Energizing Movement

Photograph of Ten Mile Stream in Kings Canyon National ParkA slow shutter speed can suggest the flow of water by blurring the movement. A fast shutter can capture the energy of a single moment in the flow of water. This photograph was shot at 1/500th of a second. It is a detail of a small stream in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California.

Flowing Water

Photograph of the Kings River in Kings Canyon National ParkWater in motion appeals to the senses and to the spirit. Water soothes, satisfies and energizes. Simple and elemental, water attracts us. Lakes, rivers, streams and, especially, waterfalls lead us to a meditative state. I will post photographs of water in motion over the next few weeks. This first post is a detail of the Kings River in Cedar Grove in Kings Canyon National Park.

Future Cutting Horses

Photograph of  horses in southeastern WashingtonCutting horses are trained to keep a single cow from returning to the herd after the horse and rider have separated it out. In competitions, both horse and rider are judged on their ability to separate a single cow and keep it away from the herd for a short period of time. Cutting horses are athletic animals.

Horses In The Palouse

Photograph of 2 horses and riders in southeastern WashingtonOne of the experiences from shooting in the Palouse was the opportunity to visit a working ranch and meet cowboys and cowgirls going about their business. This moment came at the end of rounding up a herd of cattle and driving them into a pen to be delivered later to a neighbor.
