Which of his images is your favorite and why?
0037 Cucharas Pass Fog near La Veta, southern Colorado and 1071 Willow Lake are my favorite pictures of his. The one of the fog is so interesting to me because of how it seems to fade out near the top where the fog is, and how bright the green is among that fog. In the picture taken at Willow Lake I love how there is a pop of color among the dull mountains and rock being reflected in the lake.
