Today, 4/6/2012 is one of the biggest art days of the year, and I will be unveiling a new print at the Patagonia of Bend store in downtown Bend.  Their location is 920 Nw Bond St, suite 101.  The following photograph of Central Oregon’s Three Sisters and Broken Top Mountain will be unveiled and I think everyone will love it1

Central Oregon'sThree Sisters and Broken Top Mountains

This print turned out beautifully.  I’ve literally made dozens of trips to this viewpoint and finally I got a wonderful image which I believe captures the essence of the Central Oregon’s Three Sisters and the high desert which surrounds the Bend area.

Below are some other beautiful prints that will be on display tonight.  Bend Oregon’s Tumalo Falls in Summer.

Proxy Falls is the kind of waterfall one never forgets.  It is frequently included on lists of the world’s most beautiful waterfalls.  I’ve traveled to Proxy falls countless times in the last 15 years, including five times this past summer, purely for the sake of capturing the photograph you see below.  Multiple times I was [...]

Central Oregon is a place that is special for many reasons.  My wife may disagree but one of the things that make living in the Bend, Oregon area special is that we have four distinct seasons.  While other areas of the country are frequently touted as excellent autumn destinations, I would place Central Orgon on [...]
