This was a particularly cold, rainy and moody night along the Oregon coast in winter. This is a long 30 second exposure taken well after sunset.

People come from all over the world to photograph the slot canyons of Southern Utah and Northern Arizona. The deep, narrow canyons filter the sunlight to perfect photogenic levels. It's like shooting fish in a barrel. This photo reminds me of fire.

I love the texture of this photo. If you look closely you can see the Fibonacci spiral in the light reflecting from the shells.

I love how the lines in the photo are so symmetrical. This is about a 30 x 20 foot cross section of porus desert sandstone. The dark areas are from areas that were still wet and saturated from heavy rains from the previous days.

This is approximately a 20 x 30 foot cross section of the side of an iceberg. This piece of ice is the remnant of a glacier that had broken loose. I imagine it took thousands of years for it to make its way to the water where I came across it.

This photo was taken in 2005 when I was in Death Valley for the 100 year bloom. It was my first time to Death Valley and I really wanted to capture a photo that conveyed what I always imagined it to be like. I think this photo captured that feeling.
Glacier ice is so blue because it absorbs every color except blue. Blue is the only color of light strong enough to escape the compressed ice. The thicker the glacier, the more blue it is. This photo was taken from underneath a 2000 foot thick glacier.

This is approximately an 80 x 200 ft. section of the top layer of the Juneau Ice Field. It is hard to appreciate the staggering size of this place without actually hiking on top of it with ice gear. Truly awe inspiring to say the least.

The lichen growing on this particular patch of trees is the thickest I have ever come across. It also was very uniquie in its shade of lighter green color. Tres cool!
