I recently had the great pleasure of speaking with Alister Benn of Available Light Images. I’ve enjoyed reading Alister’s insightful blog for some time now and was very excited to be his first podcast guest. If interested, you may listen to our conversation here.
In this installment of my interview series with creative photographers, I posed some questions to my good friend and photographer Michael Gordon. By way of a disclaimer, Michael and I have been friends for well over a decade. We shared many miles on the trails, many campfire conversations and many memorable experiences in the wild. [...]
This is the first in a series of interviews with photographers I consider creative and innovative. Those who followed this blog for a while know that I am committed to making the case for photography as a fine art. To that end, I seek out those who dare to defy convention and to chart their [...]
I spent the last couple of days enjoying Michael Frye’s new eBook: Light & Land. I was first introduced to Michael’s work well over a decade ago. At the time I was fascinated by his exquisite night photography and creative use of light painting, long before such techniques became mainstream. Though I never had the [...]
Few things are as humbling as the kindness of strangers. It never ceases to amaze me how people of similar minds seem to gravitate towards each other.

Nature photography is one of those odd pursuits that draw people who are primarily motivated by passion rather than [...]
My friend Edie Howe is looking for supporters for her upcoming project documenting California’s fascinating ancient Bristlecone Pine forest in a fine art photo eBook. For those interested, Edie produced a short video describing the project.
As it turned out, I underestimated the interest in the Photo Essay Contest and, consequently, needed a couple of extra days to give all entries their due attention. To my delight, the images and essays submitted were spectacular and I would first like to thank everyone who took the time to share a piece of [...]
Ansel Adams is one of my greatest inspirations. And, though it may amount to sacrilege, I must confess: it is not because of his photographs. Having come to creative photography in my own way and with little reference to other photographers’ work along the path, I was exposed to the color work of modern photographers [...]
As the topic relates to my own recent musings, I wanted to recommend a couple of blog posts from fellow photographers offering different and interesting perspectives: Paul Grecian wrote: If a Painting Falls in the Woods… and Carl Donohue followed with: The art of nature Great reading and brain-starters for the day. Thanks to both! [...]
