When we buy art, its usually a piece that caught our eye or one that changed our state. Art can take us away from the present moment and instantly change our mood from the mundane moment to bliss, calm, or even one of melancholy. The subtle softness of this image provokes a sense of calm and peace and it’s not demanding of the viewer’s attention, yet its uniqueness captures our attention. Be sure to view this image in the "Sampled" section. There you'll see how beautiful this image is hanging in a room.
Exploring, discovering what’s around the corner and challenging my boundaries (within reason), are where I find happiness. Traveling in my RV and towing a Jeep to unique destinations hasn’t always easy but capturing shots like this one makes it all worth it! When time flies, I know that I’m in my flow and I’m in my element. Behind my camera is where I find happiness, fulfillment and (importantly), connection with all of you. Helmcken Falls is a 141 m (463 ft) waterfall on the Murtle River, within Wells Gray Provincial Park, in British Columbia, Canada. It’s one of six falls on the Murtle River and the fourth tallest in Canada. Wells Gray Provincial Park has something to offer every outdoor enthusiast. It’s lush alpine meadows are excellent for birding and wildlife. There are many hiking trails for every ability. Camping, boating, canoeing and kayaking on Clearwater Lake is a must! Businesses in the area also offer horseback riding, canoeing, river-rafting, fishing and hiking. Although my visit here was short, I look forward to going back and even getting some winter shots of the area too.
"Death Valley View" - CLICK TO SEE ENTIRE IMAGE. Hmmm, really…. seriously! The wet and windy weather seems to be following me! I’m now in Death Valley and although the weather has been challenging, I did manage to dodge the rain. and get some awesome shots. Honestly though, I love the varied weather because it adds unique lighting, clouds and contrast to my images, like this one. The weather was clinging to the mountains all around me and although it was 17 degrees where I stood, it was snowing along the mountain tops. It was SO windy though, that when I dropped my lens-cap it (in seconds), blew over a ledge. A fine young man from Vancouver Island however was kind enough to retrieve it for me (in flipflops!)…. sheesh! I had visited this location before and although it was only in passing I did manage to get a really unique shot here (visit: ). I decided to camp nearby and planned to be back there for sunrise but (you guessed it), by morning it was raining… yet again! Suddenly though, the sun appeared so I hurriedly got dressed, packed up the RV and drove the the 5 minutes to get there.... AND, Yup, you guessed it (again) the sunlight was gone, oh darn! Okay, so now what to do? I decided to stay in the parking lot, have breakfast and do some editing while I hoped the sun would peak through again. Low and behold, the sun came out just long enough to get a shot! This image is a 4 image panoramic stack; meaning that I’ve stitched 4 images together (in photoshop). As a result, the file is huge and worthy of a monstrous (lol) enlargement. Patience and perseverance paid off.
