2016: A Year In Review

In 2016, I added a very diverse collection of new photographs to my portfolio.  In the summer, I took a week long helicopter in/out backpacking trip through the wilderness of British Columbia's Pacific Ranges in the Coast Mountains.  In the fall, I returned to explore some of the swamplands of the southern United States during the evolution of fall color and found the misty conditions I had been waiting for as the warm weather turned cool.  I also added some photographs from the West Indies and coast of Hawaii.  I hope you enjoy my picks for my favorite photographs of 2016. Prints are available for purchase in my Portfolio Galleries.
