Canyon Vortex
Star trails over the Monument Rocks area of Kansas. This was a 75-image stack out of 500 images that I captured for a time-lapse here.

Fort Washita
All that remains of the old barracks at the Civil War Fort Washita in Oklahoma. As I stood here in the late evening I was trying to keep my wits about me after shooting in the nearby graveyard earlier. I kept getting very eery breezes that were ice cold all while this was shot on [...]

Stiles Courthouse
This old courthouse is all that remains of the ghost town of Stiles. I had driven down a narrow little dirt road to get here and then spent the night shooting the building for time-lapse material. As I sat in the dark, a loud rumbling sound came down the road and just out of my [...]

Forgotten Walls
The limestone walls of the Monument Rocks, also known as the Chalk Pyramids are located in the mode unlikely place: Kansas. Yes, that Kansas! Having spent a day and half here, admiring the beauty and tranquility of this place, I can safely say that I felt like “I wasn’t in Kansas anymore”.

Turret At Night
Most of the night I was battling thick cloud cover but after about 3a.m., the clouds finally broke down a bit and made for some interesting compositions as seen here over Turret Arch. I lit this with a gelled, and gridded speedlight.

Wahweap Hoodoos Under The Milky Way
After hiking nearly 5 miles down a semi-dry riverbed in the middle of the night, I finally emerged onto a scene that looked like it was from another planet. The Wahweap Hoodoos are just such a unique backdrop to the beautiful skies here.

Studhorse Point
This was such a unique place with fascinating hoodoos all over the place. Overlooking Lake Powell in the distance, these hoodoos stand tall in the night, accented by colored glow sticks and the faint glow of Page, Arizona in the background.

Life On Mars
This was the reward for hiking nearly 5 miles down a horrible dry river bed to the Wahweap Hoodoos. The Hoodoos are lit in the background and there is another shot in this gallery of the hoodoos closeup, but I really like the scene from standing back aways too. This place felt like it was [...]

Arches At Night
This was a shot that I was pleased that it turned out as I was afraid the night was going to be a bust. When I arrived back at the park at night, I found the area heavily covered in clouds and feared that the night would be a loss. However, the ambient light pollution [...]

Arches at Dusk
This was one of my favorite (and rare) daytime shots while at Arches National Park. This was right as the sun was going down and the glow was just unbelievable. This place is just perfection, it’s so beautiful – it’s like everything was placed there by hand.
