Deadly Hunter

When you look at this photo, what’s your first thought? For me this picture shows the unleashed and raw power of the snowy owl. The extremely focused eyes and the last adjustments the snowy owl is doing shows how efficient and skillful the owl is. The prey has very bad odds of escaping the owl, […]

Alkaline Flats

When you look at this photo, what’s your first thought? When I look at the image, my first thought is the power of this dark barren environment that draws you into the light.

I think it mostly turns into a drinking competition, but that’s another story. It’s in the middle of nowhere, so I brought my camera gear with the intention of doing some astrophotography. We’d been […]
