Snowy Range, southern Wyoming, August 2010. I was hoping to catch some wildflowers on this morning's outing, but it was tough to find a place to get out of the wind. These sunrise and sunset 4x5 shots are typically at least 5 seconds, and sometimes longer, so a short break in the flower-and-lake-blurring wind was most welcome. Yellow paintbrush, aster, and elephant head wildflowers line the willows near this alpine tarn.

Yankee Boy Basin, Colorado, late July 2010. Shot on Velvia 100 4x5 film.

Woke up early on an April morning to catch the sunrise at a beautiful field we'd scouted the day before, close to Bastrop, Texas. It was quite cool, probably around 40 degrees. I love how the film's resolution preserves tiny foreground details like the heavy dew on the flowers.
