Occasionally we all need reminders that photography is not only about equipment.

This morning, I received notice that I’ve “won” the photofriday challenge this week. Photofriday is a weekly competition with participants from across the globe. On Friday they release the theme word for the week, “mountain, cold,Read more

Off the Grid
I have broken free of the binding chains that are modern technology. Well, for a few days at least.

I can firmly say that it was one of the most stunning views I’ve ever witnessed. I’ll prepare and share many more photos throughout this week. Consider this a teaser – more to come!Read more
