Photo of the Week

While photographing waterfalls, there’s one phrase that’s often in my head – “get wet.” I love getting right into the water (where it’s safe to do so) and feeling the cool water surge over my legs, almost as if I’ve become part of the stream – a human boulder of sorts that the water must navigate around. Besides feeling in tune and connected with the water, getting wet in these situations also serves the purpose of putting me at an optimal vantage point to get my camera right up near a cascade to use as a bold foreground, like in the image shown here. Ricketts Glen State Park, Pennsylvania. Prints Available.

There is no place that I feel more alive, more connected to what is important, than the wilderness. Whether an icy mountain summit, a misty forest, or a rocky coastline, the wild places of the world feel like home to me. While my love for the outdoors precedes my passion for photography, I now could not imagine having one without the other. Add a car to the equation, and the result for me is the feeling of absolute freedom, where the possibilities are limited only by my imagination and willpower.
