There were many highlights photo-wise in 2014.
I had two images chosen for the cover of Northwest Travel Magazine. Not a bad way to start the year!

2015 is looking to be another great year.
I have a new schedule of photography classes coming up.
And new articles and images being published in the Mountaineers Magazine and Backpacker Magazine.
I will also be teaching photo classes through the North Cascades Institute, more on that soon.
Travel Plans for the new year include a Washington State Tour, the Enchantments, Olympic National Park, Glacier National Park and a nighttime Tour of Mountain Lookouts in the summer.
Thanks for being there and happy trails to you all!

I’ve got 2 questions
1 Where are you from?
2 What kind of camera do you have?
Hello!
I am from New York and the East Coast. I did not like it there. Now I live on the west coast, in the state of Washington, in a small town, near the North Cascades National Park.
I have a Canon 6D camera and two lenses, a 24-105mm lens and a 14mm lens.
Where about are you from?
I’m from Germany 🙂
I thought about buying a camera and i don’t know what kind of camera so asked you 😊
