After we left the quaint village of Baracoa we drove along the coast and came across this sweet little bay of turquoise water surrounded by palm trees and wilderness. I couldn’t resist taking a photograph of this area where Niki says she wants to retire…looks like paradise to her!

Our time in the Badlands lasted only twenty-four hours, but those hours were a genuinely glorious experience! A violent storm swept through the area, bringing about an ever-changing sky. I seized the opportunity to capture the mesmerizing interplay of sunlight dancing across the landscape as the sun peeked in and out of the dark storm clouds. Miles of wind-blown prairie grass added captivating textures to the foreground. In the distance, sculptural buttes, pinnacles, and spires emerged, looking like miniature castles.

We visited Yellowstone National Park in the fall, just as the aspen trees had turned yellow. Upon seeing them, I knew they would make a stunning black-and-white subject, so I searched for a location with the perfect composition. When I found it, the wind was too strong. The following morning, it was foggy and better conditions for a photograph. I jumped out of bed, grabbed my camera, and returned to the stand of trees with Niki. I captured this image just before the fog dissipated.

Florida’s geological history has seen most of its land submerged underwater. A unique topographical feature, the Lake Wales Ridge in the central part of the state, has stood above sea level for over a million years. I had longed to photograph this area.
On the day I arrived, dark skies rolled in, and the wind howled, adding drama to the scene. Without hesitating, I jumped out of the jeep and quickly set up my camera. Fearing the storm would unleash heavy rains, I was grateful to capture this shot shortly before the first raindrops began to fall.

Discovering the Apalachicola River led me to some of the most beautiful country I had seen since first discovering the Big Cypress National Preserve. It was reassuring to see another place in Florida where the environment remained largely untouched.
The river originates north of Atlanta and flows through Georgia as the Chattahoochee River, then becomes the Apalachicola River upon crossing Florida’s panhandle. Concerns about rapid growth, pollution from Georgia, and alteration of the river’s course were, and still are, at the forefront for those living and working there.

The captivating shape of these wind-blown trees demanded to be photographed! The way their form and texture contrasted with the dark background was amazing. It reminded me of the cypress trees along the Pacific coast and made me yearn for the California shore.

I had an urge to photograph, but the weather wasn’t cooperating. It was either sunny and windy, or overcast and windy. I decided I needed to go, and so we went in search of something to photograph. As we drove along Tamiami Trail we could see beautiful clouds forming in the east, so we headed in that direction. When we came to Airport Road, we headed down it and found some wonderful dwarf cypress trees with rolling clouds behind them. Just what I was looking for! Niki and I spent the afternoon photographing as the clouds rolled across South Florida.

The era of art that resonates with me the most is the Hudson River School period. I have always been fascinated by artwork that depicts idyllic natural settings. As a photographer, I have often struggled to find landscapes untouched by man. I found this charming waterfall with the help of the Columbia Land Conservancy Trust in Chatham, New York. I love this photograph because it reminds me of the essence of the Hudson River School landscape painters.

Nestled along the rocky coast of Maine, this gem of an island boasts gentle green rolling landscapes and a dramatic rugged coastline. My wanderings led me to discover a narrow trail leading into the woods and eventually to a cliff overlooking the coast. I had to carefully place my 11”x 14” view camera at the cliff’s edge to get the perspective I wanted. Positioning my camera so close to the edge posed a challenge as it made accessing the front of my camera and working with the lens tricky.
After publishing this image, I received an invitation from the Friends of Acadia to return and take more pictures of the area. In 2008, I revisited the park and expanded my collection of photos. This endeavor aimed to create an exhibit and a book to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service and marked the beginning of my journey to photograph as many parks as possible before the 2016 anniversary celebration.
