He knows exactly how handsome he is. 29 September 2023. 📸📷🐈‍⬛

Some kitty cat guys hanging out. 26 September 2023. 📷📸🐈‍⬛🐈

Too-tok-a-noo-la (El Capitan) from Dewey Point. The point's named for an admiral who was a "hero" of the Spanish-American War. 17 September 2023. Notes: I really like the placement of the snag, but you can't tell the canyon opens up between the camera and the near cliff.

When the Jag Cat is solar powered. 7 September 2024. 📸📷🐈‍⬛

Happy July is chiaroscuro Jasper. 16 September 2023. 📷📸🐈

Bryce Canyon, 27 May 2024. 📸📷 #landscape #landscapephotography #brycecanyon Notes: Bryce Canyon is otherworldly, but I don't doubt humans have been coming and maybe even living here since time immemorial. The info plaques didn't have much to say about local tribes, though. Anyone know anything?

Bryce Canyon, 27 May 2024. 📷📸 #landscape #landscapephotography #BryceCanyonNP Notes: A standard landscape photography thing is to create depth using contrast. But Bryce Canyon doesn't have much contrast. Or, it has too much: it's all the texture of the hoodoos. Does this cloud shadow create depth?

Bryce Canyon. Holy shit. 27 May 2024. 📸📷 #landscape #landscapephotography #BryceCanyonNP Notes: It's such a radically different landscape from anything I've seen before, I couldn't figure out how to shoot it. This gives a sense of the size of the canyon, but not the cosmic horror of 10k hoodoos.

Zion Canyon from Observation Point, 27 May 2024. 📷📸 #landscape #landscapephotography #zion Notes: You can compare with the unprocessed version (technically, auto-processed by my phone) here: bsky.app/profile/thre...

Observation Point, Zion National Park, 27 May 2024. 📸📷 #landscape #landscapephotography #zion Notes: I'm really interested in how people relate to the Land in national parks and other "natural" places.

Coral Pink Sand Dunes, UT, 26 May 2024. 📷📸 #landscape #landscapephotography #smallscenes

Coral Pink Sand Dunes, 26 May 2024. 📸📷 #landscape #landscapephotography Notes: Does this feel oversaturated? I'm not sure how surreal or uncanny I want this image to feel.

Coral Pink Sand Dunes. 26 May 2024. 📷📸 #landscape #landscapephotography Notes: As a rule, I don't post recognizable images of people I know.

Red Canyon, Orderville, UT, 25 May 2024. 📸📷 #landscape #landscapephotography Notes: The light in the canyon was really remarkable. I'm used to shooting out on granite slabs, where a bright clear sky means everything is directly illuminated.

White sandstone near Red Hollow Canyon, Orderville, UT, 25 May 2024. 📷📸 #landscape #landscapephotography Notes: How do you photograph black and white without photographing black and white

My first slot canyon! Red Hollow Canyon, Orderville, UT, 25 May 2024. 📸📷 #landscape Notes: The colors of the geology were a highlight of this trip for me. And watching the strata change around you as you went up or down in elevation was fascinating!

I haven't had a chance to dump and sort my photos yet, so here's an unedited shot of Zion Canyon. 27 May 2024. 📷📸 #landscape #LandscapePhotography

I'll be back for real next week, but I'm also starting to play around with GoPro video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFh6...

The Asilomar dunes and boardwalk. 21 August 2023. 📸📷 Programming note: This is the last of my current batch of "needs developing" photos, and in like an hour I'm leaving on vacation. Probably no photos for a week or so!

Cathedral Peaks (l) and Echo Peaks (r) from above Cathedral Pass. 13 August 2023. 📷📸 #landscape #sierras #yosemiteNP Notes: Just under 10k feet, this was the highest I got last year. This area wasn't really clear of snow until August, and I still had to get my feet wet a couple of times.

No thoughts, only fuzzy tummy. 12 August 2023. 📸📷🐈‍⬛🐈

Black and white or color? Taft Point, Ahwahne (Yosemite Valley), and Too-tok-a-noo-la (El Capitan), 2 August 2023. 📷📸 #landscape #ahwahne #yosemite Notes: This seems hazier than usual? I was up on the south rim like four times last summer, and I think maybe this trip had some wildfire smoke.

Color or black and white? Taft Point (named for the president, he ate lunch here with Muir), Ahwahne (Yosemite Valley), 2 August 2023. 📸📷 #landscape #ahwahne #yosemite

Happy Friday, is a Jag Cat. 29 July 2023. 📷📸🐈‍⬛

According to iNaturalist, this is either some kind of privet or a bushtit. Kinda suspect it's not a bushtit. 23 July 2023. 📸📷

A rare moment of gorgeous light in our house. 19 July 2023. 📷📸🐈

Yosemite Falls and a wildfire (near Snow Creek?) from Taft Point, with Sentinel Rock peeking over the midground ridge. 17 July 2023. 📸📷 #landscape #ahwahne #yosemite
