Sequoia Trail

Sequoia Trail

Another great turnout at the August Fullerton Art Walk. Thanks to all of you who stopped by to show your support (and a special thanks to those of you who purchased some of my work!). We will have to hit the pavement and find a new location for the upcoming art walks, but Unity Salon [...]


Zion Watchman in Black and White

Zion Watchman in Black and White

Been interesting using Photomatix Pro on some of the photos from our trip to Zion National Park. The image above is an HDR compilation of three photos (regular exposure, +2 exposure, -2 exposure). I then converted the image to black and white using Silver Efex Pro.

Bryce Canyon National Park at Sunrise

Bryce Canyon National Park at Sunrise

Bryce Canyon National Park, in Utah, is simply stated, an absolutely fantastic landscape. Along the many overlooks amazing hoodoos stretch for miles and miles, prime examples of how ice, water, and erosion can carve rock and create spectacular vistas. Images of Bryce have spurred the imagination for years, so much so that years ago a [...]


Zion Canyon at Sunset

Zion Canyon at Sunset

We’ve successfully returned from Southern Utah (with a quick stop off in Las Vegas)…and we’ve had to dive right in to moving this week. So updates are still going to be light while we get squared away in the new place. But I wanted to stop moving boxes for a few minutes this afternoon and [...]


Zion Canyon and the Virgin River

Zion Canyon and the Virgin River

Day 2
The plan was to wake up early and catch the sunrise. Reality was a little different as we got a late start (around 8am) and caught the shuttle in to Zion National Park. Dropped off at the Grotto, we started up the strenuous Angel’s Landing trail (2.5 miles/1800 elevation gain). We worked our way [...]


Watchman Zion National Park

Watchman Zion National Park

Day One -
Arrived in Springdale, Utah, just outside of Zion National Park. Staying at the fantastic Majestic View Lodge, which for the price is a great place to stay just outside of the park border. Tonight’s agenda, catch the setting sun throwing light on the iconic Watchman Peak. We had a nice walk along the [...]


Reinventing the Past

Reinventing the Past

Someone mentioned to me the other day that it was interesting to go back and look at old photos, because you see how much you’ve grown in your abilities. And there is a measure of truth to that statement…but other times it’s interesting to go back through some old photos…to find something you may have [...]

Andree…blog…blog…Andree. You’ve “made” the blog baby.
A photo from our trip to Death Valley and the Sand Dunes. I’m not sure I care for this idea of having to step out from behind the camera on occasion!

A Return to Death Valley

A Return to Death Valley

Apr 21 2008 (originally posted)

As photographers we all experience moments, a time, place and setting where everything comes together, where you can instantly tell it’s special. The moment itself, to steal a phrase, that clicks. There is no wonder what you captured, but rather the excitement as you are shooting where you know you’ve done [...]
