Image Description – The photograph is of a natural phenomenon known as Thor’s Well at Cook’s Chasm, OR. The shot was taken just as the sun was setting and the tide was coming up. As a stroke of luck, this photo captures the stillness at the edges of the well and has a glass-like appearance, hence the name of the shot. This is a fantastic location to sit in awe of the beauty and force of the ocean and I was fortunate enough to capture the moment to look back on for years to come.

Biography: Musician and Photographer. More musician than photographer, but the camera and seeing the beautiful world keeps the music and sound design work I do flowing……

Image Description – To say that I felt like I was on top of the world from this awesome mountain top is quite the understatement. A non-stop uphill hike for 3 miles is required – but the huge blister on my Right foot and hiking down to my car thru the pitch black forest with a headlamp for my only light source was totally worth it.

I used a 3-stop hard Sing Ray GND and a Circular Polrarizer. This is a single exposure with minimal post processing. That’s how it supposed to be – use the right tools in the field and then no work is required in the digital darkroom…..
