Nine Days in Grand Teton & Yellowstone National Parks

The trip started at 3:30am on day 1 when the alarm went off. Get up get a quick shower and on the road to BWI by 4 for a 7:30 flight. The plan was that the group from all over the states would meet at the Jackson Hole airport by 2pm. This would give us the time to get checked into our hotel and still get in a sunset shoot. As luck would have it many had travel delays and the last of us didn’t arrive until 4pm. With sunset around 5:15 Dennis our leader gave us the choice of check-in to our hotel or go critter hunting till sunset and check in later. The choice was unanimous, Critter Hunting! So although most of us had never met each other we quickly figured out the seating arrangement in the 3 cars and off we went. Less than 5 miles from the airport we found our first Critter, a moose munching its way across the landscape in the beautiful late afternoon sun. This would be our week, photography, eat, late night hot chocolate and a great time with a group of people I never met before.

Tales from The Grand Tetons

Evening 1 - Thursday the 16th

That first shoot although short allowed me to start the trip off with some great images

A moose munching it’s way through the brush in the late afternoon sun

A small herd of deer with little fear of our group and out big lens

Crazy light looking towards the Tetons in the distance

A cabin with the base of the Tetons in the background

A beautiful bull elk with an impressive rack. It was really getting too dark to get a good noise free detailed photos but that rack and he looked directly in my direction, I had to take the shot!

A moose down over the hill in the distance walking along during blue hour.

Through My Lens: Iceland

About the Show

My first trip to Iceland was in November of 2017 and I immediately fell in love with the country and its epic and otherworldly landscapes. It's a landscape photographer's dream. Since then I’ve been back 5 times exploring new areas on each trip. Around every corner you will find another amazing view be it a waterfall, glacier, black sand beach, thermal pool, ice cave or an active volcano. The variety is endless. In my show Through My Lens: Iceland I am sharing some of my favorite photos from those trips; my hope is that you appreciate the rugged beauty and be inspired to perhaps plan your own trip to the Land of Fire and Ice!
