 Puerto Escondido Lighthouse On Tuesday, May 11 at 7:00 pm I will be giving a slide presentation to the Southern Oregon Photographic Association. In images and words, I will share a retrospective of my year in photography. Since last spring I have had some wonderful adventures with my camera including photographing locations in the Columbia Gorge, the Oregon Cascades, Lassen Volcanic National Park, the Utah desert, the Oregon coast, Mexican mining towns and beaches and many great spots right here in the Rogue Valley. In addition to sharing some of my photographic vision of the natural world, I will also tell some tall travel tales and discuss some of the techniques I use to create my images. Call Terry Tuttle at 541-779-3396 or go to www.sopacameraclub.org for information.

 Time Sculpture This week I will be giving a couple of free to the public presentations in southern Oregon that I wanted to let people know about.
On Wednesday, March 17 from 7 to 9 PM at the Business Center located at 109 NW C Street in Grants Pass, OR I will be presenting the second part of my “Working the Light” lecture for the Grants Pass Camera Club. The presentation is open to guests as well as members. Part 1 of this presentation covered my approach to capturing dramatic light in the field. In part 2 I will demonstrate some techniques that I use to process images in the digital darkroom to fully express dramatic light in the final image. For more information you can go to the Caveman Camera Club site.
On Thursday, March 18, from 5 to 7 PM I will be at the Ashland Art Center Meet and Greet to share some of my photography and talk about my business strategies as a photographer and artist, including topics such as exhibiting, marketing, social media, building a website and making the right contacts. This talk is open and free to the public. The Ashland Art Center is located at 357 E Main Street in Ashland, OR. You can find more information on the Ashland Art Center at their web site.
If you have any questions about either of these presentations, feel free to contact me directly as well.
I’m looking forward to both of these presentations and sharing a bit of what I do and how I do it with southern Oregon photographers and artists.

Vote for your 6 favorites by commenting with a “Yo!”. The first person who v otes for all 6 of the images I submit will win an 8×12 print of their choice. My final selection may or may not be the 6 with the most votes, so vote for your favorites not just the most popular. Thanks in advance for your help.

 Standing Watch, Crater Lake The Rogue Galley & Art Center in Medford, Oregon will be opening a new photography exhibit called “Of Our Time and Place”. The show will be a group exhibit that showcases the photography of several artists from the Rogue Valley region. This juried show will be on exhibit at the Rogue Gallery through September 26. The reception will be open to the public and be held on Friday, August 21, 2009 from 5:00 to 8:00 PM.
Four of my large prints will be part of the exhibit. In keeping with the theme of the show, I selected images that depict defining and well known landscapes around the Rogue Valley with my signature attention to dramatic light, sweeping compositions and a sense of adventure and mystery. The locations featured in my images include Crater Lake, the Rogue River, the Greensprings foothills and the old Wood House near Eagle Point, all icons of our time and place.
The Rogue Gallery & Art Center is one of the finest community visual arts organizations in Southern Oregon. Founded in 1960 by artists, educators, and community leaders, it serves as an art center and artistic catalyst for the region. More than 40 years later, it continues to serve the citizens of the Rogue Valley with art education, exhibitions, and artists’ services.

Travel Essentials is a travel equipment and clothing store based in Ashland, Oregon that also does a lot of business across the country via the internet. Each summer they host a travel photography contest that attracts some highly talented amateur travel photographers from around the US. The winning photos in the past few years have been submitted from all parts of the country and were shot in locations around the world. This year I am working with Travel Essentials as a judge and guest photographer. In my career I have had the opportunity to photograph in some exotic locations such as Nepal, Tibet, Costa Rica, Mexico, Hawaii, Alaska and many of the National Parks in the western US. To help kick off the contest I wrote an article outlining some of my top tips and suggestions to help travelers achieve their best results when photographing on a trip.
The following is the list of my top twelve travel photography tips. In the article I explain the importance of each one and give ideas on how to integrate them into your travel photography repertoire.
- Don’t get too wrapped up and weighted down with gear when traveling.
- Carry your photo equipment with you on the plane.
- Make time to photograph on your own.
- Photograph during the magic hours for magical photographs.
- Vibration is not your friend.
- Get the lay of the land.
- Control depth of field for different artistic effects.
- Add drama with high and low perspective or a unique point of view.
- While on the move, adopt a rapid fire shooting style and let the chips fall where they may.
- Make it move.
- Lose the clutter.
- Edit mercilessly.
You can read the full article and find out more about my 12 travel photography tips on the Travel Essentials Website.
Then head out on your summer travels with your camera in hand and bring back a winning shot to enter in the Travel Essentials Photo Contest.

