An overlooked shot from a trip to the eastern Sierra Nevada in March of 2006. Snow prevented me from going higher in elevation, but a telephoto zoom brought this peak in close. There was so little color in the scene that I thought it looked better in black and white.

A Look Back—Bridalveil Fall
A detail of the mist and spray generated by Bridalveil Fall. When the waterfall is flowing at its peak in the spring of a wet year, it is nearly impossible to reach the base of the fall without getting soaked.

A Look Back—Yosemite Waterfalls
I am sure many millions of photos have been taken from this very same viewpoint, but this was my first trip to Yosemite in the spring. I was amazed by the volume of water going over the falls. May 23, 2006.

A Look Back—Kings Canyon Solarized
This was shot with a telephoto lens from an overlook above Kings Canyon in Kings Canyon National Park. It was a very hazy morning and not all appealing. The haze, however, did show the multiple layers of the separate ridges stretching away into the distance. I converted this shot with a solarizing filter to emphasize the layers. October, 20, 2005.

A Look Back—Sierra Butterfly
Another one of my personal favorite photographs. This was taken in an area of the Sierra Nevada mountains where I have camped for many years. This was taken near one of my favorite swimming areas along Ten Mile stream. July, 2005.

A Look Back—Strawberry Field Sunrise
This is one of my favorite shots. The sun is rising behind the Gabilan Range and is reflected from plastic covering the rows where strawberries will be planted. Taken with the 24-120mm lens near Russell Road, Salinas, California, November, 2004.

New Mexico—Descending From Los Alamos
Descending in elevation from Los Alamos, New Mexico, we stopped at this pullout on the highway. Another day of light and shadow, clouds and sweeping vistas. New Mexico, indeed, is the “Land of Enchantment.”
