Updates from Yellowstone and Death Valley ❄️ 🐺 🏜️ 🌼

Hello Reader, We hope you're enjoying the winter season and finding opportunities to capture its beauty through your lens. Currently, we're in Colorado, eagerly preparing for an upcoming journey to Death Valley. Our last visit in December left us awestruck, as the park's landscape was dramatically altered by historic floods in August. The floods revived Lake Manly in Badwater Basin, a rare sight that has yet to evaporate. On our explorations, we discovered unique salt formations, sculpted by...

Hello Reader, As the vibrant hues of fall sweep across the land, we hope your hearts and SD cards are both filling up with memories and mesmerizing captures. As we wind down from a season of workshops and conferences, there's an undeniable energy buzzing around here (or is that exhaustion? 🀣). Fresh off an immersive session at Yellowstone, we're still awestruck by the myriad of intimate landscapes our group managed to create. The fascinating play of light, shadow, and the autumnal palette...

Hello Reader, We hope your summer is in full swing with adventures and photography, and we hope those of you experiencing sweltering heat are finding ways to stay cool. We just returned from an extended trip to Grand Teton and Yellowstone for a night photography workshop followed by a workshop in Crested Butte, Colorado. We decided to stay local this summer and explore our home state and all the beauty it encompasses. I've been exploring Crested Butte since 2002, and David has also been...

Hello Reader, We hope you're enjoying spring despite the unpredictable weather! Jennifer and I have mostly been laying low for the past month. Jennifer briefly visited Phoenix for the Out of Desert Botanic Conference as part of the Out of Chicago team, which sounded incredibly fun. I stayed back in San Diego with the cats, got in some hiking, and photographed sand patterns. Meanwhile, I've been busy making massive improvements to the Nature Photographers Network while Jennifer has been...

Hello Reader, We are excited to share updates and photos from Death Valley National Park, where we have led several workshops over the past few weeks.

January Updates

Hello Reader, Happy New Year! We hope you had a wonderful holiday and are excited to dive back into photography. It has been a while since we sent out an update, so a lot has happened. After we last talked, we went to southern Colorado, leading a fall colors workshop. We had spectacular conditions and wish we could have stayed longer. Our trip was shorter than usual because we had to drive up to the Oregon coast to teach at two Out of Oregon conferences. It was great to get back to this part...

We just finished teaching our Yellowstone night photography workshop and had a great group! Despite having clouds a few nights, we encountered some dynamic weather conditions, including photographing a lightning storm over an erupting Old Faithful.

Hello everyone! We hope this newsletter finds you enjoying what the long summer days have to offer and that you've been able to get out and photograph the fruits of summer. Since our last newsletter, we've had a few adventures and downtime at home. The start of June saw us spending time at home working on business items and projects. I've still been working on my 365 project and hope to have that up to date on my website soon. David has been hard at work on exciting new endeavors over on NPN...
