Nantucket

Some images from a pleasant trip to Nantucket back in July.  I had originally planned to rent a plane and island hop from Long Island (via Matha’s Vineyard) but the forecast called for a fair amount of sea mist over the sound, and as I’m not IFR-certified I decided to play it safe and took [...]

STS-135

Last summer I promised myself to photograph the final space shuttle launch.  Not only was it to be a historic event, and the last of its kind, but I can probably generalize here and say that every kid born under the influence of gravity will do whatever it takes to watch stuff shoot into the [...]

Salt Wash

Went canyoneering with some friends over the weekend, but we got shut down early by a rainstorm which made a nice backdrop for our Subaru enabled escape:

Jet-Lag Office Day

Phew!  Just got back last night from a commercial shoot in France & Switzerland (as well as spending a couple weeks of personal time in Norway, Paris, Andermatt, & Como), which was just the first of three stages on as many continents.  I fly out again Monday morning for stage 2 in Oregon, then stage [...]

Rock Canyon overlook

Europe 2009

Here’s a handful of photos from this summer’s trip to Norway & rail trip through Europe.  Enjoy!

Spiral Jetty

Travelled out to the Great Salt Lake last weekend to see Robert Smithson’s ‘Spiral Jetty’.  Being my first visit (not counting the times I’ve flown over it), it was only natural that I first see it and photograph it at night.  That is, I seem to have a penchant for first visiting landmark locations while at [...]
