"Early Snow"

This is a digitally enhanced photograph. The original can be seen in my image "Tyndall Creek."

Topaz Labs' Impression 2 was used to add painterly effects.

In the high country of Colorado, the fall colors are usually splendid enough. But when you add an early-season snowfall to the mix, you have a landscape that - to the first-time visitor at least - just might cause sensory overload. That's how I felt hiking on this late September morning, reveling in the glorious spectrum of colors in the pure mountain air. Tyndall Creek is a lovely glacial stream that begins at the base of Tyndall Glacier high up in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Based in Colorado Springs, Colorado USA, I'm a nature and landscape photographer primarily focused on the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Working in both color and black and white, I use a variety of photographic techniques to capture the many moods of mountain landscapes, from intimate perspectives to grand vistas, in locations both iconic and seldom-visited. My goal is to produce images with vivid colors, high dynamic range, and compelling compositions. Longer lens focal lengths are preferred to bring the viewer closer into the scene, requiring every available pixel to help tell the story. Thank you for visiting the site. I hope you enjoy my work.
