I’ve uploaded several new photos to the Latest Work gallery, all shot in October 2010. The majority were shot in the Northwoods of Wisconsin, but a few were shot in Pewit’s Nest in Wisconsin’s Baraboo Hills. As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts & feelings, so please feel free to leave comments below! –…
Got to meet Tom Mangelsen at a book signing / artist event at his gallery in Galena tonight! In addition to being a business and artistic inspiration, he’s a really nice guy… thoughtfully moved his glass of wine off the table when a little girl wanted her pic taken with him, and was graciously looking…
On my recent all-too-short trip north I stopped to visit the aspen clonal colony shown below. I need to enjoy this image, because it will be impossible to make another like it there – most of the colony has been cut, leaving only a thin strip through which I could see the bulldozers and bare…
Here’s the October wallpaper, a couple of days early rather than late this time! This is a sunrise image from Cave Point park in Door County, Wisconsin, taken 2 years ago. Lake Michigan’s water level was especially low that year, exposing the rugged, dramatically eroded rock you see here. I had the place to myself…
Good news for landscape photographers everywhere! Joseph Rossbach and Ian Plant have released great new ebooks in their ongoing series of instructional books on landscape photography. Guy Tal has joined in the fun with his first ebook, which I hope will be the start of a series from him! Joseph Rossbach’s “10 Tips for Amazing…
I’m doing wallpaper instead of a calendar again this month – if you’d prefer the calendar format, let me know in the comments below! As usual, it’s in two image sizes, one wider than the other. I’m in an autumn mood, so this month’s photo is of a crisp September morning on San Domingo Lake…
My ideal way of being in the world is best expressed by the Navajo concept of Beauty, or hozho, which encompasses beauty, order, balance, peace, and harmony. This is the most beautiful expression of hozho I’ve found: Navajo Blessing Way Prayer Today I will walk out, today everything evil will leave me, I will be…
I’ve seen some photographers criticize Thomas Mangelsen as being “too commercial,” but personally as a photographer I enjoy his work while as a business person / entrepreneur I admire his business success. I’ve been to his Images of Nature galleries in Jackson Hole, WY and, closer to home, Galena, IL, and I must say his…
Joseph Rossbach, Ian Plant, and William Neill have all recently released terrific ebooks featuring landscape photography. Each has a different focus, but all are lavishly and beautifully illustrated with the authors’ own photographs, and all are worthwhile additions to your electronic bookshelf. And they’re all a steal, priced at only $5-$10! Rossbach’s “Crafting Compelling Compositions”…
And now for something completely slightly different! Since we’re already halfway through August, a calendar isn’t likely to be of much use – so for August 2010 I’ll just make this month’s image desktop wallpaper and skip the calendar bit. It’s still in two image sizes, one wider than the other. This month’s photo is…
