Those who know me best know that I have been friends with Art Wolfe for some time now. He was a huge inspiration before I even had a career in photography and now our relationship has turned into a great friendship. I have spent the last 10 days with him traveling around Washington, sometimes photographing, sometimes driving (12+ hours straight one day), sometimes working and more often than not, laughing. I can count on him to make me laugh to the point that my stomach muscles are sore by time our trips are over. He invokes a drive in me to work harder and push my creativity farther than ever before. Sitting and watching the world pass you by is not an option for Art nor is it even in his vocabulary.
Here are two more photos from Mount Rainier National Park. The star trails image resulted in only 3 hours of sleep in order to be at Reflection Lake for sunrise. The high pressure that has been in place in the Pacific Northwest gave way briefly one evening to produce enough clouds for an unbelievable sunset. I now get to go home for a month, shoot a bunch of architecture projects, and catch up on running my business before it all starts again in Grand Teton National Park when Art, Gavriel Jecan, and I will be leading a workshop together. The whirlwind never stops…

Two days ago Younes Bounhar and I spent the day trekking into Eunice Lake in Mount Rainier National Park to photograph the sunset. The day was a a bit of an “epic” due to the fact that the snow was still about 6 feet deep along the trail and closer to 10 feet deep once we got up to the lake itself. For most of the day we were cursing our friend Art who gave us all of the information and advice regarding how to get there, but in the end his wisdom out weighed our naivete. We thought that there was no way that we could capture Mount Rainier in the reflection of the lake at sunset because it was still frozen over. As we made our way around the lake we discovered a spot that yielded more than we could have ever thought possible.
Once the light faded at about 9:30pm, we walked out with our headlamps on, regularly yelling aloud, to wake up any sleeping black bears that we might sneak up on along the way. We began our day at about 10am and arrived back at Art’s house a 2am. A long day, but one we will surely remember for years to come.
