Tahquamenon Falls State Park
While I have travelled far and wide to film the Great Lakes for our documentary The Sweetwater Seas: North America’s Great Lakes, I had not been to Tahquamenon Falls State Park in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Owls in Evanston
During these very strange days here in Evanston, Illinois there has been an interesting diversion for those out for a walk or bike ride – a family of Great Horned Owls.
Time-lapse of clouds and water
I've been shooting time-lapse for awhile now and am always amazed at how cool it can be when you see the final results. Working on The Sweetwater Seas - A Documentary About the Great Lakes, I have done a fair amount of time-lapse with moving clouds, stars and the water.
Lake Mead National Recreation Area
The first week of April I was out in Nevada and shot images around Lake Mead which show not only the scarcity of the water with Lake Mead being at its lowest level since Hoover Dam was built in the 1930’s. The lake level has dropped almost 100’ as of 2015, a vast amount of water for a lake which is when full 110 miles long. Harbors have been moved ¼ to almost a mile from where the shorelines were and some harbors just plain closed.
