Before we ever speak about technique, location, or even subject matter, there are quieter questions that deserve to be asked. What does it mean to really see, not just to look, but to feel a place as it drifts through memory and emotion? Where does perception end and imagination begin?

A sense of mystery is a quality I strive to include in my imagery. In writing a rhetorical question provides interest and depth, in photography mystery is the rhetorical question. An unanswerable question is a powerful source of interest. Mystery in a photograph is the un-answerable question posed by some element or elements in the image. The answer to that question, however, is only what the imagination of the viewer suggests and then often only in a subliminal manner. more →

The foreground spires in the photo seem to point to two cloud-filled couloirs of the mid-ground Taléfre, and their angle is identical to the massive couloirs of the north wall of the Grandes Jorasses, further back. more →

Dario’s work reminds us that photography does not need to shout to be meaningful. Sometimes its greatest value lies in helping us listen more closely, to the landscape, to one another, and to ourselves. more →
Many moons ago I came up with a mantra that I use all the time - with or without a tripod - which is, "think like a herbivore". Probably obvious what it means - keep scanning 360 degrees for opportunities. Trudging down a path, oblivious to what's happening behind me, has [...]
Thank you very much Adam, I appreciate the comments! The rain was something that I just had to accept and lean into. I even got hail showers on top of Beinn Dearg despite it being early September!
