#SWParksTour Image Preview: Yosemite

Travel Photography

One of the best parts of the work I do is the opportunity to travel to beautiful places and see what justice I can do them through the lens.  The trade-off is that when you put your whole life on hold for any period of time, there is an inevitable reckoning when you return and try to pick up where you left off.  I am still buried in email and obligations, but I’m also devoting as much time as I can to going through the many photos from my trip and getting them ready to show the world.  Here are just a few of my favorites from the first stop of my trip, Yosemite National Park:

The Second-Best Deal Available

I want to say a big thank-you to everyone who took advantage of my art pre-sale, receiving up to 50% off by taking a chance and buying prints from my trip before seeing a single image.  Those deals are no longer available, but for anyone who is kicking themselves for passing them by, here is the next best thing:  The pre-sale storefront is still open, and will be so until sometime in early May, when I finish going through photos from the trip.  Prints are now available at a flat discount of 25% off of retail – still nothing to sniff at, if you ask me.  Don’t delay, as this deal will evaporate as well once I’m done sifting images!

#SWParksTour Has Begun!

Although Wi-Fi has been strangely hard to come by, and cell service nearly as bad, I’m doing my best to give you a few peeks of what I’m seeing on this great adventure.  The best way to see the latest is to follow along on Instagram.

I have also extended the Art Pre-Sale through the end of the trip, so if you are intrigued by what you see, you can still pre-purchase to get 35-50% off the images I will create from this trip!

It’s been a great time so far, getting to know my uncle better and seeing some of the amazing beauty of our country.  I can’t wait to share the final images after I return in April!
