Wow, what a great year. 2011 flew by and as I look forward to new opportunities and adventures in the coming year it’s always helpful to take a minute to look back over the last year. These are my favorites from the past year, probably more for sentimental value than actual image quality but anyways here they are…










Shuffling through my images of this past year has become a great learning tool for me which I greatly look forward to. It puts things in perspective for me and allows me to set some new goals for the coming year based on my experience of the previous year. This past year I stuck fairly close to home, with the exception of a few Mexico trips, and had some great local adventures. I concentrated heavily on outdoor adventure images and my selection of the top images of the year represents that.

I’m excited to have the July/August cover of Southwest Fly Fishing magazine on stands now.

I have teamed up with Telluride Outside for some new photo tours in Telluride. We are offering half day and full day tours in the spectacular Telluride area. Teamed up with a 4X4 jeep and driver we will take clients to pre-scouted locations for the best landscape and nature shots in the area. I have done three tours over the past five days and each one has been very successful. The clients have had a broad range of photographic experience and we can tailor the trip to most anyone. For more info or to book a trip go to Telluride Outsides website at www.tellurideoutside.com.

I’m excited to have the Telluride Magazine cover for this summer. The shot was from a great hike in August of last summer up the rarely climbed East Sheep mountain.

I’m very excited to have an image in the new Patagonia Fly-Fishing catalog. Not only do I love there product, I have greatly admired the photography that graces there pages for many years.

Im very happy to have the February 2010 cover of Inside Outside Southwest magazine!
Drawing inspiration from Darwin Wigget’s blog I put together my top images from 2009. It was an amazing year, highlighted by my summer long solo sea kayaking trip around the Prince William Sound. I was surprised when I took a look at the 10 images I picked and noticed they are mostly landscape and nature images. I usually prefer adventure shots but I guess this year was a little different. I’m starting to put together some trips for the spring and summer and hope to have an even more adventurous year than 2009!

I’m very excited to have the new Sea Kayaker magazine cover that is on stands now. The photo is from a week long sea kayaking and fly fishing trip through Bahama’s Exuma Islands. The area is a tropical paradise perfect for kayaking and I would love to do another trip there!

I’m very happy to have the cover of the new Osprey catalog as well as 3 photos inside, love those packs!
