I took this image when I first made my fisheye lens in 1998. It was in Northeastern Colorado along I-25 somewhere. Along that whole stretch of highway you see grasslands, windmills, and oil pumps.

Landscapes
Green Blanket
I was just amazed by the amount of moss growing in the Pacific Northwest. It grows on anything that doesn’t move! I really loved the juxtaposition of the moss on trees and the moss on concrete. It also reminds me that if we ever destroy ourselves through war or science, nature will take over and repair the earth. At least I have high hopes that it will thrive in our absence.
Changing Landscape
I took this photo somewhere in Oregon as we drove home from Portland recently. What made me immediately pull over as I saw this was the juxtaposition of the old rusted building with the wind turbines in the background. I realized that new technologies and our quest to be a “green” world, will ultimately change our landscapes forever. Whether you love it or hate it, this will become a more common scene for all of us.
Out of the Mist
As we begin our journey back home, we drive out of the mist and start heading west. This photo will always remind me of this trip to the pacific north west. Yesterday we spent the day in Seattle and had perhaps the best seafood meal ever! I will see you all soon.
Colorado Tranquility
This summer, my partner, a friend and I took a weekend camping trip to get away from the city for a few days. As I was working with our friend on using her new camera, we came across this scene near our campsite. The photo was taken in the late afternoon on Boreas Pass in Colorado. I truly feel blessed to live in such a beautiful state!
Cold Mountain Light
When I went camping with friends this summer, this image was one that stood out to me. It was late morning and we were wandering through the woods looking for shots. I pushed my white balance to get the moody aspect of this piece. The light coming through the cold blue trees gives a conflicting feeling of warm and cold.
Fire Tree
This photo was taking at an artist retreat in 2007 in collaboration with photographer Randall Bellows. The red tree was created with an off camera flash with a red gel. I love working with other artists. Often new and exciting ideas out of brainstorming.
Sunrise over the Maumee
Early one morning, my dad and I were driving to work on my parents new house and we passed this scene. I made him turn around and took some time to take a few exposures. The slight fog added to the dreamy feeling of this piece.
Picnic Dreams
This picnic table, framed by the mountains and seemingly afloat on the waters of a placid lake, is straight out of a dream. The fisheye lens blurs the harsh lines of reality and invites us to retreat from the hassels of day-to-day life. The image is like a sphere of serenity–the image a bubble reflects as it floats away.
