Wow, I have had quite a journey in the last couple of months! I'm writing from a shady parking spot on the waterfront in Brooklyn. Last night I came down to shoot the city from some classic spots along the East River including the Brooklyn Bridge. Unfortunately, my image of the bridge will have to wait as the city is in the middle of what looks like a significant restoration project. The bridge is masked with tarps and scaffold which is not what I'm looking for in this iconic image!

| Lower Manhattan |
Once I had investigated the area thoroughly I decided my best opportunity lie with the lower Manhattan skyline which is gorgeous at night regardless of conditions! This shot was set at iso 100, exposed 30 seconds at f/8. No filters and I used the daylight kelvin temperature for my white balance of 5000k. The 4x5 image I made will be a slightly wider angle and cropped to a panoramic. I shot Velvia 50 with an exposure of 30 seconds f/8. Stayed right here in Brooklyn and this mountain man is heading into the jungles of NYC this morning!

Frosted Aspen- Caribou/ Targhee N.F. Idaho
I have traveled through 16 of our beautiful states in the last two months shooting a huge variety of subjects. New images range from a wonderfully snowy landscape in the mountains North of SLC in Idaho's Caribou/ Targhee N.F. A snow covered fairyland in Zion National Park with waterfalls rushing over the sandstone cliffs!

Solitude- Zion National Park- April 2011
Zion was spectacular as always and I came home with some unique images of this beautiful park. Our SW travels took us to many locations many of which were new to me. Traveling in our '87 Westphalia camper for the first time in almost 4 years was an absolute dream. The entire family lived comfortably in the 35 s.f. camper while accessing remote backcountry locations in style! I love the outdoors, but a few creature comforts over the course of a 4 week trip is always appreciated!
