Landscape images in 2014
I have created a gallery of scenic images that I curated from a recent look back at 2014. If you are interested in seeing these landscapes, please click on any image or this link.
In 2014 I spent much of my time waiting for wildlife when I was out with my camera. That came at the expense of some time I may have used to search for interesting landscapes and compelling ways to interpret them in my imagery. Far from being lost opportunities, I treasured the time when I was focused on the land a little more than I have previously.
Reviewing last year’s images, I see growth and feel like I am successfully bringing more of my emotion in the moment and some of “me” into the landscapes I am photographing. It is that interpretation where I am happily expending energy focusing on.

2014 Favourite Wildlife Photographs
Eagles, owls and bears were chief among the highlights when I look back over my wildlife photography in 2014. I spent time with Grizzlies in the Khutzeymateen Provincial Park, Kananaskis Country and the Banff National Park. Eagles were often elusive, spiralling far above or banking around a corner, but I had great encounters in Prince Rupert and in the Great Bear Rainforest. Closer to home, Great Gray Owls and Great Horned Owls let me find them now and then in the foothills and out on the prairie.

Beyond these animals, interesting and beautiful wildlife in Mexico, Arizona and around southern Alberta also grabbed my attention. Taking a bit of time to enjoy recalling all of these highlights, I created a gallery with 45 images that meant the most to me. If you are interested in having a look, please click on any image or this gallery link to open a new webpage with my collection of these photographs. It was a good year and I’m looking forward to more exciting encounters, taking more opportunities to learn more about the animals I photograph and to keep learning to see deeper and to create interesting imagery that tells some of their stories.
