Apparently that word means the warmth of the sun in the winter. As glorious as that feeling is, it pales in comparison to the delight experienced in witnessing this scene. I have lost count of the innumerable times I have stood here and photographed this landscape and yet simply cannot wait to revisit and recapture magical moments like this for as long as I can.
Also wanted to share the good news I have launched a Winter Wonderland workshop for Yosemite National Park.

I gave myself a two month break from Photography. Every day was spent with family, friends, cooking, reading etc. All those things I really wished I had more time for. Over the holidays decided to put away all gear and focus on the things I had been missing. Feel rejuvenated, refocused and truly happy. So when the winter storm rolled through this past weekend decided to break out my new A7rV which I had not touched since receiving it several weeks back. Headed to Yosemite and oh my what a welcome I got!

Am amazed at the diversity of the landscapes in this part of the country. Exciited to be leading my third workshop in the area in October 2023. Please do check it out.

Perhaps the greatest gift that photography gives us is to always be ready to be amazed. I really loved watching the interplay of shadow and light across these dunes in the Utah Badlands. The undulations and texture reminiscent of skin.

Whoever thinks it is not possible to accept death with grace should visit Deadvlei. Like exquisitely carved sculptures these trees branch out from the dry river bed. I was waiting for that exact time when the clay pan would be in shadow, the dunes in the light and the line of transition the same as the line of light and shadow. Such a rewarding experience to shoot these subjects while waiting for that deliberate moment to press the shutter.
