Great Falls Sunset: Vision Doesn't End with the Click of the Shutter

The summer sun sets in glorious colors over Great Falls in Potomac, Maryland.

I’ve been contemplating the image-creation process this week, as I work on a series of images of Great Falls.  I thought I’d share some of my musings about the three essential steps to great image-making:

Step 1: Defining your vision [...]

More from the American Southwest: Utah

I’ve finally finished processing all my photos from my two-week Christmas-New Year’s road trip through the national and state parks of Southern Utah.  You might notice I’ve also been playing around with textures in some of the photos.  Fun!!!  My next fine art exhibits will be in April (Art League of Germantown’s “Shades of Spring” [...]

Utah Parks Road Trip, Day 13: Arches National Park, End-of-the-Road

Alas, this is our last morning in Utah before heading home to Washington, DC, so we definitely had to get up for the sunrise.  Of all the places we’ve seen around Moab, I must say that Turret Arch by the North and South Windows is my hands down favorite.  It’s where we started on [...]

Virgin River, snow-covered mountains in the background, Zion National Park, Utah

With yesterday’s AWESOME fiery Zion sunset, we were totally motivated to get up early this morning, hopeful for an incredible sunrise.  Alas, it was not to be.  It was already snowing when the alarm sounded at 6 AM.  We still rushed  to [...]

Utah Parks Road Trip, Day 7: Zion National Park

This has got to be my best photography day yet on this trip.  Remember I said a few days ago that I couldn’t imagine Zion being more spectacular than Bryce?  Well, today was absolutely incredible.  We went up the Weeping Rock trail, which was pretty icy.  At one point there was an ice landslide [...]
