Thanks Ben, Jameel, Alan, Jim, Darcy and Douglas! Jim, thanks so much for the Daily Featured! This group of slackliners frequents Seneca Rocks, for obvious reasons. Me and a couple other photographers have been working with them looking for a chance to set up a moon shot of them. It didn't...

Seneca Rocks in West Virginia is an iconic cliff formation where fins of resistant sandstone layer jut several hundred feet vertically out of the hills below North Fork Mountain. Several billion pictures, by everyone from casual tourists to professionals, have been taken from its front, west...

Thanks, Ben, Alan, Bob and Jim! I agree that the lights on the ground are distracting, but they are part of the story. The New River Gorge is no pristine wilderness. It has a long history of mining and timbering, and active railroads still traverse both sides of the river for the entire length...

Thanks, Tom! Dave

Thanks, Jameel, Alisa and Jon! Dave
