Embark on an inspiring photographic expedition through the awe-inspiring landscapes of Yosemite National Park, tailored for explorers eager to learn and be inspired by landscape photography. This book chronicles my personal journey as a seasoned photographer, sharing the challenges and triumphs of capturing its most iconic and hidden vistas. It's an intimate look at how the pursuit of landscape photography has become a spiritual practice for me, especially after the loss of my son. 'Yosemite's Light' offers more than just a collection of stunning images; it's a guide to understanding the art and technique behind capturing the essence of a place, with its ever-changing seasons creating endless photographic compositions. Discover how I interpret Yosemite's unique light, master composition, and employ post-processing techniques to bring the grandeur of granite cliffs, ancient sequoias, and cascading waterfalls to life. Join me and my daughters, Caitlin and Jessica, as we explore the profound beauty of Yosemite and the joy of creating art together. You'll learn how to find your unique perspective and capture the magic of the wild, just as I do, with my son Scotty in spirit guiding my lens, especially during moments like the unforgettable Firefall phenomenon.

Caitlin now shares my passion for photography, and we’ve traveled together, including a recent Pacific Northwest trip. Teaching my daughters photography inspires me, and I look forward to more adventures with my family.
