To be a good landscape photographer one must simply get out and shoot pictures. One interesting aspect of photography to me is that there is always someone behind the lens using their own artistic ideas to create an image. The picture has not only been burned onto film but it has also been seen with the human eye. Someone was there. Simply getting to remote and special places, and then taking a spectacular shot, is what it is all about.

All I can say about this image is that this is what I woke up to one morning after camping on a sandbar on the river. I peeked out of my tent and said "man, look at that." I was on a three day float hoping to get into some big brown and wild rainbow trout- which is all in itself another story- and managed to get some real nice images on film.
