  • Taken at a coffee shop of one of my friends after a wedding.

  • Lone Pine California, in the Owens Valley a view of the Alabama Hills. Behind them the High Sierra Mountains, Mt. Whitney the tallest peak in the lower 48 States. A place I never get tired of visiting.

  • Typeface is Whitney index.

  • The Sierra Wave passing over the Alabama Hills. The Sierra Nevada Escarpment can be seen in the back left. The photo was taken in Spring and you can see some patches of yellow wildflowers in the foreground. This is an HDR created from 5 exposures set 1 stop apart. This was exhibited at the 2008 Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa, Ca.

  • Sunset shortly after taking off from Fayetteville Arkansas. The colors may seem oversaturated, but that’s pretty much what it really looked like. All I did was a minor level adjustment to darken the engine and clouds. I also selectively added a small amount of contrast to the clouds by themselves.

  • Whitney Houston in concert

  • Mono Lake, California / Canon Elan 7 and Provia 100 film. My favorite spot in the Sierras; I revisit often and enjoy finding leading lines around the shoreline to compose my images.

  • Santa Rosa Ecological Preserve, near Temecula, California

  • Moonset at Dawn over Mt Whitney, Eastern Sierras,California / Canon Elan 7 camera and Provia 100 film

  • Eastern Sierra Mountains, California / Canon Elan 7 camera and Provia 100 film. Living in the suburbs of Philadelphia as a kid, the Alabama Hills were in another world. Many westerns were filmed in the Hills, beneath the grandeur of Mt. Whitney, and many TV heroes made their film debut there. / Those heroes captured the hearts of many, but if their masks were lifted for all to see, our Dads, Uncles, Grandfathers, Teachers, and Friends would be revealed. The TV hero was an embodiment of the real heroes in our daily lives. / Now I am happy to be able to visit the Alabama Hills, camera in hand, understanding that the heroes of the past helped me to appreciate the beauty of the present.

  • Eastern Sierras, California I first observed the grand vista on a trek to the Eastern Sierra Mountains over a decade ago. Our group leader commented about the mountain range passing by our bus window. Suddenly, the bus seemed to lurch sideways as everyone shifted position to gaze upon Mt. Whitney. The journey to visit the 15,000-foot peak, the tallest in the continental United Sates, included a 22-mile hike. The high summit invited me, and my wife Linda, to engage in a new challenge. We always welcomed an adventure. It was only a few months later when I discovered a group of Marines preparing to climb Mt. Whitney. Linda and I joined the group to prepare for our ultimate trek. Mt. San Jacinto and Mt. San Bernardino became our training grounds to adapt to high altitude. In three months, we acclimatized to hiking the 10,000-foot mountain peaks and the Whitney summit was in sight. Linda and I launched our adventure from the small town of Lone Pine as we drove west, up a winding pass to an elevation of 8000 feet. We parked our van at the trailhead, prepared our backpacks, and slept until 4:00 a.m. The full moon accompanied our early start as we began our slow and steady climb to our goal. No flashlights were required as the moon illuminated our steps. Dawn finally appeared and the sun’s warm rays fell upon the pine trees; their needles glowed orange. Their long shadows stretched out to greet us. As the sun rose, it illuminated the meandering streams, bordered by patches of wild flowers. We stepped from rock to rock, crossed the streams and pushed onward along the twisting trail to a 12,000-foot encampment. We could not camp without a permit and were forced to press onward past a pristine lake to challenge the trail’s switchbacks. The steep switchbacks greeted us, one after the other. We found no respite by stopping, only an opportunity to catch our breaths. Looking down over a ledge, hikers resembled a line of ants dotting the trail behind us. We had trekked for nearly six hours and the summit pass was finally visible. The hikers encountered over the next five miles were in various states of exertion. Some had claimed their prize of reaching the summit. Others, like us, still stepped forward; fatigue mixed with contemplation as we neared the peak. Then, after all of the training, preparation and seemingly endless foot shuffle, we stepped onto the summit. The view from above was worth our effort. It was stunningly beautiful, and the image commemorated our dreams. Our names, Chris and Linda Whitney, were documented forever in the hiking records of Mt. Whitney. A brief nap ended with the satisfaction of our accomplishment and understanding that it was time to leave the mountain. I never truly left the mountain behind. When I walk through the Alabama Hills beneath the mountain, memories of our maiden adventure to Mt. Whitney are mixed with my admiration of the natural beauty of the mountain, a beauty that I continually revisit with my camera.

  • This is the HDR version of this photo. Taken near the Eastern Sierra Nevada town of Independence, Ca. The road leads to the Mount Whitney Fish Hatchery which is a beautiful place. In the background you can see some of the Alabama Hills which I have featured in other photographs. We were driving to the hatchery when these flowers caught my attention. I forget what they are called at the moment. They were really prickly though. Since this was taken there was a massive mudslide that killed all the fish in the hatchery, destroyed houses and flooded this road with debris and tons of mud. It looked like quite a project to clean up the mess.

  • The Alabama Hills were the location of many American westerns. Here they are seen in the foreground with Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the continental United States in the background. I guess I should add that the Alabama Hills got their name from a Civil War ship that for some reasom the early settlers were fond of. The landscape is so rugged and wonderful. i hiked around for hours and only covered a small patch of ground.

  • Rugged, weather worn rock in the Alabama Hills with Mt Whitney as a backdrop
