Continuing my review of the the past decade…
More adventures in Canada in early 2008. This time it was a winter trip to Banff and Jasper in the Canadian Rockies. I had visited this area briefly in 2000 on my way to Vancouver. It had been in the spring of that year and a completely different [...]

Continuing my review of the the past decade…
In addition to a plethora of US trips, 2007 had me returning to Canada once again. Canada has always been a favorite destination of mine. The weather suits me, the people are great, and the country offers such a wide variety of locations to photograph.
I had whet my [...]

Happy New Year everyone! This time of year always makes one reflect on the past and I’ve been doing my share. I’ve also realized that this year is a landmark of sorts for me — it marks my first decade as a travel photographer.
Well… that’s not entirely true. I’ve actually been shooting and selling to [...]

I’ve been on the road this week working on several projects. Domestic stuff — nothing outside the U.S. — but the inner Canadian in me was thrilled to spot this (and several other) Tim Hortons near Columbus, Ohio. Oh, Timmy! I knew you’d broken into Michigan but I’m so happy to see you spreading southward.
For [...]

This weekend we brought home the family furniture (mentioned on this blog before here) that has been being lovingly restored for the past year. That’s it. We’re officially finally all moved in to our new house now. I didn’t say unpacked — just moved in. (And, true to my word, I did get some of [...]

Here it is, 2009. Where did the time go? 2008 was an amazing year for me, filled with plenty of travel — even though we swore we would cut back so that we could buy a new house. While we did buy a house, move, and sell the old one, we didn’t do a very [...]

With the move more or less behind us it’s time to get back to business. Today that meant catching up on some stock submissions that had been accumulating in my outbox. This shot of Vermillion Lakes near Banff, Canada, among many others will soon be available for licensing through Robert Harding World Imagery. I’m still [...]

Watched “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” last night and was awestruck by some of the film’s imagery. It’s not at all what you would consider a typical western and it’s not something to watch if you’re interested in historical accuracy (Alberta, Canada, and the Canadian Rockies serve as the backdrop [...]

I returned from Canada late Saturday night and jumped right back into work on Sunday. Today I finally had enough of a breather to start the post-processing from this trip. The shot above is a pano created with the Photo Merge command in Photoshop from eight separate shots I took at Peyto Lake. I shot [...]

I had a great experience last night on the Maligne Canyon ice hike in Canada’s Jasper National Park. This is a trip you must make with a guide. Boots and ice spikes are provided — a necessity for the second half of the hike when you are literally walking on the frozen and sometimes slushy [...]
