Print of the Month
I’ve been wanting to do this for quite some time. For me, there is something very special about seeing one of my prints hanging on a wall, in another person’s home. It is a striking compliment, and one that I always appreciate. So here’s the deal. I’ve always wanted to offer high quality prints at a discounted rate. Photography (and art in general) should not be an exclusive club available only to the wealthy art collectors. With that in mind, I’ve decided to offer a monthly print special. 1 image for 1 month. 1 special low price. The images will all be Gallery Wraps – a fine art canvas is wrapped over a wooden frame. Plus 1 more option. 2 sizes to choose from. Why, well – the smaller size is less expensive and will give more people the...
Workshop Announcement: Alaska's Southern Coast. June 11-18, 2010!
This is the workshop I’ve been subtly hinting about for a while now. I’m very excited to be hosting this workshop along with my good friend Gary Gullett. Gary is the owner and founder of Chicago Photo Safaris, and we met over 1 year ago while photographing the wild waters wildlife of Kenai Fjords National Park. No kidding, this is going to be a long post. I’ve written a trip description for our workshop/adventour – you will find it below. If you have any questions regarding this amazing photo workshop, please feel free to email any time. I will respond as quickly & completely as I can. If this trip sounds like something you want to do, consider this – it will fill quickly. Before the trip was formally announced, we’ve...
Illuminating the Fog
This is yet another composition made above Willow Lake, just southwest of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park boundary. We spent two incredible sunrises and two sunsets here, along with 2 moonrises near the sunset times. Each morning there would be a light mist over the lake, a slowly moving fog. As the sky brightened, preceding sunrise, the fog would coalesce. Thickening and speeding up, it would quickly enshroud the lake less than 100 yards from our vantage point. Unseen ducks would call from deep within the hanging mist, as it drifted between the trees just below. Everything become dimensional and layered. Closer objects were darkly silhouetted, but the further away we looked, they became hazy ghosts, dimly lit by the glow on the horizon. Sometimes, when...
Moonrise Over Mount Blackburn
This image was captured 1 week ago, Saturday night. It was the night after the full moon. But hey, close enough. It really was a magical sight, as the moon crested the snow-capped peaks then climbed into the newly anointed nighttime sky. This image is actually 3 images stitched together to form 1 large file. 1 shot for the left, 1 for the center, 1 for the right. It still has nearly a standard format size (approximately 8×5), but it is very detailed and can easily be printed much larger than a single photo of the same scene could. Coming up? Aspen Extreme… Part Trois (or should that be Part Tree?), as well as a sunset panoramic from the same location the following evening. Stay tuned.
