This 60 page full color 8×10 hardcover volume is available direct to you for $49.99
(through Blurb at the link above, or contact me directly for a discout)

The journeys of 2014 kept Nicholas and his cameras mostly in the Northwest, and within the environs of Portland, Oregon – but that is for another time.  Here we see where he went, what he shared and explored.  The roads wind ever onward – to enchanted Oregon forests, deserts, and waterfalls.  And to Adirondack high peaks and snow at the beach.  I invite you to step in and enjoy where Nicholas’s eye takes you in these pages.

Should you desire a PDF version to print yourself, contact me and I can make one available.

Today we have a Powderday!  what an excellent treat to have excellent fluffy powder come down during a short 50th birthday ski celebration / reunion of sorts.  Snow was late to come down, and what had been forecast at 12 was downrated to 6ish, and in the morning we had 8ish!  enough to cover the hard freeze melt.  And enough to drift up deeper in places for some real sweet shots.  We got some first tracks off scotty’s ridge.  Dropped down in via some steep crazy entries.  The sun kept popping out to reveal special graces in the landscape.  And all the while we got hot, got cold, ate food, lost eachother, found eachother, saw skeleton trees, explored, and skied powder! weee!

Ski Utah – Day Two, Snowbird

Our Skiing adventure continues, bruised shins find more comfort in new boots as we head up to Snowbird for more turns.  The night’s hot tubing, mexican food, and bruised shin complaints may have healed us from the sores of a first day.  Today should be good, the weather is changing, with snow scheduled to come in in the afternoon.  We drive up with sunny skies and excitedly gather near the tram, and promptly loose each-other as folks go to lockers and tickets and bathrooms and rentals, and lost poles are discovered.  Finally we head up, while dad heads to Alta to retrieve the poles.  We’re just over the ridge, so not far ay!  The now is hard, but we traverse far out in search of fine turns and tuck under ridges to find wind loaded aspects.  A lot of fun.  And always the wind blowing snow and changing clouds around the magnificent scenery.

50th reunion, Alta, mountains, photography, skiing, slideshow, snow, Utah

NicholasTravers_DSCN8877_We gathered in Salt Lake to head up little cottonwood to Alta and Snowbird for some 50th Birthday ski reunion celebrations.  Good long time family friends converging from the Phoenix desert, Colorado mountains, Oregon forests and Montana wilds.  Most of us on skis for the first time this year, some pulling old gear out of the closet after 6 years of dust collecting.  An absolutely wonderful location.

January in Arches, UT – Black and White Prints

Arches, Black and White, Dead Horse Point, desert, fins, Moab, photography, sandstone, Silver Gelatin Print, snow, Tree, Utah

Silver gelatine black and white prints from my January 2013 visit to Arches.  I got my darkroom up and running in the past few months and spend a chunk of time diving back into the rhythms of printing by printing a series of 645 negatives from Arches and Dead Horse Point.  Funny to compare to the quick digital developments posted previously.  I love the desert, and we had the good luck of visiting with snow and having a few extra bits of contrast here and there.  Click to make bigger and let me know what you think!



These are 8×10 prints currently in 14×18 matts.  I may make a few 11×14 enlargements.  One image is missing from this post, hopefully I can get that photographed next week.  If you are interested in purchasing matted prints please contact me directly.

Arches, Black and White, landscape, nature, photography, Utah

It’s been a long time since  the last desert trip, well 3 years.  I been itching to get back, and then I did.  And to Arches we went, with a stop at Fisher Towers and a loong full moon hike.  Cold January with snow, but nice and quiet, and the stars so bright (but no star trails).  And some nice time with the cameras, enjoy!

Here’s a sampling of the black and white work, poor man scans of 4×5 and 120 Tmax ISO 100 film (shoot the film with a digital camera using a light bulb for back lighting).

Arches - Devils Garden - Private Arch - Pentax 645 75mm
Arches - Sunrise - 4x5 90mm
Utah - Fisher Towers - 4x5 90mm
Dead Horse Point - Pentax 645 75mm
