Rio Grande Vision
Often, we photographers have blinders on, and as a result, we miss out on other opportunities due to a narrow field of vision. I’m someone that believes that there is always a photo, it may not be the subject or scene that you were hoping for, but it’s important to keep an open mind (and [...]
Rio Grande Gorge with the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II
When it comes to getting new toys, there’s nothing better than getting a new lens. Sure, a new camera body can be great but it doesn’t necessarily change the way you see the world like a new lens does.
I recently purchased a Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II ultra-wide angle zoom lens to replace my EF [...]

Taos Panoramics
Here is a pair of panoramic photos I shot yesterday at sunset from the west rim of the Rio Grande River Gorge near Taos, New Mexico. This was our first storm of the season as it lifted off the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and cleared out of the area.

Today’s Image ~ The View
The View
Canon 5D, 24-70/2.8L, Singh-Ray graduated ND filter
I’m often asked why I moved to New Mexico, and more specifically Taos. My answer is the same every time, the view.
On the run
It has been a wet, stormy summer here in northern New Mexico. Rain clears the air and storms make for dramatic skies, and together they create a neurotic photographer. For two weekends in a row while out shooting I’ve been run off by lightning and heavy rains. When I’m not running from a storm I’m [...]
