Elephant Rock 11.26
I spent Thankgiving week back home in Massachusetts and managed to get out for a sunrise shoot with a crew from the New School of Photography. I’ve been a member on the forum for over a year and a half now and it was great to finally meet some of the people who make up [...]
Mammoth Walkway at Sunrise
This whole area is buried under about a foot of snow now after the storm last weekend. Thought I’d share this shot of the walkways at Mammoth during sunrise on November 11th. These walkways can be a real hassle when trying to find a good angle to frame a shot. The ground is so hot [...]
Sunrise at Mammoth Hot Springs
On the epic date of 11/11/11 I woke up wicked early and drove down to Yellowstone to attempt to shoot the sunrise at Mammoth Hot Springs. I was a little late because of a slow rancher, but still caught some cool light. This whole area has tons of potential for sunrises as the dead calm [...]
Sunrise and Wildlife in Grand Teton National Park
After the mad crush of shooting and editing that was Cyclocross Weekend in Bozeman, I’ve had a chance to return to my shots from my last trip to Grand Teton National Park at the end of October. I don’ t normally shoot wildlife. I’m much more comfortable with landscapes as far as composition and technical [...]
Cyclocross Weekend Highlights
I shot over 2000 pictures this past weekend, culled those 2000 down to about 450 that I posted in my race galleries, and of those 450 I have three that are my favorites. This guy was a total badass. He had the best moustache of the entire race, no question. I’m really happy with this [...]
Mulecross & MTCX State Championships
This past weekend was full of cyclocross in Bozeman. Saturday was the third running of Team Muleterro‘s Mulecross race. As usual, the race had a killer course, great costumes, and hilarious announcers. Sunday was the first running of the MTCX State Championships, hosted by GAS/Intrinsik Cycling. Their course had challenging technical sections, a spooky barn, [...]
Teton Sunrise
I woke up really early last Saturday morning, packed up my tent, and started driving towards Schwabacher Landing. The morning was incredibly misty with low hanging fog everywhere and just the faintest hint of light on the horizon at 6:30AM. However, the light grew brighter faster and faster and I eventually forced myself to stop [...]
Grand Teton Black & Whites
I just got back from another trip to Grand Teton National Park. I spent Friday night camping out on the Gros Ventre Road in the Bridger Teton National Forest and woke up real early for sunrise on Saturday morning. The alpenglow on the Tetons took a while to arrive, but it was spectacular. I’m still [...]
Cooke City
On the 14th I drove back into Yellowstone and all the way across the Lamar Valley to Cooke City. I was vaguely disappointed with the affair. I woke up really early with the hope of shooting sunrise over the Paradise Valley. The day was so grey that there was no sunrise. The sky gradually went from black [...]
Grand Teton B Roll
I’ve processed some of my “B Roll” shots from my trip to Grand Teton National Park at the end of September. “B Roll” shots are typically those that I don’t think are my best work or have something technically wrong with them that prevents them from being really top-notch. Click the picture of the elk [...]
Early Fall in Grand Teton National Park
On the 30th I finally drove down to Grand Teton National Park. Although Grand Teton is directly to the south of Yellowstone, it’s totally different. I can’t decide which of the two parks I enjoy more. They’re both quite different. It’s nice to be able to reach both of them easily in a day. I [...]
Grand Prismatic Spring & New Camera
I finally got the shot of the Grand Prismatic Spring that I’ve been looking to get for a couple of months. Walking along the bike path from the Fairy Falls trailhead, I followed a worn path up a steep hillside into a ridge overlooking the Midway Geyser Basin. The view was tremendous and I took [...]
Western Yellowstone
I’m going to try and make a trip down to Yellowstone National Park a weekly event. This past Friday I drove back to Gardiner and headed west from Mammoth towards Old Faithful. This section of park road that runs from Mammoth towards Old Faithful is, so far, my favorite stretch in the park. It starts with the [...]
The Lamar Valley
Last Saturday I drove down into Yellowstone National Park and out into the Lamar Valley looking for some wildlife. Along the way I stopped at Tower Fall and the Petrified Tree. I saw a ton of buffalo and some elk on the lawn in Mammoth. Hopefully as fall progresses and it gets colder more of [...]
Gooch Hill Sunset
Gooch Hill rises out of the farmland of the southwestern outskirts of Bozeman and provides a decent vantage point for capturing the light of sunrise or sunset hitting the Bridger Range. I drove out to Gooch Hill and took some shots this evening. I can’t wait for some snow on the Bridgers to really reflect [...]
Driving from Montana to Massachusetts
I study at Montana State University in Bozeman, MT and summer on Cape Cod. This means that I’m lucky enough to get to drive across the country twice per year. Last spring, starting in mid-May I left Bozeman and drove for seven days back to the Cape. I always try and stop and see National [...]
Cambridge Sunset
Sunset from the 12th floor of a building just down Mass Ave from Harvard Square was a stunning last Sunday night. The buildings were all lit up by a brilliant orange glow and the sky seemed beyond scale.
Late Season Skiing at Bridger Bowl
I started my 2010-2011 Ski Season at Bridger Bowl way back on October 27th. Eight months of skiing later, I finished my season in the same place. View Late Season Skiing at Bridger Bowl – May 11, 2011 in a larger map Supposedly, the mountains picked up 1-2 feet of fresh snow earlier this week [...]
York Beach, ME
I worked up another panorama this evening that complements my mountain panorama from earlier today. This image was shot in York Beach in August of 2010. I walked outside for a bit not expecting much and was blown away by the size of the clouds in the sky. The sun was just beginning to set [...]
The Big Sky
Sometimes the scale of the mountains in Montana absolutely blows me away. This panorama was shot on the road to the Beehive Basin trailhead looking across the valley to Lone Peak and the surrounding mountains. Adobe‘s Content Aware Fill can really make panoramas a lot easier. In this case, I didn’t capture as much of [...]
Fracture Print
I’m going to order a print from Fracture, both because my walls need decoration and I’m curious about their product. I’ve got five images picked out that I’m interested in having printed, but can’t decide between the five. Which is your favorite to be printed in an 18″ Fracture? Leaping Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone [...]
Big Sky in April
My brother Dan flew out to Bozeman this past week. He’s been chomping at the bit to get out here and ski ever since I moved here. I think he was probably more excited than I was when I picked MSU. We skied at Big Sky for four days and had great weather, tons of [...]
2011 Bobcat Classic
The 2011 Bobcat Classic was this past weekend at the Lewis & Clark Caverns near Whitehall, MT. Multiple teams from all over the Pacific Northwest showed up for the race. The course followed the rolling, beautiful state highways around the caverns, looping through Cardwell, and back to the Caverns through a notch. The race finished [...]
“Spring” Skiing
Spring in Bozeman has brought us several back-to-back snow storms that have dumped several feet of snow in the mountains and in town. April 8 in Bozeman It snowed all day and all night and I woke up to easily a foot of snow in Bozeman. The drive up the canyon to Big Sky was [...]
