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 [...]
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 [...]
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 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 [...]
Carhenge
This past week I completed yet another cross country drive to get back to school in Bozeman for the fall semester. I took a different route this time, cutting south in Chicago and traveling I80 through Iowa and Nebraska. While in Nebraska, it was impossible not to stop at Carhenge. Carhenge is a replication of [...]
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 [...]
Yellowstone Last November
I took the photos that I shot last November in northern Yellowstone and reworked them in Lightroom. I have some refreshes of previous photos, and some new ones that I somehow missed when I originally took the pictures. This picture is a rework of a very similar image I took in November. The trees and [...]
Mammoth Hot Springs
Another shot from last November in Yellowstone, this time of the actual springs themselves. I personally think Mammoth Hot Springs is almost better in winter, as the contrast between the snowy landscape and the incredibly hot spring water is really striking.
Elk at Mammoth Hot Springs

Yellowstone National Park
My father and I spent the weekend of November 14-16 at Yellowstone National Park. During the winter (pretty much after late October) the only entrance to the park that is open is the Northern entrance in Gardiner, MT. All the roads in the park are closed, except for the road that runs from Mammoth Hot [...]
