My Best Fine Art
My very best photography
The insanely strong auroras of November 11th, 2025 made for some of the best night skies I’ve ever experienced. Check out my “Aurora at Lake Pueblo 11-11-25” gallery for more from this incredible night.
Finally got around to turning an hour of time lapse exposures from the aurora on Oct 10, 2024 into one big star-streak photo. It instantly became one of my favorites. Eleven Mile Reservoir. I have more from this particular night in “Aurora at 11 Mile Reservoir 10-11-24” under the “Galleries” menu.
The little copse of dead trees are the final residents of Swallows, Colorado which still stand after the town was flooded to make Lake Pueblo in 1975. This scene was dreamt of and attempted for several years. The calm air and still water, the high clouds and unobstructed path from dawn to light them, and the water of the lake at this perfect level to reflect it so symmetrically are not elements that frequently align so perfect. Not to mention the most important and maybe rarest element of them all, a lazy photographer gets out of bed and out to the lake in time to see it.
10 years, hundreds of attempts, probably 150,000 photos shot in pursuit of this. Shout out to Comet C/2025 A6 for spitting all these coppery rocks at us.
An abandoned wreck of a home on a pitch-black night in the Black Canyon near Cokedale, Colorado. It once housed pioneering ranchers or miners, it now serves as the centerpiece for dough-soft artistic types.

One of the most beautiful strikes I’ve ever captured, striking west of Lake Pueblo State Park with the South Shore Marina in the foreground. Several shadows of a great horned owl in flight were imprinted in the shot at the upper left corner, lightning flashes multiple times per strike and can cause this effect with moving objects in the frame.

This young fox and it's slightly smaller sibling had been cautiously checking me out while I was attempting to shoot some storms last week. I noticed they kept to a pretty regular pattern and set up for this shot every evening until the fifth night when a little orange someone's curiosity finally got the better of him. Admittedly, the sunset had already dimmed much more than that and I masked in a slightly earlier version of the same background.
One of my most popular prints, this stunning night time view of Pueblo looks great in all mediums: traditional paper print, aluminum, acrylic, and canvas.
Shortly after this exposure, things got a little too intense for the likes of me and I decided to ride out the worst of it out in the car.
This may be against the modern art code of drab splatters and boring nonsense meant to give the pretentious and weak-minded a false sense of sophistication. But I’m a sucker for a bright and colorful sky. And I try my best to stuff the whole thing, in all it’s glory, into one image by carefully framing it around the landscape in a giant panorama made of dozens of photos.
Lit by the light of a quarter-Moon, these tall spires of the red rock which gives Colorado its name, are one of the state’s most iconic landscapes.
I went through a prolonged Heron phase after I got my 180-600mm Sigma lens.
One of the best scenes I’ve ever walked in to without knowing anything at all about what to expect. This is actually a vertical panorama shot with a wide-angle lens.
The first time I came to these trees with professional equipment and a plan. I would revisit this spot many times.
This is a fairly large panorama that can put a splash of color on an otherwise bare wall.
This remains one of my favorite shots of nature. The large Scrub Oak with it’s fall colors, the contrast of a thick upslope fog layer retreating in the background, the deer getting their first blessed rays of sunlight on a cold and dreary morning. What more could you ask for?

Literally perched on the edge of an 800 foot drop I shot this enormous multi-row panorama, fully zoomed in to give the sense of enormity of this scene. Shot from the Royal Gorge Overlook.

The light of a full moon gives this scene a feeling of near daylight.
