Canadian Rocky Mountains_IMG_0441 - Version 2_edit_edit.tif
In this photograph I love how the sun illuminates and casts shadows across the peaks and valleys of the mountains. I love that this image was captured in August from approximately 30,000 feet. That the altitude was so cold there are glacier lakes and layers of snow as far as the eye can see, even though at sea level people are sweating from heat and humidity.
It’s amazing to photograph a scene that could be 120 million years in the making. I appreciate that I was able to photograph while looking out a commercial passenger plane window, shooting with only a tiny iPhone 4S camera phone. And, that I was able to revisit this series of photographs six years later, and use improved post production techniques to bring them them closer to my recollection of what I saw.
While the majority of my work is made using dedicated high-resolution camera gear, on occasion I’ll use the latest model camera phone I have on hand, currently an iPhone 13 Mini. Because, sometimes the best camera is the one I’m carrying when I wasn’t planning to shoot. But I always carry how I see things.
