Living in Bishop, I'm close to a lot of cool stuff. This is the Trona Pinnacles, a collection of tufa towers on the south side of Death Valley National Park near the stinky town of Trona. At one time in the past, this part of Searles Valley was under as much as 700 feet of water. These days, the...

This was taken while I was on a hike along the Savage River in Denali National Park, AK last September. I'd never been able to get this close to a squirrel before; perhaps the squirrel was just used to people? For this shot I used the 100-300mm lens.

This sunrise shot was taken in the Alabama Hills during Presidents Day weekend this year. All of the other photographers had set up shop at Arch Rock, so I wandered around looking for another vantage point.
