This was taken on the south shore in Kauai near Poi'pu. The crew of this boat would sail people towards the sunset while providing diner to couples aboard. I wanted to capture and edit this photo in a way that would give it a feeling of a peaceful dream. Enjoy!

This is Waimea canyon, also known as the grand canyon of the Pacific. I took this photo while vacationing with my family in Kauai. It was one of the most beautiful places I've been, and the most exciting to photograph. Being a resident of Arizona I would have to say I like this canyon in Kauai much more than the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is nice to see, but it offers little in terms of contrast, being mainly brown dirt and brown rocks. Enjoy!

Morraine Lake, AB, Canada is the starting point of the Larch Valley hike. Hoping for better weather, a friend and I set out for a light day in the mountains. The clouds happened to offer a nice light for this shot.

Shot from a very common spot to photograph. I believe this to be a very different mood and angle than the norm, though.

Working with astronomical image processors at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md., renowned astrophotographer Robert Gendler has taken science data from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) archive and combined it with his own ground-based observations to assemble a photo illustration of the magnificent spiral galaxy M106.

Gendler retrieved archival Hubble images of M106 to assemble a mosaic of the center of the galaxy. He then used his own and fellow astrophotographer Jay GaBany's observations of M106 to combine with the Hubble data in areas where there was less coverage, and finally, to fill in the holes and gaps where no Hubble data existed.

The center of the galaxy is composed almost entirely of HST data taken by the Advanced Camera for Surveys, Wide Field Camera 3, and Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 detectors. The outer spiral arms are predominantly HST data colorized with ground-based data taken by Gendler's and GaBany's 12.5-inch and 20-inch telescopes, located at very dark remote sites in New Mexico. The image also reveals the optical component of the "anomalous arms" of M106, seen here as red, glowing hydrogen emission.

I woke up extra early for three days in a row to view this amazing sunrise. This is my favorite shot taken on the third morning.

Early morning near Timothy Lake on Mt Hood in Oregon. I went for a sunrise, but it rained, and I ended up being happy with that.
