The ResurrectionA personally important image for me. This was my first trip back shooting with friend and mentor Ryan Dyar after months of recovery from cancer. I wasn't sure I would ever make another photograph, so I'm very grateful for the opportunity

The name is confusing I'm sure

A special trip with Ryan Dyar culminates with a beautiful sunrise on the Alvord playa of Oregon

A wonderful little bend in a small river under sunrise light

this remains one of the best sunsets I've ever witnessed

Mud cracks reflect afternoon light on a dried playa in Colorado

High alpine wildflowers abound during the summer months in the Oregon Cascades

As the last bit of twilight settled over the Lofoten Islands

A lava outbreak at the ocean entry of Kilauea on Hawaii pierces the pre-dawn sky

He holds me hostage with it to this day

B√°r√∞arbunga erupting in the distance with the aurora dancing overhead made for a surreal and totally Icelandic scene

I raced to find a composition and fired the camera as quickly as possible in an attempt to capture a lightning bolt

shooting totally blind
