Finished a fabulous day of shooting in the North Carolina highlands today with an awesome group of photographers on this CAPTURE North Carolina workshop! Here’s some snapshots of our time this morning shooting sunrise right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. We are all...
My brother Jonathan and I have spent the last few days hiking and scouting out the Linville area in final preparation for the CAPTURE North Carolina workshop! Even in as naturally beautiful a location as this section of the Blue Ridge Parkway, “wow” pictures...
Despite the late hour, I can’t help but announce what I’ve been working on all day long. CAPTURE Kansas. That’s right! The third and final CAPTURE Photography Workshop to be held in 2013. Mark your calendars for October 17-19! Imagine that, it’s still more than two...
Of all the pictures I have ever taken, I can’t think of one single image that I have taken in the state of Maryland! That is, until a few weeks ago. On a weekend excursion to the Normoyle’s home in Dickerson, MD, our families took a hike close to their home to a...
The CAPTURE Alaska page has been up for a while already, but I thought it would be good to officially announce it; with the 4th of July behind us now, August will be here before we know it! Besides, I have purchased my plane tickets and there’s no turning back now!...
Grandfather Mountain State Park isn’t your typical walk in the park! Even the parks main attractions are extreme. The “singing bridge” boasts of being 1 mile above sea level and the short hike from the bridge to McCrae peak (the closest peak to the bridge) is the...
One of my favorite things about the Blue Ridge mountains is the abundance of waterfalls! Crabtree Falls is a gorgeous, perfectly shaped, 70ft waterfall on milepost 339 along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Reaching the falls required a one mile hike downhill, and a rocky...
Imagine having this view out your living window! It was just so handy to throw on a jacket and step outside this morning at this quaint, little house that my Uncle is letting us stay at for the week! Sunrise over Grandfather Mountain I thought about quite a few...

Hadn’t posted a new wallpaper in a while so, here’s a shot I thought was pretty nice from the beautiful state of Oregon. Latourell Falls is one of those off-the-beaten-path gems that I happened to see a sign for along the road I was traveling en route to another...
The sunrise of March 10 was simply spectacular! God must have known it was my Mom’s birthday. Right as it was getting light that morning, I saw these stratocumulus clouds spreading out evenly across the sky and I knew it was going to be a pretty sunrise. So, with...
As I was going through archives today, looking for some grand pictures to use in a new set of greeting cards that are in the works, I ran across this great shot from an excursion in the Sierra foothills near Mammoth Lakes, California. It didn’t quite make the cut...
The verse that stood out to me on the morning that my brother Michael and I drove from Waxhaw to Marble for the North Carolina FEW Conference happened to be Proverbs 26:13: “The slothful man saith, ‘There is a lion in the way…’” In other words, instead of viewing...
Just wanted to announce that I have added two more desktop backgrounds to my Wallpapers page! It’s fun to go through pictures and find pictures like these that really focus in on the detail. They make perfect wallpapers. Colors of Winter Download as Desktop...
“Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see.” –C. S. Lewis About the picture: My brother David and I watched the sunset over Two Medicine Lake in Glacier...
Have you ever wanted to set a picture you’ve seen on this website as your desktop background? I am excited to announce that a brand new page on Lenspiration.com is now dedicated specifically for this purpose! On the new Wallpapers Page, you may download high-res...
Going through pictures, I couldn’t help but love the uniqueness of this capture! It’s one of few night shots I took in the Rockies last month simply because every day was filled from sun up to sun down to the point that I had not the energy to shoot from moon up to...
Just had to comment on a few shots from one of the photo excursions in Montana: Alone, Yet Not Alone Odd looking hay bail, eh? I could hardly believe there was a moose as far east as Bloomfield. The locals said it had been maybe 20 years since they’d seen a moose...
Today we toured the Canadian badlands of Drumheller, Alberta! Though we went to many places in the badlands today, the hoodoos were by far the most spectacular things we saw! About the picture: Despite the fact that it was in the middle of the day when we visited...
What an incredible adventure it has been to spend the past three days in Banff National Park camping, taking pictures and touring with my family! About the picture: In the mornings, my brother Jonathan and I would get up before dawn and drive out to a potential...
