Mike Cavaroc Discovers Photography
A little over six years ago my life changed forever. I retired a two megapixel point-and-shoot camera, took a plunge and bought a brand new 6.4 megapixel Canon Digital Rebel 300D – the very first in the series. I had been using the point-and-shoot mostly for friends and hanging out, but every now and then would look up at the sky and see something inspiring that I wanted to capture. It didn’t take me long to realize that I simply didn’t have the control I wanted in capturing what I was seeing.
The Digital Rebel began opening up all kinds of doors I never knew existed. All of a sudden I had a creative outlet flowing through me that I hadn’t been able to find in taking any other classes while in the Art program in college. I graduated with a Master’s of Fine Arts shortly … Continue reading

When driving home along Sagebrush Drive, Cody Peak always … Continue reading
Top Five Images from 2009 and Keeping It New
In what’s definitely good news for me, I had a really hard time trying to narrow five photos that I was really proud that I had taken during 2009. There were still quite a few I would have liked to have included, but I had already upped it from three to five so I had to draw the line somewhere. They’re in no particular order, but all resonated strongly with me from this past year for one reason or another.
In reflecting back on them and on the year that’s just come to an end, I realized that while not only has my photography changed (for the better), but I have as well (for better and worse). I thought back to when I first moved up here to Jackson Hole a little over a year ago and thought about how excited I was to wake up early every day and … Continue reading
