It’s now meteorologic autumn and wheat harvest is well underway in the yellow fields of the Palouse. Meanwhile, I’m still sitting on a large horde of images from the green season. Fields, flowers, rural roads, trees, the Palouse River, etc. No further explanation is needed – please enjoy (and view as large as you can)!
Born in New Mexico, raised in Wyoming and Montana, the mountain west has always been my home. I come from mountaineering families on both sides: my maternal grandfather was a pioneering climber in the Sierra Nevada, while my father guided in the Tetons and climbed in China and Nepal. Both my parents guided for Outward Bound. I ran my first river at nine months old, and have been hiking and backpacking longer than I can remember. My other major influence has been my step-father, Stephen Bodio, a nature writer, falconer and traveler, and as fine a family member as I could hope to have.
I studied black and white photography in high school, under an excellent teacher, but failed to apply myself. After high school, I began guiding for ARTA River Trips, and my interest in photography gradually rekindled as I endeavored to share with friends and family my work in the finest landscapes of the American West. Meanwhile, I studied classical literature, philosophy and history of mathematics at St. John’s College in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I am currently living with my wife and son in the Palouse region of eastern Washington.
Photographically, I travel light and prefer to shoot off pavement and explore unknown locations. My favorite landscapes include the unknown expanses and little-visited mountains of rural New Mexico, the canyons of Dinosaur National Monument, and the vast wilderness of Central Idaho.

“Riverbend and Steptoe” is breathtaking. “Winding” is intimate and calming.
Thank you! I’m sorry to report that the landscape in Riverbend and Steptoe likely burned today, since I published this post. I’m hoping the damage won’t be too bad.
Yikes. I don’t see much to burn in your photo.
“Green Isthmus” is lovely and it is my pick of the set. Do you still yearn for the desert or has this landscape grown on you?
I don’t ever see ceasing to yearn for the desert. But while central Washington was not for us, we really are liking it around here in far eastern Washington, next door to Idaho.
