Glen Burney Falls Trail

Blowing Rock is a special little mountain town in western North Carolina along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Thankfully it doesn’t get the traffic that Boone does because that would take away all of it’s charm. The Glen Burney Falls Trail starts just a few blocks off Main St. so you can get there from anywhere. Normally these easily accessible attractions are forgettable if not a total let down. Not this one. We were blown away. Granted the day we decided to hike, the forest put on special show with a thick layer of fog and mist that provided an eerie but beautiful vibe. Even without that, it’s still a beautiful trail winds gently through the woods providing great views of the waterfalls all along the way. It’s not a particularly hard hike either. In fact, it’s more of an aggressive walk than anything. so if you’re in Blowing Rock, add this short hike to the list. For only an hour or so of you’re time it provides a great mental checkout and check in with nature.

After you’re done, stop in to the Speckled Trout for lunch or dinner. They have great food and cocktails/beer. I really enjoyed the trout, grits, and collard greens. The vibe there is just great and helped along by a staff of waiters and bartenders than genuinely seem to enjoy their jobs.

If you’re visiting for a fly fishing trip, then definitely go to the Speckled Trout’s guide shop, which also has a bar in it!! I’ve been to a hell of a lot of mountain towns and lot of fly shops. Never once seen a fly shop with a bar. What a great little piece of America that you can only hope resists the massive commercialization that will inevitably be forced upon it in the future.

Montana Cowboys

Cowboy Photography - Big Sky Journal - Wall Art

Montana Cowboys Prints

Wyoming and Montana are parts of the world that have become synonymous with cowboys and the American West, and that didn’t happen by accident. I haven’t read any research to back this up, but it’d be a good bet to say there are more cattle in both of those states than there are humans. Which means those cows live in some of the prettiest country on planet earth. It’s been my good fortune to visit a number of historic cattle ranches in both states, and do they ever leave an impression. The OW Ranch in Montana in particular, really left it’s mark. The OW has been around since the late 1800’s. The famous Western photographer L.A. Huffman made a lot of photographs there in his day, one of which was hanging on the wall in the kitchen.

So grateful to be invited to these incredible properties and for the opportunity to document good people while they work. There are some handy cowboys in these photographs that were recently published in The Big Sky Journal (out of Bozeman, Montana). It’s always nice to have work show up in places where you know the viewers will appreciate it.

Lake George Landscape Wall Art

Adirondacks in the Fall - Prints

Feeling very grateful after spending the entire month of October in the Adirondacks, more specifically in Lake George, NY. And what a time it was to be there with the fall foliage in all it’s glory. After living in a place essentially without seasons (San Diego), it was refreshing to be around all that color. I did some shooting for a regional magazine which required a lot of hiking around the lake up Pilot Knob Trail, Black Mountain Trail, and Cat Mountain Trail. The main focus was to shoot hiking, but of course the surroundings were so inspiring that I had to make some landscape photographs along the way. Can you call these landscapes?? I suppose they are more abstract nature photographs.

Contact me directly about Lake George wall art. All of my images are available as prints in varying sizes for your home, office, or commercial space.

Basketball Prints

It’s not about size!!

Just added a new limited edition set of basketball prints to my web store. Instead of going bigger, this is a smaller more intimate batch of prints at 5”x7” in a set of 10 in a limited edition of 25. The thing I’m most excited by though, is this is all new work that was not published in the American Backcourts book! Thank you so much to everyone that bought a book or print during the Thanksgiving sale.

PRINTS AVAILABLE

In the past selling prints hasn’t been a huge part of my business, but the requests have certainly started to grow. Unfortunately, I’ve never had a feature on my website in place that allows people to just hop on and order whatever image/size/medium they please, which really hindered the process. So I’m very happy to announce that this feature is now available. Just go to the link below and you can choose from any image listed and order just about any size print, canvas, metal, or wood print that you’d like. And if there is a specific image you’d like that isn’t listed, just reach out to me directly and I’ll get it up there for you.
