Huge Holiday Weekend Print Sale

Instead of a one day sale for Black Friday, or Small Business Saturday, or Cyber Monday...I've made a four day sale for 30% off some of my prints.  You'll find an array of different landscape, travel, and film photography that I've done. If you have favorites that aren't listed, feel free to message me and I'll take care of you.

I also want to thank all of you that have supported my work over the years. Your kind words and encouragement means the world. Sometimes it can get difficult being a local artist, but your support really makes a huge difference.

This weekend, checkout other local businesses and support local. They are people that actually care and appreciate your support.

The Tongue River - Wyoming - TRD Photography

Back in 2013 I was driving back from Portland, Oregon to Tennessee with my family. We were trying to see as much as we could along the way. One day we drove through Yellowstone, which was an amazing experience but the photo opportunities were limited due to rain quite a bit. The next day I didn't expect quite so much but that's where I truly experienced the most beautiful country that I have gotten to see, at least in my opinion.

From my days as a kid, I've always been fascinated with Native American history. I found myself driving through places with names that I remembered from reading any book that I could get my hands on. We were driving over the Big Horn Mountain range and I was so blown away by the height, and just the energy of that place. It was like nothing I've ever experienced. We stopped on top of the mountain at the Tongue River. The only noise that you heard was the wind whipping all around you and the gurgling of the water. The whole time we were there no other cars came by. It was just you and this incredible energy. I took several photos, not many even get close to doing it justice.

I was thinking about the experience the other night, just remembering how it felt. I wanted to share one of my images from there with you guys. I hope you like it. Hopefully you've experienced a place like that in your life. I think we all need a place to get grounded, even if it's just a memory. Hope you guys have a great night!

Clingman's Dome - 2014 - TRD Photography

Today I just wanted to share a couple of photos I took last fall on a day trip to the Great Smoky Mountains. It was fall break, so one day my wife and kids decided to take a day trip up to the Smokies and just get away for a little bit. It was pretty warm overall but towards late afternoon we drove up to Clingman's Dome and it was flipping cold! 

The mountains were breathtaking however and it looked like there was going to be a killer sunset. I setup my tripod along with quite a few other photographers waiting on the sun to go down. It turned out that I happened into the middle of a photography workshop. It was really interesting talking to some of the other guys. As the sun started sinking however, so did the cloud cover. It seemed it was going to be a race against time. 

As the clouds starting dipping lower and lower, I looked behind me. The fog was wafting through the dead trees. I immediately said screw the sunset, and took off to a better vantage point for the scene appearing behind me. It's still one of my favorite photographs that I have taken.

Anyway, I hope that you enjoy the photos and just a little bit of what transpired behind them. I'm not really known for doing landscape type work, it's just what I do to relax and change the pace up a little bit. If you do like these photos, and you might be interested in a print, I do have them available here on my website.
