Grand Canyon Panorama ~ Wotan’s Throne
I believe that one of the most magnificent views of the Grand Canyon is from Cape Royal on the North Rim. It’s a view that I think everyone should see at least once in their life. Myself, I’ve been very lucky to not only visit, but also photograph from this location many times. The [...]
Temple in the Clouds
This image was created on the same morning as the image in the post “Waiting for a Window” and was a scene that lasted only a matter of seconds as clouds once again obscured the view. Due to the fierce winds and some blowing snow, I was shooting with two camera bodies in order to avoid [...]
Ford on Route 66
The grille of an old Ford pickup, photographed somewhere along Route 66 in Arizona. Let me know if you would like to see more photos like this! Camera, Canon 5D Mark II Lens, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II Exposure, f/13 @ 1/250 second, ISO 1600
Waiting for a Window ~ Grand Canyon
A few weeks ago I drove up to the Grand Canyon to spend some time shooting for myself. A late winter storm was forecast to hit the area and I wanted to be there as it broke up. My plan was to create a photo of the canyon covered in a fresh dusting of [...]
Cardenas over the Colorado
The Colorado River is often lost amongst the temple, buttes, and towering walls of the Grand Canyon. Even when it is visible it is overshadowed by the sheer scale of the other natural features which surround it. From a point on the canyon’s South Rim I created this photo of the Colorado flowing into the shadows of the [...]
Autumnal Grace
Every autumn in the American West, landscape photographers seek-out large forests of aspen trees for their golden leaves and white trunks. The cottonwood tree on the other hand is often overlooked. It’s leaves too can glow with an intense yellow with a bit of an orange hue. Their trunks are just as magnificent with [...]
Canyon Fire ~ Grand Canyon National Park
You can wait years for a sunset like this, one of the most amazing displays of color that I have witnessed at the canyon. It was almost as if the light and color was painting the atmosphere in the canyon. If you look closely you can see that even the Colorado River, hidden 5,000 feet [...]
A Buick in the Desert
I find old cars to be absolutely fascinating, especially when they are abandoned and left to rust in out-of-the-way places in southern Utah. On this particular morning, a sliver of light was shining between two buildings behind me casting a bit of light onto the hood and grille of this old car. Camera, Canon [...]
Winter on the Rim of the Grand Canyon
The same storm that went through northern Arizona last week, dumping nearly 3 feet of snow at my home near Flagstaff, also left it’s mark, albeit temporary, at the Grand Canyon. It was zero degrees, 90% humidity, and the wind was howling when I created this image. I love shooting in harsh conditions, but [...]
Artist’s Light ~ Grand Canyon
A soft light paints the Grand Canyon with colors lifted straight off a painter’s palette. I love all kinds of light, but this really spoke to me as an artist. It’s a simple light that fills the atmosphere with warmth and color. If you don’t mind, I’d like to take a minute to talk [...]
A Night of Convergence ~ Grand Canyon
After a wonderful evening spent photographing the Grand Canyon from a infrequently visited spot near Desert View, my workshop client, Satta, and I made our way back to our vehicles as the last glimmer of daylight faded in the distance. We were tired, we felt good about a very productive day of photography from [...]
Watchtower Spirits ~ Grand Canyon
My first visit to the Grand Canyon was in the late summer of 1999. My wife and I entered the park through its eastern entrance at Desert View. The first thing you see, even before actually seeing the canyon itself, is the Watchtower. It was a Saturday, the park was busy, and many people [...]
San Francisco de Asis Church & a ’56 Chevy
I was eating an early dinner one afternoon at the Ranchos Plaza Grill, enjoying a relaxing meal before heading out to capture sunset. When the weather cooperates, and it usually does in the summer here in Taos, I like to eat on their patio taking in the fresh high-desert air. On this particular afternoon, just [...]
Plaza Blanca ~ The Lighthouse
I recently spent an afternoon exploring Plaza Blanca near Abiquiu, New Mexico, with a couple of friends. I hadn’t been there in many years, but getting back there made me realize what a special place it is. Georgia O’Keeffe apparently liked it as well and referred to it as her “White Place”.
Bryce Canyon ~ The Walking Tree
An early winter morning from the rim of Bryce Canyon at Sunrise Point.

Tuskegee Airmen P-51C Mustang
This P-51C Mustang was once flown by Capt. Andrew “Jug” Turner, a Tuskegee Airmen of the 332nd Fighter Group, while serving in the European Theater in World War II. It is now proudly flown and maintained by the Red Tail Squadron of the Commemorative Air Force.
Reflection of Light ~ Rio Grande Gorge near Taos
Mother Nature really put on a fabulous light show complete with a hint of mist and rain in the Rio Grande Gorge with a wonderful monsoon sky high above the desert. This is one of my all-time favorite locations and in my opinion the Rio Grande Gorge is the quintessential New Mexican landscape. >>> Purchase prints or [...]
