Along the Wasatch. Where the Path Leads

Wasatch mountains, August 2026

***

I wanted to share a piece of advice I received recently—it’s hands down the best I’ve ever heard: 

"Don't be afraid to take bad photos because there is no such thing as bad photos; there are simply moments waiting to happen, caught before they could fully unfold."

Generally, life is good.

In the Wasatch Mountains. One Brave Daisy

A wrong turn on an unknown Huntsville road led to an incredible hike through Middle Fork Wildlife Area. 

Right at the trailhead, as the path began its climb into the mountains, I caught sight of a cluster of wild daisies. Only one brave blossom had fully opened to the sun; the rest were quietly waiting for their turn to bloom.

 Generally, life is good.

We Live Here. The Last Witness

Huntsville, August 18, 2026.  

The dead tree is still there—it still endures.

Yesterday, I asked myself if I was ready for this kind of photography: dead trees, scorched grass by the summer heat and scattered dry branches.  My answer was: I am ready, because I am increasingly drawn to finding beauty in things that do not require attention and often go unnoticed.

I am greatly influenced by the American photographer Robert Adams.  Looking at his photographs I feel like he is saying: " Pay attention. We live here."

Generally, life is good.

Canyon Waterfall

 

I’ve been photographing this waterfall for years and ended up naming it 'Devil’s Tears.' I don't remember what sparked the name, but it stuck.

Generally, life is good.
