As a photographer, I look at the world differently, see things in a different light. Through the magic of the camera, I am able to capture what I see and how I see it, and to share with the world that vision through my photographs.

This winter, the starkness of the sometimes fogged-in, sometimes painfully brilliant Mount Ashland provided me with the raw materials to create some of the most beautiful and thought-provoking photographs of nature I have ever made.

The confluence of the Cascades and Siskiyous, a unique combination of geology, biology, climate, and topography, afforded me more grandeur than the panoramic vistas of the Great Plains, and more majesty than the Rockies illuminated by the morning light.

Constant flux atop the range causes, at one minute, earth and sky to meld seamlessly together, giving trees and rocks a surrealistic disconnection from anything solid. Moments later, winds of change yield a hair’s breadth of separation between land and air, imparting a grounded feeling, much more poignant by comparison, to that which merely the blink of an eye before, seemed to exist only in imagination.

I am excited to share my treks into the fringes of this grand wilderness, and I hope you enjoy the images I have brought “Down from the Mountain”.
