I engage with expansive scenes and intimate details. I am opportunistic and curious about what I find rather than looking for what I want to see.

Before the Famous Fossils (New Mexico Press Women Award)
Talking about ancient life and the Paleozoic Era (252 to 541 million years ago) in New Mexico elicits various unexpected responses. Oh, cool! The ancient Puebloans. Well, no. A little further back. Great! Dinosaurs. Charismatic megafauna get all the press, but no, earlier in geologic time. Occasionally, Oh. I tried that diet. No, again.
This is not a drill (Editor's Choice Award)
In the Arctic Ocean, two minutes means near-certain death. For a ship underway, in heavy seas or the Arctic dark, two minutes is an impossibility.
The 2022 Photography Awards: The Top 100
This year almost 2,500 photographers from across the United States and Canada submitted nearly 10,000 photographs and videos to Audubon's 13th annual Audubon Photography Awards. Reviewing anonymous image and video files, three panels of expert judges selected eight stunning winners and five honorable mentions. (Spoiler alert: It was a great year for grouse).
We couldn't stop there, with so many more exceptional shots—and exceptional birds—worth sharing. So we’ve selected 100 additional photos t
Women Artists in the Arctic
To explore is to open oneself to new ways of being. The photographers in this issue brought us images of Mars, dove into the depths of the seas, train-hopped across the United States, and sailed the Arctic on a tall ship. They have worked as a journalist in Africa, road-tripped with a former lover, and revisited a changed hometown in Texas. By venturing far from home or deep within it, they have experienced new perspectives as citizens of our world—intrepid both in their travels and in their willingness to share them with us.
Mirror Image
In our daily lives, reflections are omnipresent. From shop windows and tire hubcaps to sidewalk puddles and our own bathroom mirrors, reflections create illusions that make magic in the everyday. The complex layers of distortion or abstraction create a sub-reality that is uniquely recorded in the photographic medium. For this online exhibition, Don’t Take Pictures presents photographs that incorporate reflections.
The exhibition is on view February 19 — May 19. See our previous exhibitions.
They named it God’s Valley
This is on God's Valley Road in Wheeler, Oregon. It’s state forest – you drive through the recent (second or third generation) clearcut to get to this location.
New Mexican surrealism
Who needs Photoshop with colors like this?
Erosion control
When the arroyo gets a bit too aggressive, and wind threatens to take what’s left of the road, when you’re hard-pressed against the canyon wall, and there’s not much space for a rig to squeeze through, you know what to do. Put those old cars to work. The seat needs reupholstering, but marvel that 60, 70, 80 years later, the steel holds its rust lazily, the chrome sparkles, and the headlight might still work if only the other parts cooperate.
Maybe I need some erosion control, too.
On the edge
In case you were wondering, this is where the West begins. Step off the pavement and into another realm. Don’t anticipate stepping back onto pavement willingly again.
Human impact
Aletsch Glacier, the longest glacier in Europe, stretches below Jungfraujoch and Mönchsjoch in Switzerland.
Each of these three photos includes climbers on the snow, rock, or glacier.
Our reach extends far beyond our size.
Among giants
Deep in the forest, amid the rain and fog, where the trees grow to be giants, live the rulers of the world.
Breakfast, Round 3
When I was a kid, breakfast was a meal we youngsters were expected to eat, but one that was only occasionally made for us. My first memory of cooking was making pancakes when I was about 4. I used salt instead of flour; even the dogs wouldn’t eat the results.
The Second 'B,' revisited
Most anyone who has met me knows I think for myself on, well, pretty much everything. For example, in my mind, breakfast can be anything from traditional eggs to leftovers to dessert. Despite what many people and cereal companies might think, my stomach doesn’t know or care what time it is; it just wants food. With that in mind, I set off for the next round of B&B breakfast adventures
The second ‘B’
Walla Walla has some world-class bed-and-breakfasts. My assignment is to explore the breakfast half of this duet. Before you think, “Oh, how you suffer,” consider this: In the interest of unbiased reporting, I ate nothing. Beautiful breakfasts were laid out in front of me, and I could only take photos. Alas! For I love breakfast.The first stop was the Wine Country Inn on Alvarado Terrace owned by Rick and Mary Moss. Mary’s family is from the South, her parents opened a deli in Walla Walla in the...
