My Early Winter in the Badlands Photo Workshop is the last workshop of the year. I always look forward to it, because I love being in the Badlands and that time of year is quiet in the park. Next year, I’m running a June workshop there and in the Black Hills, so I’ll miss the early

Over the weekend while teaching a waterfall photography class, we hiked up the Cascade River State Park waterfall trail and came to the first waterfall. In previous years, the waterfall was framed in by two massive white cedars. It made for the perfect symmetrical shot. But, last year the tree on the left fell down
Back in January, I selected my favorite photos of the year. Each month I picked one favorite shot and then I published them in my Best Photo of 2016 post. There were 62 runner-ups that I didn’t post and a few of you asked me if I would post some of those runner-ups. It’s hard
