Grayton Stream Buy limited edition print/license Buy open edition print
Location: Grayton Beach, Florida
Story:
Grayton Beach, Florida is just southeast of Destin, Florida. It is a small preserve with a stream winding it's way to the Gulf of
Mexico. I was here to attend the annual summit of the North American Nature Photographer’s Association. Only on this evening
were there any clouds during my stay and fortunately I was able to get here to see this scene in person. I was attending a
discussion on marketing photographs when I looked out the window and saw the clouds setting up for a nice sunset. I left the
conference and got here as quickly as I could. I had planned earlier to come here if the conditions were right. Time was of the
essence , so I used Google Earth to find this beach ahead of time so I could go right to this spot. Pre-planning is important if you
wish to witness more than your share of fortunate coincidences. The sand flowing beneath my feet was most memorable so I
concentrated on capturing it as best I could with F22. The resulting long exposure worked out well too.

| Other Places and Things While I specialize in landscape photography of specific places, I will place other photographs that I like on this page. Sometimes they will be photographs of an area where I do not have enough for a full gallery page. Other times, they may be of other things or creations. |
Joshua Tree Oasis Buy limited edition print/license Buy open edition print
Location: Joshua Tree National Park, California
Story:
This was the only spot I could find in the entire park that had any standing water. It was late spring, and there were a few flowers
around but not enough to make a good landscape, so a water scene was the next best thing. It is a natural spring with a small
dam that raises the water level a few feet. It can go dry in the summer. Fortunately a few rare clouds drifted by, improving the
light quite a bit!

Tahoe Boulders Buy limited edition print/license
Location: Lake Tahoe, California
Story:
The ice-eroded boulders are photographic subjects in and of their own. I arranged them in a pleasing way and then waited for the
light to soften.
