Top Ten Favorites from 2016

by 4 Comments

Now that 2016 is coming to an end, I thought I would share some of my favorites from this year. It’s been an adventurous year in the western U.S. and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting some truly wonderful travelers on my workshops. I’m always amazed at the dynamic nature and diversity of our groups and how everyone shapes each trip. When you put a bunch of passionate photographers together in some stunning places, you can’t ask for a better time.

One of the things I love about teaching photography workshops is watching the creativity that is stirred up by the group. Watching each other work and how each individual approaches the same scene spurs new ideas and really helps encourage thinking outside of your creative comfort zone. I think sometimes I learn just as much while teaching and traveling with others.

As we begin 2017, I look forward to meeting new friends, exploring new places and staying in gratitude for the amazing abundance we all share here. Wishing everyone the best in the new year!

Just returned from a fantastic trip co-leading for Natural Habitat Adventures on their Yellowstone Winter Photo Expedition. We had such a wonderful group of travelers and perfect conditions on this trip, allowing great views of the Tetons and some pretty sweet wildlife viewing. We started out in Jackson, Wyoming working our way up into the interior of Yellowstone, exploring geyser basins around Old Faithful and eventually working our way up in the northern range of the park over the course of the week. We had some great wildlife viewing in the northeast getting to spend some time observing the wolves of the Lamar Pack and also some great Bison photography.

I’m finally back at home now getting caught up on some much overdue editing and getting ready for spring (hard to believe!) and also some upcoming talks. In a couple weeks if you happen to find yourself in western Montana, I will be giving a talk on the “Art of Nature Photography” at the Bitterroot Audubon Society on Feb. 15 in Hamilton. If interested, feel free to contact me for more details or visit their site at bitterrootaudubon.org. In the meantime, I will be enjoying the little bit of winter we have left  and looking forward to getting out and about around western Montana.

Thought I would post a link to some new photography workshops I will be teaching in Montana this year hosted by Wild West Photos out of Bozeman, Montana. Wild West will be starting out with some new workshops in Glacier & Grand Teton National Parks, Summer-Fall 2011. In addition they are also reserving spots for January 2012, Yellowstone National Park.

I will be teaching a summer and fall workshop up in Glacier National Park starting this July and next September. I will also be teaching the winter Yellowstone workshop for 2012, which is just an amazing place to be in the winter if you haven’t been. Both parks offer up some of the best photography in the country with amazing and unique landscapes as well as some of the best wildlife. Grizzlies, Wolves, Elk, Bighorn Sheep… Workshop sizes are being kept small, so they may fill up quickly. Feel free to drop me a line with any questions.
