And the Winner Is…
Heather told me I was crazy. No one was going to be able to guess the location from this last post. Yet the first comment from Robert Levy was pretty close. Then comment after comment got closer and closer. I was in fact in Canada, and in Vancouver earlier that day, but when the image [...]
Take a Guess and Win!
On Monday friend and fellow photographer Yuri Choufour snapped this image of my daughter Jade and me. If you guess where we were and what we were photographing, you will get a print of the subject. Answer coming next week.
Tell Me What We Did and Win A Free Autographed Print
Ok, this is pretty simple (not in the slightest). Insert Dr. Evil laugh here. Tell the world how you think I created this image. We want as many details as you can think of from lighting, capture, to post processing. Remember too that architecture photography is all about moving furniture. Start there. You can even [...]
Thank You Joe McNally Thank You
So there I was staring down the barrel of over 14 hours in modern aluminum tubes dubbed “airplanes”. Crossing the sky at over five hundred miles an hour at 30,000 feet. If you know me, you know that I don’t sit still for five minutes. I don’t even sleep like a normal person. Six, seven [...]

The Water Olympics Workshop
Oh yeah it’s one of those scenes…I can here you now, nice colors Jay, I like the textures, interesting perspective. This scene is not what you think my friends. What you don’t see in this image is the devil, pure concentrated evil. I am speaking of the 666 variety. Just lurking below the calm waters [...]

Come On In The Water Is Fine
Have you ever fallen for this little game? A friend or fellow loved one jumps in the water of a pool, lake, or river and without a flinch surfaces and spouts those words? Your brain tells you as the words are coming out of their mouth, “warning, danger, do not proceed.” And as if your [...]

Craft and Vision Close to Home
On Saturday I traveled to Mount Rainier National Park with Gavriel Jecan, Libby Pfeiffer, and Steve Reeves to photograph fall colors. We encountered a little rain, but the photography opportunities were perfection. Due to the weather it was a day of the intimate landscape and as many of you know, I love to create images [...]

Wanting to capture a nighttime panoramic photograph of Toledo, Spain in which darker areas were illuminated, the Photographic Association of Toledo decided to eschew HDR and attempt something new — light-painting on an epic scale. They enlisted the help of 50 association photographers who strolled around the city firing off their flashes multiple times per minute. [...]
Public Republic Interview
Aneliya Ancgelcheva of the online international magazine Public Republic recently interviewed me for their Artist of the Week column. Have a look to see some new images. In addition, here is a photo that I created yesterday morning in San Francisco. Do you have any idea where I took it from?
The Many Faces of HDR
You would have to be living in a proverbially photographic cave to not have heard about one of photography’s latest buzzwords–HDR. Although it has been around for quite some time, like all things that break photographic traditions, the community takes its time in adopting them. I have been using High Dynamic Range imagery for 5 [...]
And the Answer is…HDR and an iPhone 4
Last week I created a post asking what a certain photo of Olympic National Park had to do with the new iPhone 4 even though the photo itself was not taken with the iPhone 4. I managed to stump everyone who participated. Thank you all for playing along. The answer is that last week’s photo [...]
Do You Know What this Photo Has to Do With…
the new iPhone 4? The answer is not that it was taken with an iPhone 4 or any phone for that matter. You can guess, I dare you.
PRIDE in Canada
This past weekend I traveled to Vancouver, Canada with friends and fellow photographers Art Wolfe and Gavriel Jecan. Our main mission there was to look for unique dog and dog owner portraits for a new book that Art is working on. In between the discovery of our main subject, it became quickly apparent to me [...]

Summit on the Summit of Kilimanjaro
Do you know where your drinking water comes from? There are many people in the world that do not and there is a growing movement to make the anyone who will listen aware of this fact. This past January, a team of actors, musicians, and National Geographic explorers set out to climb Africa’s tallest peak, [...]
Vancouver 2010 – The Olympics – Part 2 – The Context
In my first post regarding my visit to the 2010 Winter Olympics, I discussed an image and fascination with the bobsleigh since childhood.
