Well, spring has officially come early to Wyoming — about a month or two earlier than last year! The flowers on the prairies are blooming already, and spring rains are turning everything green again. It always amazes me how persistent life can be out on the harsh high plains around Wyoming. No matter how long, grueling, cold, and bitterly windy…
“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.” – The Buddha Siddharta The perigee super moon was on Saturday, and people in all places turned their heads to the sky and paid just a little bit more attention to our own moon that night. The moon looked bigger than normal,…
I’ve been pretty pre-occupied lately with life, so I thought I’d share a recent self-portrait to prove that I am still around! I recently defended my masters thesis in Geology this week, and in another few weeks I will have ample time and plan on taking the summer to explore, live, and photograph! The frogs…
I woke up to about 6 inches of fresh snow in Laramie (!) and decided to go on a long walk with my dog along the creek in town as the powder was falling. I’ll leave you with this poem to express my morning. Fresh snow can be so beautiful if you can overcome the warmth of…
A lot about Wyoming hasn’t changed over the years and there are still a lot of wild places where the antelope roam free. This particular image is from Dubois, Wyoming, nestled in the beautiful Wind River Valley. In particular there are a few lines below that seems to ring true for this photograph. I‘m sure a lot of…
There’s something alluring about large powerful amounts of water spilling over thousands of years of volcanic rocks made from the very volcano still currently sitting literally beneath your feet. The mist produced at the the base of the classic Lower Falls in Yellowstone was beautifully illuminated and required a telephoto lens to really be able to look…
I forgot just how beautiful Wyoming can be! This is a image from a sunset I had long forgotten about until stumbling back upon it today. Myself, a friend, and our dogs were camped out by Fontenelle Reservoir in South West Wyoming on the open plain while doing some field research in the area. This…
I love driving the long desolate stretches of road in Wyoming. They allow for so much time to think and to ponder the fact that years ago Native Americans roamed this land for hundreds of years before the first Western settlers ever even tried to cross this very same road. But they didn’t have a…
This photography may look like a nice pleasant sunset out on the plains of Laramie, Wyoming, but photographs don’t capture wind very well (at least not this one!). In Laramie, where the wind is always blowing, my walk across these plains just outside of town was through 40 mph winds that added a significant wind…
