- [Morning Meetings](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2023/01/05/morning-meetings/) - Foothills Park in Palo Alto has, for many many years, been exclusive to residents of the city of Palo Alto. Visitors were only allowed if accompanied by a Palo Alto resident, or if a Palo Alto resident was having a party at the parks picnic grounds and put your name on "the list". As such,
- [Inspiration](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2023/01/05/inspiration/) - I'm often asked why I take pictures? The answer is two-fold: for myself, to remember the places I've been, and for others, to inspire them to see the world. Every day for 6 years I would walk by a photo of this scene in the Lofoton Islands of Norway. SmugMug had a giant panorama print
- [Chorus](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2022/05/23/chorus/) - There's something about these sunflower fields that make me imagine they're all about to speak to us. I don't quite know what they'd say, but it really looks like there's faces on here, ready to sing their hearts out. Or maybe their seeds out? Nikon D800 w/Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8: 14mm, f/11, 1/3 sec, ISO 500
- [Lucky Flower](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2022/05/23/lucky-flower/) - Willie, David, Miles and I spent a long weekend exploring the Redwood National and State Parks while trying to avoid getting COVID.

- [Warming](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2022/05/23/warming/) - Forests are a great place to photograph because there's so many different ways to interpret the same scene. Before the sun creeps in you can photograph the peaceful forest at rest, with all the trees and leaves in their slumbering glory. In the spring, flowers bloom adding new elements to the scene. By summer they're
- [Minty Snowcone Surprise](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2022/03/25/minty-snowcone-surprise/) - Part of the reason for visiting the Lofoten Islands in Norway was to see the northern lights again. So when we saw the lights finally start to come out at the end of our trip, while eating dinner, we finished quickly and hopped in the car. Throughout the night we ended up nearly an hour
- [Aurora Touring](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2022/03/05/aurora-touring/) - Prior to 2017, I had visited Iceland 3 times: once in the summer and twice in the winter. I wanted to go back again to explore more ice-caves and see more aurora but Rebecca convinced me that I should do Norway instead. We compromised: a stopover in Iceland on our way to Norway. We invited

It was a beautiful picture and it inspired us to find and visit this spot. Inspiration is one of the things I love about photography. Some folks might call
- [A Few in 6,800](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2022/02/24/a-few-in-6800/) - It's said that witnessing comet NEOWISE is a once in 6,800 year event, however, what does it mean if you can see it multiple times over the course of a month? Is it still "once in a…"???? Willie and I went out on multiple occasions to photograph the comet, both when it was visible at

- [Lupine federal bank](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2022/01/31/lupine-federal-bank/) - It's been a pretty nice winter and spring for photography but I've either been too busy with work, too lazy, or stuck indoors due to shelter-in-place to take advantage like some of my friends have been doing. Escaype was predicting a nice sunset and I was itching to get outside and with some encouraging words
- [Do YOU see it?](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2022/01/21/do-you-see-it/) - There's a few tricks that Willie and I use when we get inspiration for our photography but the 2 more popular tools are: 1) being inspired by photos other people have taken and 2) exploring Google Earth. Sometimes another photographer will have taken a similar photo that inspires us to want to explore that area
- [Waterfall Cave](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2022/01/14/waterfall-cave/) - At SmugMug HQ we had an entire conference room dedicated to photos of ice-caves in Iceland. Most of the photos were taken by Iurie Belegurschi, who now runs photography workshops for a living and has some of the most amazing Iceland photos you'll ever see. There's this one photo of a man standing in the

- [Sunsets' Gym](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2022/01/04/sunsets-gym/) - COVID put a major damper on my photography plans for 2020. As I look back through my photos for the year it became clear that there weren't many new photos. A couple sunset outings to the coast, a few Redwoods trips (and lots of tree photos) … the Comet … a few drone pictures …
- [Pillows for a peaceful night](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2021/10/28/pillows-for-a-peaceful-night/) - Rebecca, Andy and I spent 7 days in Norway in 2017, 5 of which was a photography trip and the remaining 2 was spent backcountry ski touring. We had hoped to see and photograph the northern lights during our 5 day photography portion but alas, Mother Nature had different plans. Either the lights didn't come
- [Winter hats](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2021/10/24/winter-hats/) - Willie and I arrived in Yosemite just as winter storm Leo was wrapping up dumping over a foot of snow into Yosemite Valley.

- [Sunburnt](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2021/10/12/sunburnt/) - After exploring some spots that Willie and I were familiar with, we set off for a new location in search of badlands and canyons.

