First Glimpse of the Honduras Expedition

2011-08-03T18:40:00.000-07:00

The past three weeks in Honduras have been, without a doubt, one of the biggest adventures of my life. Over the course of the trip I spent several days living with a group of Pech Indians, walked for hours upon end through the jungle, held on for dear life sitting in the back of a pickup as we raced through the surf on the beach, spent a couple nights with the Honduran military, ran into a hog-nosed pit viper and saw the most brilliant of night skies.

Below, you will find a small sampling of photos that I took during the expedition. I will be placing all of the photos on my website once they are sorted and edited but, since it takes some time to go through 70+ GB of photos, I thought I would give you just a glimpse...

Dr. Chris Begley and the team travel through the jungle during phase 1 of the expedition. Phase 1 team members included Dr. Chris Begley (archaeologist), Onán Reyes (ethnobotanist & speleologist), Chad Gilpin (photo assistant) & Joshua Howard (photographer).

Exploring a hidden cave for ancient pottery shards and relics.

We spent several days living on the waters of the Rio Platano during phase 2 of the expedition. Phase 2 team members included Dr. Chris Begley (archaeologist), Dr. Larry Hassebrook (engineer), Eli Crane (engineer), Mikhail De Long (hydrologist), Sam Friley (geologist) & Joshua Howard (photographer). This part of the expedition was funded by a Waitt Grant from The National Geographic Society.

After being poled upriver by our Pech (pronounced Pesh) guides, we finally arrive at the petroglyphs. The etchings on the boulders depict things such as faces, dragons and monkeys.

The team conducts 3d scans of the petroglyphs (as well as a tapir footprint on the beach). The data will be brought back to the lab to be studied. This documentation is very important to preserve these rare petroglyphs before time and water erode them away. This incredible 3d scanning technology is an environmentally friendly science that can be utilized for non-invasive archaeology and has the potential to be used in many other disciplines as well. (Several more photos of the scanning process will be available in the finalized photo gallery).

Did I mention the night sky? One incredible benefit to being on the edge of civilization is the extreme lack of light pollution. Layer upon layer of stars were visible to the naked eye and even more through the lens of my camera. Sleeping under the stars doesn't seem too bad when you're staring up at this.

A dad and his kid...

2011-06-19T17:05:00.000-07:00

In honor of yesterday being Father's Day, I thought I would share a great moment I was able to photograph back in October 2009. I had spent the early morning hours watching a pair of bull elk dueling in a foggy meadow in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. The loser finally conceded to the other and limped off while the winner strutted back to his herd. I then watched as he made his way through the group to the youngest member who seemed to have just woken up. The large bull then proceeded to lick and clean the young elk for several minutes before laying down to rest from his busy morning. It was the first time I had seen such a unique display of affection between a father and their young in the wild.

The Roosevelt elk in northern California are the largest of North America's elk subspecies. They were named after President Theodore Roosevelt who was also a passionate conservationist and activist for this planet.

I hope all the dads out there had a wonderful Father's Day!

Celebrating the Ocean

2011-06-08T14:19:00.000-07:00

Since today is World Ocean's Day, I thought I would share one of my favorite underwater photos. This particular photo was taken in the waters off of Key Largo back in January of 2009. It's sort of a landmark photo for me personally as it marks the first time I allowed myself to think creatively for an underwater composition. I really wanted to move away from the standard underwater portraits that are so easy to snap... I really wanted to capture the essence of the scene. So, I slowed the shutter speed down considerably to allow the motion of the damselfish to be captured. I snapped the shutter, and followed the movement of the fish through the coral with my camera. The result is an abstract look at the reef that I believe captures the scene with much more life and vibrance than could have been captured with a fast shutter speed. Freezing time can be great but can often miss the intricate details that would otherwise make a photo worth that second look.

Mother's Day Wildlife Pics...

2011-05-09T06:12:00.000-07:00

Well, I hope all of the moms in the world had a great Mother's Day yesterday! I had a great time hanging out with my own mom, sitting on her front porch, enjoying the weather and sipping on some ice cold Coca Cola.

