When I woke up to thick fog I knew I had to get out and photograph. I did have quite bit to do at work though. I went out for a couple of hours this morning and had a good time making photographs near Sugar City and Teton. I then headed back to work and got most of my work done. I then drove out towards Ashton in the evening and continued. What a beautiful day. Here are a couple images:

My friend and colleague David Belka has been checking the water levels at the Spiral Jetty regularly for a few months now. He called a couple of days ago to let me know that the jetty is now mostly above water and wondered if I wanted to ride down with him to photograph it. I invited another photographer, Scott, to come along with us. Last night we made a quick trip down. The light was awesome, the weather was nearly perfect, and we had a fun time photographing the lake and the jetty. There were a surprising number of people out visiting the jetty. I’d never seen that many people at there before (of course I’ve only been a handful of times). It was kind of cool to see actually.

Here are a couple of my better efforts from the night.

This is one of my favorite types of place to photograph. It is beautiful, it is less than five miles from home, and it is tucked between housing developments, a highway, and agriculture. I can’t believe I haven’t discovered this place sooner. Hopefully it remains accessible. Most places like this eventually get developed. I can’t believe there are not “no trespassing” signs posted around the property yet. In the meantime.. I’m sure I’ll visit frequently.

I tried to count these cows. I think there’s around 387.

Brian, Larry, Alex, and I took a drive out in the Squirrel area to photograph an abandoned home that Alex told us about. Here are my results…

We had a mini family reunion in the Island Park area this weekend. My sister Carrie arranged for a rental cabin on Island Park reservoir. It was a great weekend. Here are a few landscape photographs from the weekend.

I decided to brave and even embrace the wind this evening. I made several photographs of these ratty old willows along the Teton River near Sugar City at sunset this evening. Both of these photographs were made by stitching together four frames from the 24mm tilt shift. Enjoy.

One of my students, Alex George, showed me some photographs he made inside an old home I was aware of in Chester. This afternoon I decided to drive up there to photograph it.

These were made with a 24mm tilt shift lens, a wonderful lens that does really well in these spaces. Panos stitch together seamlessly with little distortion. Here are some results.
