For the Love of Winter - A Holiday Greeting!
For your December’s Holiday Season I offer a few of my favorite photographs, made at this time of the year, when the earth becomes quiet and our dependency on the web of life becomes more evident.
Whatever this season means to you, please know that the gift of your seeing my art and opening your heart to their import is the greatest gift I can receive.
Thank you and Happy Holidays!
Desert Holiday (2004) Route 66, on the road to Santa Fe
Snow and Cottonwoods, (1986) is a study of beauty, balance, and harmony. I made this exposure while my wife and two youg sons were huddled in the camper trying to stay warm.
January Snow (1998), a study of brillant snow and wet bark backed by towering granitic slabs of the high Sierra.
Nevhabe Ridge (1986) This image was made exploring McGee Canyon in the eastern sierras during the first snowfall of the year.
Goodbye to 2023, and ONWARD to 2024!
Coronado Trail, (1999) was first blazed in 1540 by Spanish explorer Francisco Vasquez de Coronado as he searched for the fabled “Seven Cities of Cibola.”
Tahoe Winter (1998) depicts a snow covered dock on the west side of the lake. This was a quiet day when the roads were closed due to the abundant snowfall.
Face of Half Dome (1998) Even though I have a policy against photographing in National Parks, this was one time that I couldn’t resist.
Teton Range (2023) I f there is a more spectacular mountain range in the country I haven’t seen it.
Fire Scar (2021) During my January retreat to the Mendocino Mountains after one of the many disastrous California fires in 2021, not a single living thing could be found along the south fork of the Trinity River: no birds, no fish, no deer, no plants, no trees, nothing.
After the Rain (1996) Captured this lone stand of trees high above St. Helena in California’s fabled Napa Valley wine country.
