A few years ago, my mother and I went on a genealogy romp through Oregon trying to track down the records of my family. We swung out into Eastern Oregon to one of my favorite nature parks, Painted Hills. I’ve photographed it for many years. Here are a few of the choice images from that trip to revisit this odd geological spot where the winds and rains have worn away the topsoil to reveal amazing colors of the minerals in the ground.
Brent has developed an almost obsession with birds. Coming to live in Israel didn't help with more than 500 bird species migrating through Israel, pausing for refreshment, rest, and a chance for Brent to get out the camera and photograph. He has photographed the birds of North America and other parts of the world with an incredible zeal producing thousands of bird photographs. Enjoy!

Sometimes we ignore the world under our feet. Spend some time with us and you will find us celebrating the small wonders found all over the world, especially those so close to home and yet so often overlooked. We hope you enjoy a few of our photographs of the small things found in nature, so small, they are sometimes bigger than you can image.

Patterns in nature are to be found everywhere you look. Diagonal lines,
squares, rectangles, circles, spheres, and spirals of every kind. We teach workshops and classes on photographing patterns in nature, and we are fascinated by the amazingly diverse number of patterns, textures, and artistic joys found in nature.

There is magic and majesty in a wide sweeping landscape, the eye seeing vast distances within a small photograph frame. Landscapes and scenics continue to be the most requested photographs from nature photographers and we love capturing the drama of a vast snow-capped mountain range, fields of grasses flowing into infinity, sunset light on a valley of green, forests climbing the mountain foothills, and seascapes of waves crashing onto the shore…all stimulate the imagination as we stare off into the space of a landscape.

Leaving North America for the wilds of the Middle East and the rest of the planet has opened up new horizons and discoveries. We spent five years living in Tel Aviv, Israel, and took frequent trips outside of the country to explore fascinating venues such as Istanbul, Prague, Budapest, Paris, Jordan, and Greece. In addition to the normal tourist sights and wonderful surrounds of each area we explore, we tend to be drawn to the exciting marketplaces and off-the-beaten-path locales, too.

Packing up our life into a 30 foot fifth wheel trailer, we dragged that and our cameras back and forth across North America for a couple of years, photographing the wonders as we found them. Our travels have included much of the west coast of Canada, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Alaska.
