Free Roaming Photography Welcomed by Global Arts
Grizzly Bear #610 of Grand Teton National Park walks along the ice waters of Oxbow Bend with her three cubs as they search for a meal.
I was recently told by someone that the above image should be in a gallery. As it turns out, it will be! I was recently approached by Global Arts Gallery in Lander, Wyoming to display my work. This will be my first so I am very excited to have up to ten works on the walls of the space. I am also shooting to have everything ready to go by June 1st, but timing will be tricky so at the moment it is more of a one-day-at-a-time process.
The work will be a sampling from some of my favorite pieces over time and will showcase my favorite subjects: predators, large prey species, and of course, night. I look forward to seeing the space to … Continue reading
The Paintbrush-Cascade Canyon Loop
A dramatic sunset casts a pink glow over the North Fork of Cascade Canyon in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.
Whenever planning a backpacking trip in Grand Teton National Park, or any national park, always check with that park’s Visitor Center to inquire about any necessary permits. A free permit is required when backpacking in Grand Teton National Park.
Distance (loop): 19.2 miles
Difficulty: Strenuous
Best time of year: Summer, Fall
For those with limited time, but want a true excursion into the Teton Mountains, there is no better journey than the Paintbrush-Cascade Canyon Loop. Both canyons deliver tremendous views of both the backcountry of the mountains and overlooks of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Though the scenery is only a sampling that the Tetons have to offer, it is a tremendous representation of the magnificent mountain terrain.
There is no right or wrong way to proceed around the nearly 20-mile loop, … Continue reading
12 Favorite Photos from 2012
As always, clicking on an image will bring you to a higher quality version.
January
Hoar frost clings to trees along the Snake River on a chilly January morning in Grand Teton National Park.
Despite a lack of wildlife to be found around the area, I was still able to make great opportunities as they arose. The winter had turned into an unusually warm one for Jackson Hole and while normally it’s too cold to even snow, rain was becoming common throughout January. Yet winter still persisted off and on. On one such morning, I woke up to -17F and made an opportunity to make the most of it. One of my favorite series of shots came from a bridge crossing the Snake River in Grand Teton National Park. Small pieces of ice were carried down the water from farther upstream as an earlier fog coated the trees that lined … Continue reading

Best of Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris – June 22-29, 2012
Below are my preferred shots from the past week of guiding with Jackson Hole Wildlife Safaris.

Get in touch with them if you’d like me to guide you out there!… Continue reading

Put Down the Camera

Whether we’re photographers or not, one thing we all want to do when we see a beautiful scene or something we’ve never seen before is to immediately capture it to have some kind of documentation, or even proof that it happened. As a result, it’s almost as if we’re not quite getting the full experience of such a scene, particularly the emotion that would otherwise infuse us with cherished memories of such a place or event. We look back at one of these photos years later not remembering the actual capturing of the image, but enjoying the fact that we saw it because it’s there in our collection, so surely we must have.
Many of us have a sort of trained mindset to always be thinking about what’s next. Usually … Continue reading
