The following five works, each a single signed 1/1 edition, will be on display from August 20th to 24th in Zürich Main Station at the SWISSARTEXPO.
Second print from the Säntis Super series with bright and feathered aurora.
The first, and night-focused colorway print in the Mannheimer series.
A highly detailed vector print with lots of stippling - and only 4 colors.
Another large panorama taken about a half hour before the fated COLD MOON shot. Up in Lech I knew there was snow, but not that it was so fresh and still clinging to everything. I stumbled upon this quiet field and couldnt help but admire the multi colored sky trying to figure itself out if it was blue hour or golden hour. Another monster shot, this one is 10310 x 5091, or 52 megapixels. Still have one or two more shots in the bag from this outing!

My blue hour photography from the Alps, U.S., and beyond.
In late November, I took a trip up to Alberschwende in Bregenzerwald to scout out some nice blue hour photos. The snow was coming down more heavily than I expected, making many opportunities challenging, as visibility, then, only minutes before catching the bus down to the valley, I encountered this amazing street just begging for shot. At this particular moment the snow was lighter than it had been and I was able to shoot not only the street, but the cozy farmhouses on the hills in the distance.
In November of 2019, I was gifted a one night stay at the Bürgenstock Resort with my girlfriend from a good friend and colleague.
Weather was less than optimal this Christmas Eve. It was rather warm which was creating a foggy haze among the fields - even up to 4000ft and higher. I set a long delay and captured this emotional picture with a few last minute travelers heading home for the holiday.
After nearly a week of continual snowing, the Rhine valley saw some of the most snow at the valley level it had seen in years. I got up around 6AM and walked up to a street with a good view in Feldkirch, capturing this show in the blue hour of dawn.
One of my earlier shots with my Nikon D3500. This sunset was quite a surprise, and led to this incomparable sunset and colors.
In mid December 2020, I was in upstate New York for the holidays. A storm and COLD weather brought these fantastic pictures. I couldn't have been on campus for more than 45 minutes - operating the camera, which I had to do without gloves, led to very cold hands.
Another shot from the Union visit, capturing a bit of the sunset glow in the high, cold, and frozen cirrus clouds.
The day after Thanksgiving - and another shot from the United States. A massive estate all lit up for blue hour at Smith Mountain Lake.
A wide panorama from above Tisis at blue hour.
I remember this June night particularly - a cold snap had covered Austria. While it was unfortunate that it was so cold in june, the crisp air left the sky clear and clean.
Across from the river Ill, there is a nice field with great views of Frastanz. I thought it would be aesthetic to align the church right in the center of the picture, with the Drei Schwestern looming in the distance.
A biker leaves his trail of red light - heading home to Feldkirch.
A shot from the Rhineblick at blue hour.
The day after Thanksgiving - and another shot from the United States. A massive estate all lit up for blue hour at Smith Mountain Lake.
This shot is titled "Snow Wars" due to the endless diligence of the snow makers and stewards of the Montafon Valley who get immediately to work as soon as the days finish at 16:30. Their snow cats and machines light up the mountains as they work.
A large panorama of Feldkirch in a golden light.
Another Christmas Eve shot - someone left the light on in the garage, leaving to an emotional arrangement at blue hour.
A sweeping shot of Innsbruck from the Chapel to the Nordkette.
The United States Capital at Blue Hour.
As the sun settled far beyond the mountains, the temperature sank. But bright lights, good friends, and a glowing hearth are more than enough to keep warm during these months where the northern hemisphere tilts away from the sun.
Shot from up on a hill in Feldkirch. The pinkish clouds reminded me of the glow of a steel foundry. Out at these dusk hours you are likely to begin day dreaming of strange fantastical worlds!
Taken just after PURPLE HAZE, I caught a bus running on the road and my camera picked it up as a strange eery glowing green.
My camera couldn't balance the red of the sunset and the deep blue hues of the mountains, so apparently it settled on purple!
Another view of Feldkirch, this one with a far depth of field - you can see all the way to industrial areas in Liechtenstein.
The first of a pair of amazing shots, unedited as they were shot from the camera. A cold day in November, with the last tendrils of light still brushing high altitude clouds.

Another large panorama taken about a half hour before the fated COLD MOON shot. Up in Lech I knew there was snow, but not that it was so fresh and still clinging to everything. I stumbled upon this quiet field and couldnt help but admire the multi colored sky trying to figure itself out if it was blue hour or golden hour. Another monster shot, this one is 10310 x 5091, or 52 megapixels. Still have one or two more shots in the bag from this outing!
Little story on what might end up as my Opus Magnum shot. I went up to Lech because I knew they had snow, and actually didn't really have a plan on what to shoot. After wandering around in the woods for a bit during golden hour, I decided to see if I could actually get to a decent vantage point of the town for dusk, my favorite time to shoot. While crossing a random field to get Lech behind me, I looked back to see how the framing would look. I then noticed a strange light just on the top ridge of a distant mountain, and was rather confused. I thought it was a lift or a mountain chalet, but based on what I knew of the area, there was no life that I knew in that direction. I then realized, as this bright bridge began to increase in size, shouting to myself, "HOLY S(*&#$@, THAT'S THE MOON!". I had totally forgot it was the December full moon, nick named "Cold Moon", named so as in ancient times it used to signal the true start of winter. I threw down my pack to rip out my gear as fast as I could, realizing I had a precious few minutes before it would move rightwards and behind the next mountain. For about 15 (very cold) minutes, I captured as many images as I could of this fantastic arrangement, and then, before it could even hide behind the next mountain, the moon was smothered by a heavy cloud that had moved in. Clocking in at 13954 by 5904 pixels, this shot is a monster 82 megapixel shot. No idea when, if ever, this shot will be able to be reproduced - would need some astro folks to comment. A few more goodies to come from this outing, the shooting was quite literally incredible on this day. Swipe through for detailed clips of the full image.
Sparse cozy homes dot the mountainside above Frastanz.
It's not often we get snow so far down to the valleys, but as soon as we do I like to get out and shoot. This is a shot of Frastanz in Vorarlberg, Austria.
Best shot in my opinion of this January 22nd outing. Nothing like a classic light painting shot.
A dark panorama of Walgau in winter in Vorarlberg - from Frastanz to Maria Grün. I usually don't keep the vignette on my images, but I think it works well here.

A series of photos capturing the summer solstice celebration in Austria.
On June 20th in Austria the summer solstice is celebrated. This is when mountain guides and even locals - head up to the summits of peaks at dusk to lay torches to symbolize the sun staying out all night. On this longest day, there is only about 6 hours of true darkness.

A series of photos from Gargellen, capturing the serene beauty of the Montafon valley.
In March of 2021, there was some fresh snowfall in the Montafon valley. After work I headed in, hoping to get a few shots of what might have been the last for winter. Even on this day following the snowfall, it was already quite warm and the snow was very wet.
The second in the Gargellen series.
The third and final picture in the Gargellen series, this one is my favorite. A quite and cozy farmhouse still shaking off the feeling of winter, hoping for spring..
