North Peak | Sunrise on North Peak in 20 Lakes Basin. It was such a cool experience to be here shortly after the roads opened and many of the lakes were still partially covered in snow.

Backcountry View | Love getting out of the sleeping bag, walking 200 feet and seeing this.

Sweeping | Late afternoon light on perfect dunes. Well, almost. Applied some Photoshop magic to clean up two distracting footprints on the ridgeline. They were much less than 0.1% of the image area, but super bothersome. North Algodones Dunes.
Dune Patterns | Sunrise dune patterns. After a windy day, before others arrive. That's the trick. North Algodones Dunes.
Zabriskie | Not a big fan of the whole "my version of something already done millions of times". But that's what a lack of planning gets you. Still a cool viewpoint. Death Valley is kind of like Anza Borrego on steroids.

Superbloom IV | A beautiful Southern California wildflower display.
Wild Coast | The wild coastline of Washington.
Hurricane Ridge | In between heavy rain showers. Olympic National Park.

Big Bear | From an afternoon of dirt road driving near Big Bear.
Haleakala | Sunrise from the highest point on Maui. Shot on film - before digital really existed - which of course makes it super cool and better than anything shot on digital. At least that's what some film photographers say.
