Welcome to Sierra Life, my online gallery of Nevada & Great Basin Photography and 'Ramblings'. I invite you to stay awhile and learn a little something you may or may not have known about our wonderful region through my photographs.

Unlike other photographers, my end purpose on this site is not to sell you a picture, but rather share my own personal moments with you wandering in and about this wonderful Great Basin. However, if you DO decide you'd like to order a photo, thank you!... I appreciate your interest! You'll find everything you need to do so.


"Peel the outer skin and surprises lurk beneath first impressions. The landscape reveals itself...
...Nevada and its Great Basin reminds us to take nothing for granted."

- Stephen Trimble, The Sagebrush Ocean

(Contains 25 photos)
The mountains of our Great Basin are true Basin inspired; independant, wild and alone. Often called, "islands out of the sage", the Basin's ranges are a world of their own.
Lake Tahoe Lake Tahoe

It's been called many names and visited by many people. See why Tahoe holds a place in everybody's life. This series of Tahoe shots are adorned with color, courtesy of the lake's creative light shows. 		Basin & Range Basin & Range

Defining this gallery was difficult, because the 'Great Basin' REALLY IS a large place, with countless wonders and countless perceptions. So, just how do you personify the Basin landscape?

'Days Gone Past' proudly commemorates Nevada's past. In this gallery, I celebrate Nevada's abandoned places, ghost towns, former towns and cemeteries. 		Impressions Impressions

Sometimes the most powerful subjects are the ones found right under your nose... hidden among the fancy madness. Enjoy these abstracts taken from our Basin and Range country!
Life & Findings Life & Findings
(Contains 58 photos)
A tribute to Nevada's disarray and random customs. Here, the quirkiness need not be shy! Ode to those roadside oddities and random pieces of Basin life... Nevada's a pretty kooky place! 		Bodie Collection Bodie Collection
(Contains 54 photos)
Bodie is real, a real town, with real feelings, faces and facades. It doesn't take the greatest empath to pick on Bodie's lingering life as you walk its empty streets or peer into its empty buildings.
Other Wild Places Other Wild Places
(Contains 77 photos)
...Of course, sometimes this Great Basin photographer steps out of his zone. When this happens, he finds other subjects in which he calls, "other wild places"!
