The Best Beach on Maui: Hamoa Beach | Tanager Photography
http://tanagerphotography.com/2013/03/17/the-best-beach-on-maui-hamoa-beach
The Best Beach on Maui: Hamoa Beach. On Maui, Hamoa Beach is that beach for me. We arrived just before sunrise, and just a few moments after the rain had stopped. From a photography standpoint, that is always the perfect moment, no matter where I am: Tuscany. And just as Varenna warmed up to the sand and waves and really started to get grubby, as any child should …. 8230;the rain began to pour again. Googlemaps https:/ maps.google.com/maps?

How to Photograph the Matterhorn | Tanager Photography
http://tanagerphotography.com/2012/03/11/how-to-photograph-the-matterhorn
How to Photograph the Matterhorn. Imagine you took the world’s 50 most famous mountains Everest, K2, Denali, Fuji and put their image on a flash card. Now imagine that you’ve flipped through the entire deck and quizzed yourself. Could you name most of these mountains based on their profile alone? The unique silhouette they cut into the sky? Odds are, only two of those mountains would be gimmes. Kilimanjaro and the Matterhorn. Even Kilimanjaro might be a maybe, but the Matterhorn? From a photography persp...

Steamboat Springs Balloon Rodeo | Tanager Photography
http://tanagerphotography.com/2009/07/27/steamboat-springs-balloon-rodeo
Steamboat Springs Balloon Rodeo. I am absolutely inundated with photo work right now, which is a great problem to have. Thought I’d jump the queue a bit here and upload some images from two weekends ago up in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. We were there for the weekend of the Steamboat Springs Balloon Rodeo. A festival devoted to all things colorful and filled with hot air. What’s a balloon rodeo you say? Is no where to be found either. Many of these shots were taken by my lovely wife Hailey. We also learn...

Photographing Willamette Valley Wine Country | Tanager Photography
http://tanagerphotography.com/2014/10/10/photographing-willamette-valley-wine-country-oregon
Photographing Willamette Valley Wine Country, Oregon. One could get delightfully lost on the roads around Yamhill, especially at 6:30am on a quiet weekday in August. All around you are rolling, yellow-and-brown hills crowned with emerald the vines of Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Chardonnay, and sometimes, something more obscure like Gamay or Pinot Meunier or Grüner Veltliner. Tucked into the clefts of the hills are silver-blue forests that remind you where you are: Oregon. I saw a sign for Lenné Est...

The Good Life in Barolo, Italy | Tanager Photography
http://tanagerphotography.com/2013/01/11/the-good-life-in-barolo-italy-photos
The Good Life in Barolo, Italy. From Alba, we cruised through the golden fog to a cleft in the hills, seeking out the road to Barolo. Adam was growing more instinctual with his driving. His command of routes, landmarks and signage had rendered the GPS-navigation system moot. A wry smile was cracking on his face every time he got behind the wheel. From the deep woods, I ascended a steep ramp into the ancient town. Passing through the ramparts and underneath the castle, I reconnected with Hailey, and w...

10 Must-See Churches in Italy | Tanager Photography
http://tanagerphotography.com/2010/02/19/10-must-see-churches-in-italy
10 Must-See Churches in Italy. Tanager Photography is temporarily on hiatus, so I figure a retrospective is in order how about the most spectacular churches in Italy? Off the list because technically it is in the Vatican. 1 Duomo di Siena. Slaughter of the Innocents. And a painted dome that creates an optical illusion of the three-dimensional heavens (above right). This church is a mind blower. 2 Pantheon, Rome. My first stab at this list didn’t even include the Pantheon. Why? Works by Bellini, several t...

Colorado National Monument at Dawn | Tanager Photography

Colorado National Monument at Dawn. Click on images for larger version … especially this shot). Falling a bit behind in updating the blog from our Southwest Colorado trip. Things take priority sometimes: you know, like a full-time job and life with a six-month old. Funny how every spare moment mornings, nights, weekends I want to spend with her. Just finished getting her down for bed and now I’ll be off on a business trip for three days. So it goes. We set out along Rim Rock Drive. And the Canon 40D.

Tasting Alexander Valley Wines in Sonoma | Tanager Photography
http://tanagerphotography.com/2013/08/04/tasting-alexander-valley-wines-in-sonoma
Tasting Alexander Valley Wines in Sonoma. Apparently I am at that stage in life where its time to fall in love with wine. It’s a precursor to middle age, I am guessing. But before you start painting a picture of me based on the usual assumptions of a stereotypical midlife crisis balding means time to grow a ponytail! Let me first state that I am only 34 years old. Also let me state what this new obsession is. The prestige of wine,. Wine as a status symbol,. Wine as a vehicle for alcohol-based escapism,.
