I moved to Driggs Idaho because the community spirit and proximity to wild places, wildlife, backcountry and alpine skiing, and fishing. Grand Targhee Ski Resort is low key, friendly,and also provides great skiing and mountain biking. There are spectacular views of the west side of the Tetons and the Grand Teton. The weather here changes frequently and every season provides inspiration for my photography. Because of the cloud formations, I keep a camera in my vehicle most of the time. It is not unusual to have to interrupt my dinner and run outside. The outrageous clouds and lighting may only last for a minute or two. Two of the photographs below were taken from my driveway.
Jedediah Smith Wilderness and Teton Crest Trail in peak wildflower season. It takes a snowy, wet year for the Monkey Flowers to be abundant.
In order to block out a neighbor house, I crouched in a drainage ditch at the end of my driveway to get this photograph in October 2018.
A huge bonus to a frosty cold morning in the wetlands near the Teton River Valley in Driggs , Idaho were a couple of cow moose and a Magpie.
This image was taken Sept , 2018 at Grand Targhee Resort. The cumulus and lenticular clouds were a wonderful compliment to the orange Aspens.

Because of the many photo opportunities and friendly atmosphere at Grand Targhee Resort, I am motivated to teach a nature photo workshop there. My next workshop is scheduled for September 13, 14, 15 of 2019. It will be wonderful to work with professional photographers Jeff Foott and Judith Zimmerman. We all love to teach. With three instructors, we can customize teaching from basic to advanced topics. We will demonstrate optimization of images using Adobe Lightroom . There will be three full days of class and field opportunities. Class is limited to 15 participants. Please call for more information . 801-450-3770.
