The Art of Seeing – Compositional Guideline #1 – Avoiding Clutter

Simplifying an image of the scene is one of the most difficult things to master and it’s always challenging to me. As a landscape photographer, I often observe a wonderful vista and hopefully glorious sky and immediately think about capturing as much of it as possible. However the best images are those […]

Spin

“In our rich consumers’ civilization we spin cocoons around ourselves and get possessed by our possessions. ” – Max Lerner

An abstract from the other night when I headed out to shoot the lighthouse. Unfortunately the best sky was directly out to sea and not anywhere near the lighthouse and so I put together a […]

“Calm Before”
Isle of Palms, SC
#4

A brief interlude during the downpour as the sun peaks through. Only for a moment and then the storm is back.

For me this image is about the mood that is created by the clouds and water and the almost lack of color except for the sun. I also dig it’s […]

“Exposed”
Folly Beach, SC
#8

Still Standing

Earlier this week I met up with Josh Carlisle and Tommy White who ventured down from North Carolina to shoot the trees at Botany Bay. The roots must be pretty deep because somehow they manage to stand upright through all the storms that come our way. You would think that any hurricane […]

“Sacred Ground”
Allenspark, Colorado
#12

Colorado is an incredible place to get lost in wilderness and incredible terrain. It’s an adventurers paradise, with just about something for everyone. As we were headed back from a two week whirlwind around the state, we stumbled upon this site just off the highway. We were road weary and this place […]

Ocean Sigh

The ocean exhales and drifts into a lulled slumber.
