For the past few years, a number of people I have shown these photographs to have commented that I should create and launch a photography page. After enough poking and prodding, I decided to finally move forward. Photography is an enjoyable hobby for me and, in many respects, I don't want to take away from that enjoyment by turning photography into work. The photo attached to this blog post is an example of a passion to capture what you and I might take in on a normal walk through the forest. The picture perhaps is simple, elegant, and could be anywhere, but it's not. It's the Zumwalt Meadow Trail in Kings Canyon National Park. This trail, amongst its many brother and sister trails, is a single "capture" of what is experienced when visiting this amazing place. The photo itself is called "The Trail."  When I set out to find the spot for this photo, I wanted to capture the feel of the trail, the lush green ferns, the fallen pine needles and the sun as it filtered through the canopy of the trees.

At a glance, the picture should feel warm, inviting and perhaps inspire you to take a break from the suburban life and step into the outdoors.

Enjoy.