While a fine art photographic print is still my favorite way to enjoy great photography, technology is rapidly changing the ways it is possible to view, access and share art. The images that move and excite us no longer have to be confined to a wall or the pages of a book. I love to share my photographs and want people to be able to access them in a way that best suits their needs and purpose. A large fine art print will always be available to those who have the resources and space, but size, cost and location are no longer limiting factors to accessing photography and other visual art.
The iPhone is one of the most innovative pieces of technology to recently come on the scene. It can be very valuable as a tool for communication and storing and accessing information, but it also has great potential in entertainment, education and access to media and imagry, includinig art.
I recently partnered with the folks at Open Door Network in creating an iPhone application of my photography. The application is like a collection of slide shows that allow iPhone users to have a portable art gallery of my photographs right in their pockets. Photographs in the Outdoor Exposure for iEnvision app are organized into three collections including Landscape, Nature and Travel. Landscape includes photos of canyons, deserts, forest, lakes, mountains, oceans, streams and waterfalls. Nature displays abstracts, fall color, flowers, trees and winter. Travel takes you to Hawaii, Mexico and Nepal.
In addition to viewing the gallery shows, the images can also be saved for use as iPhone wallpaper and each image links to the Outdoor Exposure Photography website for more information.
Open Door Network’s flagship iEnvision web image browser, as well as their line of Envi iPhone image applications access and organize images from the Web into fun to view and share slide shows for the iPhone. Other iEnvision “Envi” apps include Art, Earth, Space, Mountain and Yosemite.

Gripped perpetually by subfreezing temperatures and cloaked by five massive glaciers, the world famous mountain known as Denali (“the Great One”) beckons intrepid mountaineers from around the world. With a summit peak that is 20,320 feet above sea level, Denali (also known as Mount McKinley) is the highest peak in North America. An aspect that is painfully evident to climbers is that the peak rises 18,000 feet from its base (which is 6,000 feet more than Everest rises above its base, the Tibetan Plateau). There is also a higher risk of altitude illness for climbers than its altitude would otherwise suggest, due to its high latitude. It all adds up to a long and merciless climb to reach the summit, where climbers can encounter temperatures as low as -100 degrees below freezing.
So, you might ask, “What’s the big attraction?” I’ll be answering that questions and others as I present my multi-media program, “Above The Shadow Lands“ on Wednesday evening, March 4th, at The Stage Door Coffee House in Mt. Shasta. The presentation will focus on the story of my second ascent of the mountain in 2005.
In 1998 I climbed Denali as part of a six person team. It was a great adventure, but we had a few difficulties. The size of the group was a challenge and the weather kept us on the mountain for three weeks. In 2005 I went back with my climbing partner, Brock. Better conditions, more experience and an efficient two person team made for smoother ascent. However, I still almost didn’t make it.
Climbing Denali is one of the hardest things I have ever done twice. The route we climbed isn’t particularly technical and I’m not a great climber. However, the mountain is big and cold. Setting the goal and then preparing for and experiencing everything it takes to live, survive and reach the summit in that harsh environment made it an enormously powerful and rewarding experience…both times.
This program is presented by the Mt. Shasta Trail Association. Admission is by donation at the door, and guests are encouraged to have dinner at The Stage Door previous to the program.
Stage Door Coffee House, 414 N. Mt. Shasta Blvd.
Wednesday evening, March 4th, 7pm.

For anyone in southern Oregon who is interested in checking out some of my photography on display and/or is in need of a coffee fix, four of my large, framed fine art prints will be on exhibit in the south Ashland Starbucks from February through April. The images on exhibit are entitled Rogue Sunrise, Land of Fire, Future Forest and Lunar Eclipse Over Mt. Shasta. They are some of my most popular images and represent a good variety of my landscape photography.
Starbucks is a corporate member of the Ashland Artisan Gallery and Art center of which I am a member and resident artist. In addition to their main gallery, the Art Center currates art shows at various corporate member locations around Ashland. As a southern Oregon artist who photographs often in the Rogue Valley it is great to have the oportunity to share my work in the community at public venues such as Starbucks.
The south Ashland Starbucks is located at 1474 Siskiyou Blvd in Ashland, Oregon.

My photograph Lunar Eclipse Over Mt. Shasta was recently named Best Creative Digital Photograph of 2008 by Nature’s Best Photography Windland Smith Rice International Awards. I’m excited to announce that It is now on exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC from November 2008 through April 2009.
Out of 22,000 entries, award-winners were chosen in 19 categories. A selection of 40+ images are included in the exhibition of large-format prints accompanied by captions telling the stories behind the shots, as well as an HD video by the Discovery Channel. Through these photos, visitors will gain an appreciation for the wild through the art of nature photography.
This exhibition has been named in memory of Sandra Windland Smith Rice for her steadfast support of emerging photographers worldwide. She was a skilled nature photographer and a champion for wildlife around the world. She did work for National Geographic, Nature’s Best and Coldwater Creek and won many awards. Mrs. Rice served on Nature’s Best Foundation board and on the board for Earthfire Institute, an Idaho based nonprofit that provides safe homes for wildlife no longer able to survive in the wild.
