The Way Is Shut

The Way Is Shut

Two things you can never have too many of: Lord of the Rings references, and red rock. Utah has four incredible National Parks, all of which I saw on this last Scamp. We’ve already talked about Zion National Park, and today I’ll share some images from two...
My Little Wild Horse

My Little Wild Horse

I’m back from Ireland and Scotland, but am so backed up on photos we’ll have to get to those in a bit. Sorry, Internet! Let’s get back to that beautiful Utah Scamp Sam and I took in May, shall we? The fun of visiting the National Parks is that it...
Waiting Out the Rain in Zion

Waiting Out the Rain in Zion

Patience isn’t a virtue I’m known for, and I was reminded of this fact at Zion National Park (Utah) in April. Zion is just one of the spectacular National Parks in Utah, proving that the Mormons did know a thing or two about buying real estate....

Geeking Out on the National Parks (Interview)

I’ll post new photos from Utah this week, but in the meantime here’s an interview I did on Terrance Talks Travel about the National Parks, some of my favorites, tips on camping in the parks, and photographing them. It’s a little more than 20 minutes...

The Loneliest Road

The Loneliest Road

Lately I’ve been interested in capturing space, emptiness, and solitude in my photographs, so when a friend told me about Highway 50 across Nevada, also known as The Loneliest Road, I knew I had to go. It was a whole lot of both, which for this traveler was...
A Thousand Bucks Will Buy a Lot of Burritos

A Thousand Bucks Will Buy a Lot of Burritos

I just got some great news, and I’m celebrating with a burrito. Because sometimes you just have to splurge. I got an email this morning from the curator at the Farmington Museum, where this image, Winter Lifeguard, was featured in the show that opened Saturday....
No Lee, No Ferry, No Problem

No Lee, No Ferry, No Problem

Lee’s Ferry, on the Colorado River just before it enters Grand Canyon in Arizona, is where the one-armed adventurer, John Wesley Powell, began his epic rafting trip through the Canyon in the late 19th century. He was the first white person to do this, and since...
Birds and a Bonus Mishap

Birds and a Bonus Mishap

Hello, Internet! I’ve been taking a break to sort out some personal business, so let’s jump back in with both feet, shall we? I’ll try to make up for lost time by posting a whole pile of photos I made at one of the sweetest spots in New Mexico: the...
What’s the story?

What’s the story?

I love when places have names like writing prompts. Storrie Lake is a state park in New Mexico, near Las Vegas, and I was riffing on the name when I was there in December. As in, what’s the story at the lake? What could have happened there? According to the...
