Sacred geometry and symmetry in nature are compositional elements that have influenced my vision since my earliest days.

The area has some of the largest and healthiest stands of Aspen anywhere and is a favorite location of mine in the fall. The understory in this particular grove will always stand out in my memory and remains a favorite in my collection.

Frosted Aspen
250 Limited Edition / 13 Artist Proof
Venturing into a winter gale with my large format view camera I was drawn to the sense of isolation and peace the obscured scenery provided. Nearby, Dawn and our two children made hot cocoa and played a game of UNO in our VW camper van. Even our Labrador opted for the warm camper! Getting the shot, especially with my choice of camera format, took a considerable amount of time and I was coated with snow very similarly to the aspen trees that I was shooting.

Snow Kissed
100 Limited Edition / 5 Artist Proof
This morning brought an unexpected transformation to the landscape. The leaves of autumn had just dropped and the scenery was reduced to browns and muted colors. With the arrival of snow I decided to head out onto a favorite local hike in the Vail area to visit some of my favorite aspen trees. Light can be elusive and this day brought such a unique quality it would seem impossible to replicate. Every branch, leaf and needle seemed to have been kissed by the snow.
Piney Aspen
100 Limited Edition / 5 Artist Proof
Contrast is a fundamental element in photography and examples in nature abound. While heading out of Vail on a very bumpy forest road leading into the Gore Range, I had plenty of time to admire my surroundings at the crawling speeds the road demanded. This was a particularly colorful year in Colorado and the tress seemed to glow from within on this particular evening. Once I framed this scene and viewed it through the camera I was immediately hooked, this was the shot I needed to capture!
