Here is the first shot from my latest trip to Hawaii with Jon Cornforth. We’re out here for 10 days on the Big Island doing a landscape shoot in some of the most dramatic and beautiful regions the US has to offer. Yesterday we scouted and shot on the coastline near Place of Refuge National [...]

Today’s picture flies in the face of all conventional landscape photography wisdom. I know this, because I tried doing it by the book and it wasn’t half – or even a quarter – as nice. Rule #1 in landscape photography: Thou shalt shoot at dawn or dusk – and none other – lest thou [...]

One good way to find locations to shoot is to look at other photographers work from that area – figure out [...]

We returned to the Motherload last night to give it one last shot at making a memorable picture. It was a hot, dry day in Borrego Springs – and these conditions really took a toll on the wildflowers. The amount of wilting made it clear that we really only had one more crack at getting [...]

This picture is of the harbor in Vernazza, Italy – the 4th town in the Cinque Terre. The Cinque Terre is a unique and picturesque area in northwestern Italy made up of five small towns linked by hiking trails and a rail line. We stayed in Vernazza in November, 2007 for a few days to [...]
