When I returned from Christmas vacation, I found an email in my inbox that basically said, "I'd like to order more note cards and your website won't let me. Please help!". So, I've done something about it!

On this day of the new moon, or the "no moon" as I like to call it, I thought it would be fun to go through the archives and see what kind of not-so-new moon images I could find.

One of the most beautiful scenic highways around is the North Cascades Scenic Highway, passing through the North Cascades National Park, the Okanogan National Forest, and other notable natural and recreational areas. The road is closed from November to April every year, so you can't get to it during some of the prettiest times of the year. Or can you?

Well, New Years Eve 2014 has come and gone, and what do we have to show for it? Photographs, of course!

Well, another year has gone by in a flash. All the chaos of Christmas is over and our attention turns to New Year's Eve parties, followed by New Year's resolutions that we may or may not keep.

Last week when I wrote about the natural "firefall" that occurs each February in Yosemite National Park, I promised to tell you a little more about what it's like to run around in the park in the middle of the winter. Well, here it is!

It's amazing how National Park Service management attitudes have changed over the last century. The old ideas of actively trying to manage nature, resulting in all sorts of problems, have been replaced with the thinking that perhaps nature knows a bit more about taking care of itself that we ever will. And, by the way, nature can be pretty amazing without the human generated circus antics of days past.

Even if you missed our fun "BeerZaar" event at the Issaquah Brewhouse last night, there's still a little time to think about giving the gift of art for Christmas or other holidays this season.

Yes, it's that time of year again! The Issaquah Brewhouse will be hosting its third annual Christmas bazaar, or BeerZaar, next Monday after work. If you live in the Issaquah area, you won't want to miss this fun event!

It’s that time of year again, when shoppers are encouraged to support local small businesses during the annual Small Business Saturday® campaign. I wrote a detailed piece about Small Business Saturday® last year called SMALL Business Saturday® – It’s a BIG Deal!, so I won’t bore you with all of that again. I just want […]

Barns. Where would you put your horse if it weren't for barns. Or your hay, your tools, and your fancy John Deere ride. You couldn't very well have a barn raising without barns, could you? And, of course, without barns, photographers would have to find something else to photograph.

It's coming! Roads, campgrounds, and facilities in Mount Rainier National Park are already starting to close for the winter, but that doesn't mean the fun has to wait until next summer. You can still get into the park where the action is to enjoy all kinds of winter activities, including skiing, snowshoeing, and winter photography.

My latest exhibit is now on display at the Pioneer Square branch of US Bank in downtown Seattle. In a new exhibit I'm calling "Horses of the World", I'll be showing a selection of my horse portraits from the United States and Iceland.

What is it about old buildings that makes them so darned interesting? Is it curiosity about what went on in there long before we were born? Some of them are pretty spooky looking! Did anyone die there, or perhaps, was murdered? Were pitchforks involved? With Halloween coming up, I thought we'd take a look at some buildings that have seen better days.

What do you do when people just won't stay dead? That was the quandary City of Issaquah officials had to confront this past weekend, when hundreds of undead filled the streets of downtown Issaquah for the 5th Annual Zombie Walk.

"A horse is a horse, of course, of course, And no one can talk to a horse of course." Well, in a way, this Appaloosa spoke to me back in 2008, and continues to speak to everyone who sees him.

Typically I use this space to talk about some adventure I've been on, like some friendly grizzly bear I've just met, or some upcoming event I'd like you to know about. But today is going to be different. For this week marks the start of a new adventure for me personally. This week marks my retirement from the software industry, and the start of a new series of adventures.

This is it! This weekend is the big (and I mean BIG!) festival in downtown Issaquah! The Issaquah Salmon Days festival draws an estimated 150,000 people, and trust me, they wouldn't be there if it weren't a bunch of fun. Plus, I'll have a booth there this year!

So summer is ending. After a little drizzle this morning, we had a pretty sweet day here in the Seattle area. Tomorrow, right on queue with the arrival of autumn, the forecast is for rain. They say the problem is the Autumnal Equinox. Nothing to be done about it. Well, I know what to do about it - let's look at some images of France in the summer!

When you sign up to sell stock photography through one of the big stock photo houses like Getty Images, you never know where your images will end up. Even the monthly invoices you get showing who bought licenses only provide a hint at where the images will be used. But with a little sleuthing and some modern technology, sometimes you can figure it out.
