Wyoming Landscape Photography
From Yellowstone National Park, to the Grand Tetons of Jackson, Wyoming, this region has provided me with many photographic opportunities. Cowboys & cowgirls saddle up, and enjoy the ride.

"Road to the Tetons" ~ These days silence means so much more to me. A chance to reflect, a chance to be and still, and a chance to remember what was. What was, was you! What is now, is me! Find me amidst the mountains, for now, or just leave me be. (Highway 26 Wyoming)
"Orange Haze" ~ There's so much beauty in the distressed as well! Smokey skies surround the Tetons, as the western half of Canada and US burn. We're all so stressed about daily life and the trivial things that pursue us, that sometimes we forget that in just a split second, it can all be taken away. (Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming)
"Transfiguration" ~ Transfiguration means a complete change of form or appearance into a more beautiful or spiritual state. I love what I did with this photo to bring out the greens. It has a very old world feel to it. (Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming)
"Dusk in the Tetons" ~ If you want something bad enough, you'll find a way to do it. If you don't then you won't. Only you get to decided what kind of life you eventually choose to live. (Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming)
"Snake River" ~ The Snake River winds it way 1,078 miles diverging with the Columbia river and eventually emptying its contents into the Pacific Ocean. This capture represents a minuscule portion of the river as it flows southward past the Teton Mountain Range. (Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming)
"The Lone Traveler" ~ This unconventional lifestyle that I've chosen hasn't been an easy one, and at times I feel the excruciating pangs of those choices. Choices I know I had to make, choices that have allowed me to grow in ways I wouldn't have, had I remained where I was at. (Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming)
"Open Roads" ~ I look back at my past which seems like a lifetime ago. Some of those memories etched deeply beneath my skin. Somedays I wish I could relive those moments, while others I know they belong exactly where I left them. (Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming)
"T.A. Moulton Barn" ~ The T.A. Moulton barn is one of the most captured shots in Grand Teton National Park. If you know me well enough, you know I'm always going against the grain and the thought of taking a photograph that everyone else already had, didn't sound too appealing. Nonetheless, I put aside that though and began to shoot. (Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming)
"Dash Of Light" ~ Love is gonna find a way back to you. (Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming)
"Pilot Peak" ~ Pilot Peak rises high into the sky, as Index Peak looks on from below. As I traveled from east to west on the Beartooth Highway, I had no idea that this view awaited me. (US Route 212 Beartooth Highway, Wyoming)
"Elevation 10,947" ~ Up here, the world seizes to exist. (US Highway 212 Beartooth Highway, Wyoming)
"Hibernation Season" ~ In a world full of go/go/go, I always decide to take it slow/slow/slow once winter comes along. (Highway 26, Wyoming)
"Sunrise Prismatic" ~ I feel like a better capture awaits me, but I'm pretty happy with how this early morning sunrise over Grand Prismatic played out. (Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming)
"Snowcone" ~Winding my way through Yellowstone National Park in early April, I peeped this amazing view of a broken stump, the Madison River, and a silicone shaped hill towering over each. This would turn out to be my favorite capture of the day, later to be named "Snow Cone." (Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming)
"Silence and Reflection" ~ Deep in the forest, my thoughts teeter between wanting to disappear off the face of the planet and continuing to share the small wins that I attain in life. (Specimen Creek, Montana)
"Turbulent Waters" ~ When we compare life to a river, we can see a lot of similarities. Sometimes it's turbulent, other times it's still. It winds and bends cutting its way through everything and its path. There's no sense in stopping it, because water will always find a way. (Firehole Canyon / Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming)
"Moody Yellowstone" ~ I made the two hour drive to Yellowstone National Park at 4:30 AM, hoping for a colorful sunrise. Instead I was greeted with darkness. All gloomy and moody, the first day of Autumn had made her appearance. (Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming)
"Breathing Earth" ~ Scouring Yellowstone for life, all you need to do is look beneath your feet. (Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming)
"Lone Bison" ~ A lone bison feeds, as Yellowstone National Park awakes from her sleepy slumber. (Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming)
"Grand Canyon of Yellowstone" ~ I'm honored to have sold a framed print of this piece to a man who had sent his brother's ashes over the falls in an urn. What is it about my captures that draw people in? (Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming)
"Grazing Bison" ~ This lone bison pooped and grazed, as I watched safely from the comforts of my truck. Each day I spend in Yellowstone Park provides a different experience, with each experience always providing a lasting memory. (Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming)
"Under the Boardwalk" ~ There's a boardwalk in Wyoming, that sits along the Madison River. Sun shining brightly, the birds chirp while water rushes by. I remember a boardwalk in New Jersey, that sits along the Atlantic Ocean. I remember a girl, I think we kissed, or maybe we didn't. It's been so long! Two boardwalks separated by thousands of miles, under one sky, that embraces so many memories. (Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming)
"Lone Bison Duex" ~ Another lone bison, feeding on an early spring day. Are they like humans? Do they teeter between wanting to be around other bison, while also spending time on their own? (Yellowstone National Park)
"Mount Haynes" ~ Mount Haynes stands 8,218 feet above the Madison River in Yellowstone National Park. The peak was named in honor ofFrank Jay Haynes, the first official photographer of the park. How synchronistic! (Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming)
"Road to the Tetons" Black & White ~ These days silence means so much more to me. A chance to reflect, a chance to be and still, and a chance to remember what was. What was, was you! What is now, is me! Find me amidst the mountains, for now, or just leave me be. (Highway 26 Wyoming)
