Backpacking - Wind River Range

Backpacking - Wind River Range - Wyoming

Titcomb Basin

Wyoming sucks. Tell everybody.

For as long as we’ve been going to Jackson, Pinedale has never been anything more than a brewery stop after the 6 hour drive from Denver. That’s all changed now though, after our first experience in the Wind River Range. I’ve always said that you will not find more beautiful mountains than the Tetons. And while I don’t think you can compare the two, Wind River certainly gives them a run. Once you get deep into the range, it feels more like you’re in the Alps than anywhere in the USA. Without hesitation I don’t mind saying it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve been in America. Best part is, you have to work for it, which keeps all the morons away. The images you see here are from a 32+/- mile round trip hike we did last month to Seneca Lake and Titcomb Basin. I’ll certainly be returning to this place as well as the Pinedale area for some more fly fishing on the Green River.

American Motels

American Motels - Road Trip Photography

Apparently my fascination with small town motels continues? Not sure what that is. Perhaps it’s because I’ve stayed in so many during all my time on the road, but they fit nicely into my America series either way.

Street Photography - San Francisco

San Francisco Photo Gallery

After college my mother lived in San Francisco for a few years and she still talks about her time there with a lot of fondness. Maybe that’s where my original fascination for the city came from? Don’t know. Although it’s really not a hard sell. Consider myself lucky to have spent some time there with my mother as well as numerous other trips over the years. And with each subsequent visit, my opinion strengthens that it’s one of the great cities of the world. Not just in the USA, but the world. These images certainly aren’t meant to sum up San Francisco as a city. Was more just stating my feelings. A few weeks ago I was up there for a commercial shoot, which was really great, but I always try to make time for personal shooting as well. It’s a fun and relaxing way to learn more about the place you’re in.

Street Photography - San Diego

Just heard that Gov. Newsom is shutting down the majority of indoor operations for California again, so the strange times continue! Can’t say it’s a surprise. Walking around here feels just like a normal summer with tourists anywhere and everywhere. Just when things felt like they were getting better. I have (as of now) quite a few commercial shoots on the horizon, but who knows how far this will push them back? One thing that hasn’t changed is my street photography. If nothing else, the shutdowns have given me the opportunity to explore neighboring towns with the camera to continue this series. All of the images below were made in Cardiff by the Sea.
