Since I was a young boy in scouts, I have enjoyed camping, hiking and many other adventures in pursuit of my passion in photography. Photography provides a means to visually express my experiences and display my enthusiasm as a means of connecting with other people.
To create an image of an outdoor experience for people to view, is an awesome, rewarding opportunity. Creating photographs is a task that takes patience, persistence and practice. This contributes to a memorable representation of the experience.

Some photographers claim that children are the most difficult subjects to capture on camera, but if you are a birder, you know better. Effectively stalking and capturing a bird on film is a skill the requires great patience and know-how, but with a bit of luck (and a lot of careful planning) you can have some fantastic feathery photographs in no time.

Bell Canyon is a welcomed outdoor haven from the sprawling and often smoggy Salt Lake Valley. The canyon is only 20 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City, but it's a world away once you get on the trail. There are trailheads on Wasatch Boulevard and off 9400 South. You can see the canyon on this map (just zoom in on Utah).

There are a variety of activities to do in Bell Canyon, during all seasons of the year. Bell Canyon is a watershed area so no Dogs are allowed, and yes they do patrol this.

Lake Tahoe is a year-round resort town, with skiing, snowboarding, and other snow activities available through the Winter and into the Spring. The Summer and Fall seasons provide opportunities for hiking, biking, camping, fishing, paddling, swimming, and boating.

The lake is divided by the California and Nevada state border, so lodging can be found in either state, with casinos available on the Nevada side. Otherwise, accommodations and resorts are usually associated with either North Lake Tahoe or South Lake Tahoe.

Redwood National Park, located in the the North Coast region of California, supports an amazing diversity of life. The ancient coast redwood ecosystem preserved in the park contains some of the planet's most majestic forests. Here, banana slugs, gray whales, Douglas-fir, black bears, and sea anemones are equally at home with redwoods.
