North Point Shack
While in college for photography, I was lucky enough to take a class called Geology of the Bahamas. This class allowed me to travel down to a semi-remote island in the Bahamas called San Salvador Island. This island is also referred to as “Columbus Isle” as it’s thought to be the first place in the new world that Christopher Columbus saw land. Being a sparsely populated Caribbean island, it was not only a very amazing place to relax, but an amazing place to take some photos outside of class time.

Frosty Farm Morning
Cold November mornings before the snow in Central New York starts falling, is a great time to find landscapes covered in morning frost. During the blue hour before Sunrise, I happened upon this farm in Weedsport, NY.
Tunnel View
Eventually in the Yosemite Valley, I arrived a very long distance below the famous Tunnel View. In this monochromatic, you can see Half Dome and El Capitan.
Lee Vining
I decided to take a photo of the road sign to Lee Vining set against the now fully illuminated Sierra mountains, along Route 395.
Mono Lake at Dawn
While on my September 2006 trip to California, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit the unique and spectacular Mono Lake which is located in California’s Eastern Sierra. In the mid 1900’s, the State of California diverted water in the Mono Basin area to the growing city of Los Angeles, which in turn lowered the water level of Mono Lake and allowed the limestone pillars, or “Tufa” to become visible. At 5:04 am, just before sunrise, I loaded my camera onto my tripod and took a silhouette photo of the Tufa.
South Tufa Sunrise
A little bit under an hour later, the Eastern Sun had risen and illuminated the South Tufa in a golden light, where I captured an image of them with the Sierra mountains in the background.
Desert Sunrise
It was a bitter cold night in the desert, and I noticed behind me rays of light from the Sun shining through the fog across the desert terrain. I quickly rushed over and took a photo.
