Why You Should Take Up Backpacking
To get the shots I really wanted, I went out and bought a backpack. A tent. A stove. A mattress. A headlamp. A small pillow. A Jet Boil. A knife. Extra camera batteries. Matches. A wine bota. If you want to shoot in the golden light, miles from the nearest road, you’re just going to…

Photo Of The Week- Grizzly Stare- Warning! Not For The Squeamish
The look on the face of this grizzly bear at Yellowstone National Park still gives me the creeps. Looks like he is mad because I took his picture or that I found him finishing off this elk carcass. I was about 100 yards from him and only 50 yards to my vehicle. He was also…

Its biodiversity and geologic wonders are what grabbed the attention of Congress through the photos and paintings of Jackson and Moran respectively during the…

Photo of the Week – The Unusual is the Usual at this place….
The unusual is the usual at this place. Grotesque shapes of rock cast by millions of years of weathering have produced a carnival of oddities that Barnum & Bailey would be proud of. I half expected a woman with a beard to come walking around the corner. The rock in the foreground is called half…
