Zion National Park
Our second trip to Utah’s Zion National Park. Last time, Steve and I hiked the subway from the top down, and I didn’t get an opportunity to photograph the popular cascades area. On this trip, Scott and I got to the trailhead at 7 am and we made it to the cascades before the hordes [...]

San Juans, Colorado
Colorado is home to the largest aspen forests in the world, so it’s no surprise that photographers flock here during the fall. I began my trip by visiting the iconic Maroon Bells, shooting the sunrise with no fewer than 50 other photographers. Then I made my way south towards Crested Butte via Kebler Pass, and [...]

Alaska II
We should have taken the near collision with a grizzly bear to be a sign. After such a successful trip in 2004, this year was not to be. We flew standby, which saved a lot of money but made for some long waits at the airport. It rained the entire trip, which explains the lack [...]

Cuyamaca
I’m not sure whose idea it was, but we decided to celebrate the end of The Lopilla’s bachelorhood by getting blasted at Cuyamaca. How we made it through the night without a complaint or visit from the park ranger, I have absolutely no idea. The Lopilla was in fine form, performing a suspiciously fast transformation [...]

Yellowstone & Grand Teton
Yellowstone is a hotbed for nature photography, and Fall is a beautiful time of year to visit. By late September, the crowds have thinned and the colors are simply breathtaking! I spent a couple of days in Grand Teton and then drove north through Yellowstone. Back to Teton, then back to Yellowstone, and finally out [...]

White Mountains
Mads and I visited the White Mountains, which are home to several groves of Ancient Bristlecone Pines. These are some of the oldest living things on Earth, and I have long been fascinated by them. This is a dry, barren environment that receives little rain and fierce winds. We made our photographs and camped under [...]

La Fonda, Mexico
Independence Day fell on a Wednesday this year, but that was no excuse not to get out and party like rockstars. With the demise of the annual Mammoth trip for reasons unknown, we decided to head south to catch some waves. After checking a flat San Miguel, we settled on La Fonda, which rarely disappoints. [...]

Death Valley
A big thanks goes out to Big O Tires for this one. Scott, Ken, and I headed out to Death Valley for some early winter photography. We hit Eureka Dunes the first morning, and then blew two tires on the way out to The Racetrack. 24 hours and $1,000 later we were back in San [...]