- [Damn that Path](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2021/06/01/damn-that-path/) - I've lived in the same home for over a decade but with so many beautiful hikes nearby, I've never really explored the neighborhood around me, other than to get groceries or eat at a restaurant. When COVID hit and the parks closed, I was forced to walk the neighborhood and I was shocked to find
- [Before the storm](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2021/03/27/before-the-storm/) - I mentioned to Willie that I wanted to photograph more of the Bay Area hills and he was kind enough to invite me out to go shoot on a stormy evening. Actually, I think he just wanted me to drive him there (which is fine by me. Chauffeur Meyers at your service). When we arrived
- [Eggs Benedict](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2021/03/09/eggs-benedict/) - I'm not quite sure why the name "Eggs Benedict" stuck out in my mind. Perhaps it's because these salt flats reminded me of the shape of eggs, and you've got the white/yellow (ok, in this case reddish brown) contrast. Or maybe it was just because I was ready for breakfast when I took this prior
- [Horsetail Falls 2020 Date & Time Predictions (Yosemite National Park)](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2019/12/29/horsetail-falls-2020-yosemite-national-park/) - [Update: Jan 15, 2021]: If you're looking for the time predictions for 2021, they can be found at the 2021 Predictions post.

- [Follow the Pink Fog Road](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2021/02/20/3994/) - All of us that live in the Bay Area have grown accustomed to the fog. Although we don't get much rain, we do get fog. It's our version of "weather", and if you live in SF, it's the thing you check on a daily basis in the summer. No fog and there will be a
- [Taking a break](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2021/02/15/taking-a-break/) - One thing I've noticed when taking pictures is that if you stare at a scene too much, you end up taking the same photos over and over again. So it was nice to get away from the Redwood forests and rhododendron blooms and see something different for this sunset. Miles had wanted to photograph some
- [Lady Bird Morning](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2020/09/04/lady-bird-morning/) - Willie, David, and I had planned on doing a Redwood National Park trip well before COVID hit, and we weren't sure if our plans would be ruined. Actually, we were pretty sure they would be. But things started looking better by early May and the hotels and parks opened up enough for us to decide
- [Pot of Gold](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2020/07/23/pot-of-gold/) - One of my favorite local scenes to photograph are the hills. The Bay Area has a lot to photograph but it's mostly known for its cityscapes and seascapes, so it's fun to photograph something different. And photographing it from the air is even more fun and different. Willie asked if I wanted to go fly
- [Salty Stretch](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2020/07/01/salty-stretch/) - I flew my first drone in 2015 when I borrowed Ben Von Wong's drone for my trip to Iceland. At the time the sensor in the drone wasn't equipped to take great still photos, so I spent most of the trip recording video. When I flew to Norway in 2017 for some backcountry skiing, and
- [Last Aspen Light](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2020/05/23/last-aspen-light/) - In the summer of 2019, Sammi and I visited my coworker Ana in Slovenia. A few weeks later she came out to California for manager training and before she went back she asked if I would join her in Colorado for a fall colors photo trip. I've been wanting to photograph the fall colors in
- [Brain Game](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2020/05/06/brain-game/) - I have major FOMO (fear of missing out), especially if David and Willie are involved. I've always admired David's desert photos and when he invited me to join on a trip to New Mexico, I knew I couldn't pass. Never-mind that the trip fell smack-dab-in-the-middle of a really good friends wedding. The trip was planned
- [3 Smiling Amigos](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2020/05/06/3-smiling-amigos/) - This isn't the first time that I've photographed sunflower fields. I've always loved them -- I don't have many memories as a toddler but I still remember playing with a few sunflower stalks when I was teeny. In high school I loved to eat sunflower seeds while sitting on the bench at baseball games (hey,
- [Creeping into the flats](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2020/03/29/creeping-into-the-flats/) - As I've been spending more and more time working on photography at SmugMug, I've found less and less motivation to photograph the same places and things I had previously enjoyed photographing. The city, which was once a constant source of inspiration and focus for my camera, has become too much of an effort to go
- [Silent Night](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2020/03/22/silent-night/) - Death Valley National Park has some crazy dichotomies in its landscape. The most popular photos of Death Valley usually feature sand dunes, salt flats, or muddy playas. When Willie and I planned a trip to Death Valley for November, we had hopes that we’d take photos of all of those. After a quick couple of
- [Sneaking around](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2020/03/02/sneaking-around/) - Many months earlier Willie had asked me if I wanted to check out Lassen National Park. It was one of the California parks that I had never been to and we had seen photos of the Painted Dunes from some amazing photographers like Brian Rueb, so I immediately said "YES"! It didn't seem worth getting
- [Little Red Walking Hood](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2019/12/19/little-red-walking-hood/) - Willie and I have always wanted to visit the big Redwood trees, and although we have a few near us in Santa Cruz, there's nothing like the big old original growth forests up in Northern California. David decided to fly in and join us, so we picked him up at the airport and off we
- [Arctic Swallow](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2019/12/09/arctic-swallow/) - I always had said that Iceland was the most beautiful place I had been ... until I visited Norway. Andy, Rebecca and I made our first trip in 2017 and were blown away how every turn in the road led to some more amazing view. The fjords with their mountain peaks, snow, and waves are

