Sometimes you are in the mood for pure color.

This was one of my most memorable accomplishments. Hiking the largest mountain in the lower 48. I've created a gallery of my photographic interpretation of this amazing peak.

If you'd like to see the photo documentary of the entire trip I've posted it on Flickr.

This is actually a study in simple photographic formalism. It's all texture, tone, composition and light. I loved how it all came together in one picture. It was taken in the city of Utrecht, in the Netherlands, while walking down a narrow corridor. I loved the double arches and the shadows they threw on the wall. Seeing it in black and white accentuated the texture in such a way that would not have been as apparent had it been in color.

As we came over the ridge a great expanse of distance opened up. Mountains receding in the distance for miles. A cloud bank listlessly drifting at the edge of the horizon. The air was warm with anticipation. The summit could be very near or we could have miles still to go. Trees pointed the way to the deep valley below.

I shot this portrait of my young niece in the style of the WPA (Works Progress Adminstration) of the 1920's. She is a very beautiful girl with these piercing blue eyes that I hoped to capture as a monochrome image. Sometimes a portrait says more about the photographer then the subject, and I think in this case it's true, as I was intending to depict a child of a different era. She is very quiet, very content and inquisitive, as I suppose all children usually are at this age.
