News And Field Notes (News)

Over the past couple of weeks, Sally and I have received many emails, instant messages, and phone calls asking, "is the Grand Canyon going to be open, and are you planning to run your monsoon workshops?" We want to take a few minutes to address these questions and provide some additional information on how I will be running my monsoon workshops and what is being done to provide a safe and healthy workshop environment...

As many of my readers have probably figured out, Grand Canyon is a special place for me. I've been spending years now exploring the canyon from the rim to the river. I photograph the canyon because I love it, it's really as simple as that...

We just got our first snowfall of the season here in Flagstaff, and as I sit here in the comfort of my home, watching the snow gently fall through the tall Ponderosa pine trees, I'm reminded that I have two spots open in my upcoming winter workshop at Grand Canyon National Park...

I've wrapped up a great workshop here at the Grand Canyon. Over the past 5 days we have photographed the canyon from both the South Rim and the North Rim. The group was absolutely fantastic and lots of fun to work with as we chased light, learned new photographic techniques, and made new friends...

I had the opportunity to work with a great group of kids yesterday at the Grand Canyon. Together we hiked along the rim searching for opportunities to frame the canyon through the trees. They invited me to join them for dinner (the quesadillas were awesome!), and afterwards, we went back out to the rim to photograph the sunset...

Last month I got an email from the Director of Photography at National Geographic Traveler magazine asking if I would be interested in sharing some tips for photographing the Grand Canyon. They had just published one of my photos of the canyon in the magazine, and they were becoming more familiar with my work...

I'm excited to share that my photo of the 'Super Blue Blood Moon' at Grand Canyon has been published in the current issue of the National Geographic Traveler magazine!

This scene was captured from Desert View on January 31st, 2018...

The May 2019 issue of Arizona Highways is out and I can't hide it, I'm pretty excited about this. My work is on both the cover and back cover of the magazine!!! In addition to the covers, my work was also used for the table of contents page, and five more images in a portfolio within the magazine...

Happy Earth Day!