- [Mt. Divine Birth](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2018/04/05/mt-divine-birth/) - Willie and I had grand plans of exploring as much of the Banff National Park and surrounding area as we could. Kananaskis County and Jasper, Yoho, and Kootenay National Parks are all nearby. Unfortunately, a giant snow storm hit and impeded our ability to travel beyond Banff. We spent more sunrises than we would have
- [Fire at the Factory](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2018/03/15/fire-at-the-factory/) - I love exploring the South West. There's about the landscape down there that's just so captivating. Perhaps it's because the landscape changes so vastly: from giant red rock canyons, to grand vistas, to mesas, arches, slot canyons, rivers, desert, badlands ... the list goes on. I always love exploring a new area and our trip
- [RIP Whitney](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2018/02/23/rip-whitney/) - Dedicated to Whitney Engler: Sept 9, 1987 – Mar 27, 2015 (see more below). In 2017, Willie and I drove to the Eastern Sierras and met up with David Thompson, Nolan Nitschke and Paul Rojas. I had known Paul and Nolan for years on flickr and facebook but had never met either of them in

- [Peeping Rain](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/11/02/peeping-rain/) - Ive always wanted to visit Mt. Rainier National Park to see its epic wildflower blooms, but every summer the wildflower blooms were predicted to be small or Willie and I had been too busy to make a trip. With the wet winter in 2016, we had hoped that the flowers would be booming and planned
- [Resting Place](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/08/11/resting-place/) - Theres something about the Columbia River Gorge that keeps calling me back every spring. I think Ive visited the Gorge for the past 4 or 5 years in April or May. I just love all the waterfalls and the moss, the green plants, the ferns … and the beer Last year Willie and I visited
- [Bay Crossing](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/08/03/bay-crossing/) - I love Christmas time in San Francisco because the city outlines itself with beautiful holidays lights. The Transamerica Beacon lights its beacon, a star at the top of its pointy roof. Ive photographed the city from under the Bay Bridge but Ive always also wanted to photograph it from above the bridge. Willie, Alan, and
- [Painted Rising](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/07/20/painted-rising/) - As photographers we go through certain trends within our photography. My current interest area is photographing flowers in the foreground of my scenes. Ive always wanted to visit Mt. Rainier National Park just because the volcano looks epic, but also because it has beautiful wildflower blooms. Willie and I visited in August of 2016, hoping
- [Deep in Salt](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/06/29/deep-in-salt/) - Interestingly, the tallest point in the United States and the lowest point are separated by only 85 miles. Mt Whitney peaks at over 14,500 feet but further to the south, the Badwater Basin sits at 282 feet below sea level. I spent a lot of time at Badwater on my first visit to Death Valley
- [Pillow Full of Fire](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/06/08/pillow-full-of-fire/) - I first started chasing low fog at the Golden Gate Bridge in 2011. At first it didnt matter what the sky looked like, as long as the fog was so low that the top of the bridge towers could be seen. Then I started to get pickier: I wanted the fog so low that it
- [Roadblock](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/06/01/roadblock/) - Ive visited Panther Creek Falls before and its a little bit of a tricky waterfall to find. Theres a marked trail that takes you to a viewing platform at the top of the upper falls (which you can see peaking out at the top of the waterfall here) but thats not the best place to
- [Rainier Ray](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/05/25/rainier-ray/) - Willie and I had been wanting to visit Mt. Rainier in the spring (August) for quite a number of years but we finally made it happen in 2016. With a wet winter we had high hopes that the wildflower blooms would yield carpets and carpets of flowers. Unfortunately we found only patches of flowers. While
- [Sutrolicious](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/05/18/sutrolicious/) - Willie has wanted to photograph this small cove at Sutro Baths for quite some time now. In November the conditions finally lined up: the location of the sun, the surf and tide, and the clouds Escaype was predicting a beautiful sunset in San Francisco so we left work early and drove up to the city.
- [Rolling Wave](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/05/11/rolling-wave/) - The last time I visited the Mesquite Sand Dunes in Death Valley National Park things were a bit of a disaster. Willie loves to arrive early to things, which is usually great. It gives us time to get settled, scout out an area, find the best views and make sure we dont screw anything up.
- [Lovers Light](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/05/04/lovers-light/) - I’ve been to Iceland four times now (once during the summer and 3 times during the winter) and every trip has been absolutely amazing. There’s something captivating about going in the winter when the island is transformed into this frozen, dead tundra. Gone are the beautiful green hills, the gushing waterfalls at every turn, the
- [Perched on Top](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/04/27/perched-on-top/) - If Im getting up for sunrise while at home in the Bay Area its usually to go visit the Golden Gate Bridge or some other iconic spot in San Francisco.

