for a while. During this time I also played with some motion on the camera while photographing the aspen which is the image in this photograph. Using a small aperture, I was able to get a slow shutter speed which allowed me to move the camera giving this effect. It took a little while to find the right looking aspens, but the result in something which is almost three dimensional in look all created in-camera.

  • One November I was driving outside of Juneau, Alaska over lunch. As I headed out towards North Douglas I was awestruck by the mountains which appeared near Fritz Cove. Continuing down the road I waited until the island was in front of this peak and captured the image.

  • Lassen National Park is located a few hours north of Sacramento. The park contains the southern-most volcano in the Cascade Range which is Lassen Peak. Throughout the park you will find still active mud pots and other types of activity. I stopped in the park in late 2009 while on a road trip from Sacramento to Denver with a friend. Even in the short time we stopped at the park it was an interesting site to see in the fall and is on my list of places to visit again.

  • Plymouth, California is about an hour southeast of Sacramento. In October 2008 I was in the area during a week long trip to northern California. Exploring some of the roads I came across this tree early one morning and thought the barbed wire and the look of the tree were complimentary in meaning.

  • 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.
