For my next book project, I am collecting my favorite National Park images that will reflect the great diversity and beauty of those landscapes, and my journey exploring these places over four plus decades.

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

I have created a video of my Antarctic photographs from my recent expedition with Justin Black and Visionary Wild. Enjoy the journey, and if you've always dreamed of visiting Antarctica, consider the 2026 trips offered by Visionary Wild. Consider subscribing to my channel youtu.be/tYYPwi-1ByA?...

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!! This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference. It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference. #50501movement

A little morning Zen… lupine leaves and raindrops on the hillside behind my house.

Even if you accept the premise and decision, which I absolutely do not, it is the simplest thing to phone the visa holder, tell them their visa is revoked and say they have a month to leave the country. Accosting someone on the street like a kidnapping is just a spectacle of terror.

💡 Did you know? A report issued by President Trump’s Office of Management and Budget in 2019 estimated the range of annual benefits of EPA to be between three and twelve times greater than the costs to regulated industry. More EPA facts here: www.environmentalprotectionnetwork.org/epafacts/

Yesterday morning, I photographed ice instead of fog that we had the day before. Lucky to live where I do!l

The other morning, following a heavy rainstorm, we had wonderful fog in our neighborhood. I made this image of my oaks and pine in my backyard. Enjoy!

I thought I’d do an introduction post as it seems the way on here. I’m a professional photographer specializing in the ocean and the coast it carves. I’m lucky to be represented by some good galleries. I also teach workshops. I’ve been full-time for 9 years now - went fast!

I am so grateful for all of my friends who sent me Happy Birthday wishes Thursday. I awoke to snow falling, and my plum tree outside my front door was starting to bloom. What a wonderful birthday gift to witness, and to photograph. Here is my favorite image. Enjoy!

Antarctica! Penguins!

A constitutional crisis occurs when the leader of the executive branch—either himself or via an agent—declares that the executive branch can ignore the orders of the judicial branch. And yes, that includes all federal judges, not just the Supreme Court. And that is what happened, here on Day 53.

I thought I should let you all know what is going on over at Twitter ASAP Spread the word: Elon Musk is indeed deportation-eligible

Once upon a time, When women were birds, There was the simple understanding That to sing at dawn And to sing at dusk Was to heal the world through joy. The birds still remember what we have forgotten, That the world is meant to be celebrated. Terry Tempest Williams 🎨 Jennifer Lommers

Glorious Antarctica. Icebergs and glaciers and mountains and whales and seals and penguins. Oh my.

There’s a major shift in U.S. cybersecurity policy. A recent CISA memo removed Russia from its list of priorities, focusing instead on China and local systems. Analysts were told not to track Russian cyber threats.

Russia’s cyber threat is real. Dozens of state-sponsored hacker groups target U.S. government, infrastructure, and businesses, aiming to steal data and maintain long-term access to critical systems.

The surreal colors! These textures and forms of this iceberg! We were returning to our ship after a 3-hour Zodiac cruise when we spotted this berg. I made 28 images during this 2-minute long session. Making this landscape photograph was more like action/sports photography, made while we floated by

As Donald Trump turns the United States into one of the closest allies Russia has worldwide, it's worth revisiting the news item below, which came out immediately after Trump won a surprising victory in November:

This is one of the most shameful days in U.S. history. A weak, corrupt, deceitful, compromised Kremlinist U.S. president recruited his Yarvinist VP to gang up on a heroic ally on live TV. It devolved into a shouting match. Why? This report explains _exactly_ why:

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

I hope you will have a chance to see my exhibit in Solvang, California at the California Nature Art Museum! Here are a few of the 40+ photographs which I printed here in my studio. www.calnatureartmuseum.org/news/yosemit...

Looks like we have even bigger issues. Yikes—the Trump administration is becoming a Russian sympathizer, spreading misinformation about Ukraine. Trump won’t even stand up to Putin, essentially telling him, “Do whatever the hell you want.”

“Trump’s policies, both at home and abroad, are rapidly destroying the foundation of American power,” writes Michael Schuman. “The main beneficiary will be the Chinese leader Xi Jinping, who has been planning for the moment when Washington stumbles”:

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million. How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65 Note: In 2024 alone, Musk’s enterprises were awarded approximately $3 billion across nearly 100 federal contracts, averaging about $8 million per day.

Ephemeral patterns that arrive at night and are gone in the afternoon. From a chilly morning in Yosemite Valley.

It is time to share photographs from my last journey to Antarctica. Heading back soon with Justin Black and Visionary Wild. Two trips are being offered in 2026! visionarywild.com/.../antarcti...

Here is a small set from my recent visit to Mt Baker to photograph Mt Shuksan. As I edited these, I realized I had been influenced a few decades ago by Robert Glenn Ketchum's winter mountains photographs. www.robertglennketchum.com/publications... www.robertglennketchum.com/photographs/...
