This is one of the most exciting photos I have ever taken. I spotted this bull elk in the wild, deep in the Canadian Rockies. I had seen a black bear earlier, and a moose, and I missed the perfect shot on both of those. So when I came upon this elk, I was ready. I came in real slow from behind, downwind, so as not to disturb the majestic creature. I got closer and closer till I felt I was staring at it eye to eye. I was terrified, to be honest. It was so gigantic but so noble and stately. What a creature. I had no zoom on my lens, I was using a 16mm prime lens, so I was that close to it. It stood to pose for just a moment, till it gestured that it wanted me gone, and that was it. I was excited for days at the ordeal. I can’t believe I have the photo to prove it.
On a trip into the mountains, I made it my mission to take over a hundred photos of paths. I wanted the perfect path as a visual reference to always be able to refer to in my mind, and in photography. After a thorough review, I chose this path because of the pleasantness of the area. It leads to a mountain after a while, but here, it’s flat and in a wide meadow leading into a forest. The warm sun shining down made it the path I always want to walk down.
I am a self-professing coffee addict and when you combine hot, freshly roasted coffee with a mountain scene, it doesn’t get much better than that. Add a little Autumn magic and you’re golden. This photo was taken in magical Jasper, Alberta, Canada.
After a long trip overseas working in third-world favelas I was happy to land in Florida and stay near the ocean. I got up for the sunrise (which wasn’t so easy), but a sunrise on the ocean is hard to resist. I was treated by friendly seagulls, gentle waves, and a warm sun. The seagulls had a busy schedule to keep but were kind enough to pose for me a few times, and on the last time, I got this shot. It embodies all that I love about the ocean.
