My Favorite Time of Year in Yosemite

I now have two blogs. I just started a new one called 25 Years in Yosemite: A Photographer's Journal. Each week I'll post a short essay telling the story behind a photo, talking about the park's natural history, or relating a personal experience from living in or near Yosemite for over 25 years. I'll take you through an entire year in the park, following the seasonal changes as they happen.

My old blog has moved, and has a new name: In the Moment: A Landscape Photography Blog. Here I'll be posting updates on Yosemite photo conditions, photography and Photoshop tips, and a new feature, a weekly photo critique.

I Have a Fathead

Actually, I have six Fatheads. In case you haven’t seen the TV ads, Fatheads are the peel-and-stick-on-a-wall lifesize figures of football players, celebrities, team logos, and... well it’s a long list. They’ve added a new line called SM/ART Squares: 18-inch-square reproductions from a diverse collection of artists, ranging from Monet and Van Gogh to William Wegman, Keith Dotson, and, now, me. They’re using six of my photographs. The beauty of this format is that you don’t have to deal with framing and hanging—just peel and stick. If you decide the image needs to be a little higher or lower, or in another place altogether, you can easily move it without damaging the wall.

You can view the whole collection here. Right now they’re only available through the Fathead web site, but there are plans to put them in retail outlets later this year.

 

2010 Workshops

My new book, Digital Landscape Photography: In the Footsteps of Ansel Adams and the Great Masters, will be available in January. In this volume I look at the techniques of some past masters of landscape photography—particularly Eliot Porter, Edward Weston, and Ansel Adams—and explore how those techniques could be adapted to digital photography today. The book includes some examples of Porter, Weston, and Adams’ work, as well as at least 100 of my own images.
