Over the Rainbow

The monsoon season is amazing in Zion Canyon. The storms bring lots of drama to the already beautiful landscape creating some stunning photographic opportunities.
My newest image below, "Over the Rainbow", is the result of numerous visits to this location. I was lucky enough to catch the most spectacular rainbow I have ever seen in Zion. 
This particular photograph was taken with my newest camera a Hasselblad H4D40. I look forward to pushing my creativity even further with this high quality camera. - David

Timeless

Just released Timeless, Zion National Park, Utah, Limited Edition of 500

This photograph, taken with my  Linhof 6x17 panoramic  film camera,
makes me feel as if I am stepping back in
time and seeing the unchanging magnificence of Zion Canyon. -David

Portraits

Photographing people has always intrigued me since growing up around my dad's photography studio in New Jersey. I was helping my dad photograph portraits when I was just learning to walk. He taught me how to use the backdrops, flash umbrellas, and medium format film cameras. He set up his first darkroom in the basement of his girlfriend's home (now his wife and my mom). I could only imagine what it must have been like for him to develop his images for the first time and magically see them appear before his eyes. My favorite part of developing photographs in the darkroom was watching the white paper turn into an image right before your eyes. Thanks to my dad my interest in photography began at an early age, now at 32 I have been a full time professional (landscape photography being my only source of income) for the past 7 years. It is unbelievable how fast time flies when you are doing what you love.

The gallery in Spring

We were going to post this a couple months ago, but with the baby... somehow we never posted... Spring was gorgeous in Zion we had so much rain that our flowers in front of the gallery were out of control, here is a picture of the gallery in April.

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day to all the Fathers out there in the world. My husband, David, has already been a great father to our four legged son, Charlie Brown, but this year he became a father to our two legged daughter, Arielle River. I am so grateful for him in our lives. He works so hard in the gallery, on workshops, and out in nature taking pictures. He never sits still, he is always moving, thinking, and doing. I know when Arielle is older she will be looking up to her father as David looks up to his father. We are such a lucky family. Much love from your family: MJ, Arielle, and Charlie Brown.
