I am a father, husband, skier, sailor and photographer, just about in that order!  I’ve been interested in photography ever since I was a little kid.  My interest developed in high school when I took my first course.  From there I went on to get a degree in photography just to get access to the darkroom!  I’ve been shooting what I love doing the entire time.  I’m constantly outside making landscape and travel photography my primary subjects.  I love getting out in the mornings before the sun is up, finding an amazing location and watching Mother Nature put on her best show.  Exploring new places and sharing them is why I do this.  For me landscape photography is about capturing the right light in the right location.

I love teaching people about photography.  Feel free to ask me any questions you’d like. I try not to be too obsessive about gear, but it’s hard not to talk about it when you’re using it as often as I am.  I review gear of products I own myself.  All of the images you see on this site are available for purchase.

    Let’s talk ratios…  I’ve always prefered elongated ratios.  I have a 645 medium format camera back in the 90s and I never really bonded with it.  I think that issue was two fold, both lack of lenses but also the more square 4:3 ratio.  I’ve been into panos for a long time.  One of my…

    Cars!

    I was looking for some info about the cars we’ve owned so I figured I’d write it out as a post as well. This is in reverse chronological order, so most current cars are up top. 2021 Subaru Forester Sport: With the outback becoming the “kids car” it was time for me to get another…

  • A BEAR!

    A BEAR!

    As a family we hadn’t seen a bear yet since moving to Montana.  I saw 4 last summer, 1 driving home from Bridger, one driving out Fairy lake road, 1 hiking in the Spanish peaks (a cub and we didn’t see mom!!!) and one driving through YNP too far away with too short a lens. …

    Sony A7rIV review

    A7rIV!  I finally bit the bullet and picked up the a7riv.  I hadn’t originally planned on it, in fact this is a camera that had almost no apeal to me at launch.  Some of the software updates sounded nice and the bigger button’s coudn’t hurt but I was happy with my a7riii so why take…

    Took a drive today through YNP to the beartooths then home again.  Skied Gardiner headwall while in the beartooths.  Had a great day and saw some fun wildlife!

  • The Great One!

    The Great One!

    Went for a hike today, Fairy lake to Sacajawea to Naya Nuki then skied the great one.  I brought the 200-600 with me which is a first for me (bringing the real camera skiing, especially BC skiing with a long hike).  I did it hoping to see a few goats and I was not disappointed!

    Pronghorns, Bison, an Eagle & Cranes oh my!

    Been shooting more lately.  Here’s a pretty random assortment, Bison at spanish peak, some birds in our hood, 2 landscapes, my daughter, some sandhill cranes at ennis as well as some pronghorns, then a bald eagle munching on something with feathers on the drive home one night!

    Sony 200-600mm review

    I finally picked up a sony 200-600mm.  Since moving to Montana and this lens getting announced I’ve felt like it’s the lens for wildlife photography.  I’ve been considering one for a long time but finally bit the bullet, sold the 100-400 and got one!  I didn’t own them both at the same time so I…

    Ran into a group of pelicans on the river today!

  • Bald Eagle

    Bald Eagle

    Went for a drive and watched this eagle bully an osprey for his lunch!  The image above is pretty bang on sharp, the rest in the gallery below are softer than I like from either camera shake from the long lens or cropping a ton.  I’m learning but this is NOT easy!
