Western Landscapes

I recently made a long-awaited trip to Dinosaur National Monument, located where the far northwest corner of Colorado meets Utah and Wyoming. These photographs were made in many incredible places - Medicine Bow National Forest, Vedauwoo, Flaming Gorge, Sheep Creek Canyon, Rawah Wilderness - that I visited along the way to and from Dinosaur.

Look for a post of photographs from Dinosaur itself soon.

Summerlong

I find a profound joy in the possibilities of losing myself in the isolation of the Sandhills, even if it’s just for a few hours over a long weekend - especially when summer rains have made the grasses a brilliant green and millions of Prairie Sunflowers are in bloom along the road and hillsides. There are hundreds of miles of narrow asphalt and gravel roads winding through the landscape and hardly a human being to be found. It’s an experience I am still hoping to capture in a photograph.
