Morning at Pass Lake, Lost River Range, Idaho

Parting shots of Pass Lake before the hike back to the trailhead.

Evening at Pass Lake, Idaho

Ben and I reached the lake about the right time to make images.  I shot like a mad man until dark and then make camp and dinner.

Pass Lake and Leatherman Peak, Idaho

Pass lake is located in a cirque at the base of the mountain east of Leatherman.  It is often misidentified as being at the base of Leatherman.  The lake is often completely frozen at this time of year but at the end of this June has a broken ice cover...more interesting for photos.

Pass Lake in the Lost River Range, Idaho

Ben and I went hiking last week.  Here is our campsite for the night.  Pass Lake is to the right and Leatherman is the peak to the left.  The mountain behind Pass Lake was rumbling and cracking all night.  I got a better idea about why people believed trolls or spirits lived in such places.

Working for a Living

I was hired by Syringa Landscape in Boise to shoot their work for their new website.  They wanted a highly approachable commercial look.  I am planning on going back in the Fall to shoot some of this summer's projects.  Here are a few examples.

Saturday Night at Egin Lake

New Abandoned Home

Went for a Drive last night and found a new home to shoot.

A Beautiful Bush

Same place as last post. Different light.

Planned on going out last night to photograph.  Took a nap and woke up at 8:05.  Got up.  Put on my boots and drove here by 8:10.  Made a few images.  The light was gone by 8:20.  Forgot that my image quality was set to medium jpeg from the last shoot.  Just lucky the exposure was pretty good.

Spiral Jetty, Great Salt Lake

Ever since reading about Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty (1970) in college in the 1980s, I have wanted to visit the site.  Sunday morning after the Antelope Island shoot, I made a detour to see the jetty.  Got their around 10:00 AM and left at 11:27.  Next time I go I'll camp out in the area for a few days hoping for the photo gods to smile down with some light shows and shoot from a platform I am thinking of making for the top of my van.  I remember seeing an image of the jetty made by Darren Clark, I think last year.  It was absolutely stunning.  It still inspires me to explore this earthwork.

White Rock Bay, Antelope Island

White Rock Bay and Frary Peak from Buffalo Point, Antelope Island, Great Salt Lake

Shot these Images last Saturday with Wayson Wight, a talented Utah photographer.  It was very a enjoyable evening of conversation and photography.  Check out his work at his website .  I made these images in the quickly changing evening light.  Perhaps not your standard landscape images...I like the simplicity of composition and the drama of the light.  Antelope Island is a place where one could shoot and not tire of.  If only it was closer to Rexburg.

Sagebrush House

Abandoned Two Room House

Abandoned house north of Daniels Reservoir.  Top two photographs show both ends of the first room and the doorway to the second room...bottom photograph is of the second room.
