Inspiring Heights

During an arduous multi-day snowshoe trek around Crater Lake these clouds pushed in ahead of an approaching storm. As sunset neared they drifted into place over the lake. While cold winter winds were gusting from my vantage point, the winds below must have been very calm as have never seen Crater Lake in such a placid state in the middle of winter, Cascade Mountains, Oregon Additional Print Options: Museum Quality Fujiflex Supergloss Print: 8 x 12/$65 12 x 18/$125 16 x 24/$250 24 x 36/$500 To place an order, please email.

Steens Mountain Sunbow

The weather on the eastern slope of Steens Mountain is always full of unexpected surprises. This amazing sunbow began to form one afternoon while I was on top of Mickey Butte. In creating this photo I used a technique that I'd only used a few times before. I knew this was the perfect scene for it due to the brightness of the sun relative to the rest of the landscape. Using a dark card to block out the sky, I made one exposure for the land; for the next exposure I removed the dark card and exposed for the sky. This was all done in camera on the same frame of film. The result almost gives the scene a moon-lit feel. This technique can be a little tricky, but when done right it can give very unique results.

A Day in the Mountains

At the end of a long afternoon run around Broken Top Peak in the Central Oregon Cascades, I came across this beautiful meadow of mountain heather. The angle of the late afternoon light gave the pink and purple flowers a special glow which complemented the greens in the middle ground very nicely. Despite being thirsty and sunburned, I spent over an hour working this scene while clouds danced over the distant peaks of Middle and North Sister.

Side by Side

This was the last image I made of the 2004-2008 eruptive phase of Mount St.Helens. As the magma extrusion slowed, plumes of condensing steam such as this became less frequent. On this helicopter flight I was fortunate to get one last glimpse of it. Flanked on either side of St.Helens is Mount Adams (left) and Mount Hood (right).
