Cassiar Highway


This 874 km (543 mi) stretch of road is one of the most amazing drives anyone will ever do. It compares to Yellowstone in the amount of wild life you'll see (14 bears, 3 caribou, 1 wolf) and it compares to the drive thru the Colorado Rockies and there amazing mountains. This place makes me want to get a motorcycle.


I meet some guys jumping off their VW Bus into this hot spring fed lake. Part of my job as a Adventure Photographer is to convince friends to do crazy stuff. I arrived as the last one was jumping but convinced all four to jump again. All you have to do is swing around a big camera.

A Rock Climbers Paradise


Squamish, BC

This was shot at dusk, it looks more like a painting then a photo. Nothing but a little contrast and Saturation in Camera Raw.

The number one thing you can do to improve your photography is to get your flash OFF camera!






These are some friends I made while camping last night in Squamish.

Park Creek, Mt Baker National Forest


Park Creek, Mt Baker National Forest

Mosquito's!!! I may have West Nile.

This was taken 15 feet from my campsite. Snow melt turns this Creek in to a river.
This was a 20 second exposure.


Mt Olympus from Hurricane Ridge, Olympic NP


The view of Mt Olympus from Hurricane Ridge, Olympic National Park.

Driving up 5000 feet is the only way you can see the mountain rage in Olympic NP.

Olympic National Park



Here are a few photos from Olympic National Park.

The first is of Hoh Rain Forest. I used HDR (High Dynamic Range) to create a fantasy like image. HDR is a combination of many different exposures of the same photo combined so you can see details in the highlights and the shadows. I'll explain in more detail when I'm not on the road.

Mt Hood and Mt St Helens




I've been told by many people that I need to ad more photos, so here you go.

The first shot was taken of Mt Hood along some random road I found on the north side of the Mt. A pretty nice back yard I'd say.

The second was taken at Lost Lake, a fantastic place to hike, fish, canoe, and camp. Next time I drive by I'll be sure to stay the night.

The third is of Mt St Helen's the volcano that erupted in 1980.

I tried to drive to Mt Rainer but the signs said that "FR 90" was blocked becouse of snow.

My car is hot and I've been stealing this internet for far to long.

Crater Lake


Crater Lake National Park, OR.

This is my new favorite National Park. Point a camera at it and underexpose a stop and you've just made a fine art photograph. This particular shot was made up of 9 vertical shots stitched together to make one large panorama.