- [Earth's Eye](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/04/13/earths-eye/) - A lake is the landscapes most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earths eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. Henry David Thoreau I was struggling to come up with a name for this photo and hoped I could find inspiration from someone better with words than I am.
- [Charlotte's Web](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/04/06/charlottes-web/) - Ive visited Death Valley on a number of occasions and almost always left frustrated by the lack of photos Ive come home with. It was common to watch beautiful clouds disappear right before sunrise or sunset, leaving a giant hole in the sky of all my photos. On a November trip in 2016, that all
- [Birth of a Forest](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/03/30/birth-of-a-forest/) - For the last few years Ive visited the Columbia River Gorge every April. The waterfalls are gushing, the ferns start blooming, the flowers pop out, and the entire scene is green, green, and more green. Willie, Zack and I made the trip out at the end of April 2016 in hopes for another great trip.
- [Mountain Hunting](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/03/23/mountain-hunting/) - The Canadian Rockies are known for epic mountain and lake scenes, beautiful peaked mountains with colorful lakes sitting at their base. Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, and Peyto Lake, just to name a few. When we set out on our nearly week long trip to Banff National Park I expected to see as many of these
- [Twilight's Painting](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/03/09/twilights-painting/) - Ive been wanting to visit Mt. Rainier for a number of years. When the snow melts around the dormant volcano, wildflowers pop up everywhere. Fields and fields and fields of wildflowers, so much that it often just looks like sheets of color. The wildflowers bloom in August every year, but some years have more flowers
- [Our Playa](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/02/15/our-playa/) - Theres a couple scenes that Death Valley is known for: beautiful salt flats, rolling Sand Dunes, and plays filled with mud-cracks. On this particular trip in November 2016, Willie and I managed to photograph all 3 of these, and perhaps a little bit more. On this particular evening we hiked out to a playa filled
- [Puddle of Fire](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/02/09/puddle-of-fire/) - Ever since I first photographed Horsetail Falls appearing as if it was on fire back in 2011, Ive been wanting to photograph it over and over again. Its such an awesome scene and theres a reason why thousands and thousands of visitors flock to Yosemite National Park every year to see it. The last few
- [Factory Wall](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/01/26/factory-wall/) - Willie, David, and I spent a few days exploring Factory Butte in Southern Utah. Its a neat area because it has the giant Factory Butte, beautiful badlands, stunning mesas and plateaus, and crazy desert landscape. Theres a lot to photograph in this area and I can see why we randomly ran into a few of

- [Iced Over](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/01/12/iced-over/) - One of the main attractions in Iceland is a giant Ice-Lagoon filled with icebergs as they melt off a glacier and float away into the Atlantic Ocean. The powerful waves break up the icebergs and push them back onto shore, where they wash up on a black lava sand beach. The ice-lagoon and the ice-beach
- [Pillows](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2017/01/05/pillows/) - Willie and I woke up to find several inches of fresh, beautiful snow on the ground. We had grand plans of doing a bit of driving and kept our fingers crossed that the roads would be clear enough to visit all the spots we had planned for the day. The plans involved finding as many

The waves break down the icebergs into smaller chunks and then wash
- [Witches Brew](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2014/07/17/witches-brew/) - I spent almost 2 weeks in Iceland with 6 friends: 5 of whom were not photographers.

- [Overload](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2014/06/24/overload/) - Everything about Proxy Falls in Oregon is an overload. Emotional overload, water overload, moss overload, stunning overload … breathtakingly overloaded.

- [City's Pillow](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2014/07/14/citys-pillow/) - Normally I photograph low fog at the Golden Gate Bridge during sunrise but this evening was the first time photographing it during sunset.

- [Fog Dune](https://blog.aaronmphotography.com/2014/03/05/fog-dune/) - The year 2013 was a fairly slow year for my photography.
