The Always Dramatic Grand Teton National Park……

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Located in the North Western portion of Wyoming, just South of Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park is an area that defies what we think we know about beauty. Known as one of the most dramatic mountain ranges in the lower 48, Grand Teton National Park is a high altitude wonderland. While the valley sits at an altitude of roughly 6,800 ft, the Teton Mountain Range jettisons out of the valley to 13,770 ft (The Grand Teton itself), creating a staggering 7,000 ft difference that is sure to take your breath away. The Snake River, made famous by Ansel Adams, cuts through the valley, making the Grand Teton National Park one of the most photographed mountain scenes in the United States. I hope you enjoy seeing the park through my eyes!

The Importance of an effective work flow…

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

A photographers work flow is one of the most important parts becoming a professional photographer. Some of the big names in the business actually hire people to manage their work flow so that they just spend their time out in the field. As nice as that would be, I am not there just yet…so I continue to perfect my work flow. By definition, even if it is my own definition, a photographers work flow is the journey by which an image travels from the second it is taken too the moment it is sold or in the very least presented in its final form. For my business, I utilize a hand full of programs including Adobe Lightroom 2.3, Photoshop CS4, Photomatix (for HDR work) and Noise Ninja to help cleam up very “noisy” images. My work flow starts in Lightroom and ends in Lightroom. It is a beautiful program that is excellent in its ability to organize an entire catelog and in how it works with other programs.

I will post a work flow blog soon, but for now, the point was that I found a handful of images from my trip to Wyoming with National Geographic last September that should have been included in my gallery. As my work flow continues to progress, situations like these will be less and less likely. Enjoy!
