I had the wonderful opportunity to go backpacking with a very good
friend of mine in Tuolumne Meadows within Yosemite National Park.
This beautiful sunset happened on our second night out.  While it was
beautiful, it was also slightly alarming to watch thick clouds
building behind the mountains knowing that we were camping in a very
exposed location (you can see our tent infront of the large bush in
the middle of the photo.) Fortunately, we only experienced a few
strong wind gusts before the storm passed us by.  This time of year
Yosemite is known for crystal clear blue skies a vast majority of the
time so I am very grateful for the dramatic skies we saw.

Phra Nang Bay, Thailand

This was one of the most spectacular beaches I have had the opportunity to visit.  If you ever make it to Southern Thailand it's a must see!

2011 Ouray Ice Fest

I had the privilege of photographing the Ouray Ice Festival climbing competition for Alpinist's Newswire.  19 professional climbers tackle one of the most challenging mixed climbs in the world.  This year only 2 of the 19 athletes completed the climb in the allotted 20 minutes given to each climber.  Thanks again Alpinist for the opportunity! 

Riding The Crest Of The Wave

Lower Antelope Canyon is by far the highlight of the road trip thus far.  I would HIGHLY recommend going there if you ever get the chance.
