Black Sand Geyser Basin

The latest in photographs from the caldera of Yellowstone National Park!  I keep thinking of Yellowstone as an ancient place, where prehistoric beasts roam, and fire bubbles up from the earth.  These are panoramas made from three to sixteen individual parts, and photographed in some of the park's most active geyser basins.  The sun stayed protected until the morning I was leaving Wyoming, and even those rays were fleeting.  These should compliment the photos in my last post from this winter trip.  Click on the image to see a larger version.

A study of Old Faithful

Millions of people flock to Yellowstone every year, and one of the many main attractions of the park is the 90 minute wait for Old Faithful's regular eruptions. In the past three summers, I have been stationed literally right where the picture above was taken, teaching photo workshops throughout the day.

Here you can see the National Park Service webcam of Old Faithful.

This idea was sparked by images I have seen (in person at the Michener Museum in Pennsylvania) of Ansel Adams views of Old Faithful. I hope the inspiration shows through, and that I was able to create a more modern approach to the subject.