I thought it might be fun to have a Mother's Day photo post today. These first two images are from Alaska (keeping up with my AK theme). A mother sea otter and her pup lounged about in the frigid waters of Prince William Sound and the two little moose were following their mom into the Alaskan bush in Denali National Park.

The photos at the bottom are some of my favorite wildlife family photos I've taken over the past couple years. The locations range from the White Mountains of New Hampshire, to the Appalachian foothills to an icy stream in northern Wyoming. Wildlife photography is one of my greatest photographic passions and when I'm able to capture an intimate family moment between a parent and their youngster, it is incredibly exciting. I cannot adequately describe in words the thrill of being alone in the wilderness with only a camera in-between you and the amazing moment occurring only a few yards away.

Dissecting a Stitched Panorama of Alaska's Surprise Glacier

2011-05-05T07:33:00.000-07:00

In honor of my good friend, who is heading into the Alaskan wild for the next two months, I thought I might go back and look at some of my images from my own time spent in the 49th state. In fact, I thought over the course of his stay there, I would post a new image every few days or so to highlight just some of the pristine beauty found in the heart of Alaska. Today, I look at a glacier named Surprise, located in the Prince William Sound.

Now, the Prince William Sound was the location of the Exxon Valdez oil spill back in 1989. I decided to revisit the Sound on the 20th anniversary of the disaster and was encouraged by what I found. Marine life was thriving and the pristine beauty was, once again, staggering... revealing nature's power to roar back. I'll show some of the wildlife in upcoming posts.

For now, I will focus on Surprise Glacier. I've always loved a good panoramic image, and nothing is better for the vast Alaskan landscapes. My normal setup includes a heavy duty tripod head and a lot of leveling to make sure everything is perfect for my post-production stitching. It's a little different being on a boat. I decided to ditch the tripod as that would only exaggerate the steady rise and fall of the boat's movements. I figured I would hand hold the shot with a nice loose grip (sort of like when you're holding a cup of coffee when backing down the driveway) in order for my arm to act as sort of a steadycam. I braced my leg up against the corner of the boat, chose my settings, took a deep breath and snapped away 22 vertical images, slowly rotating at the waist, all before my breath was out. The results are below. If anyone is interested in a 4 feet x 16 feet canvas for their office, let me know! :)

Settings:
f/18, 1/250th of a second, 200 ISO @ 85mm.

FYI...in case you were wondering where I was exactly...

Colorado...good for skiing and testing out the Canon G12

2011-05-03T11:41:00.000-07:00

I just recently got back from Colorado for a little ski and photo trip with my dad. Our schedules finally lined up so we decided to hang out on the slopes of Arapahoe Basin about an hour and a half west of Denver. We had a great time skiing in the Rockies!

I wanted to keep the gear to a minimum on this trip so I left the 5d Mark 2 and the 600mm on the shelf and chose the latest addition to the lineup...the Canon G12. So far, I've actually only used the camera for some B-roll video footage on a recent commercial shoot so I was excited to see how it would handle the landscapes and wildlife of Colorado. I must say that it lived up to my expectations nicely. I will label it as an incredible backup camera for the pro shooter. It has 10mp's and shoots in RAW which is great. For a photojournalist who doesn't want to get noticed, it's also an incredible option. It also handled the cold and snow quite well. A couple of chinks in the armor is that noise is somewhat evident even at only 400ISO and you're limited to an f/8 aperture which limits some of the sharpness that you would desire for a vast landscape image. All in all though, a great camera to add to the arsenal. All of the photos below were taken with it, btw.

Macro Photography

2011-03-21T18:52:00.000-07:00

I had a great time in the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area this past weekend with one of my good friends. We armed ourselves with our macro lenses and headed off to see what we could find. Macro photography is so much fun and can make even the most mundane of locations look extraordinary. FYI, all of these photo subjects are less than an inch in size...

Supermoon

2011-03-20T18:29:00.000-07:00

The moon was closer to the earth last night than it has been in 18 years so I thought I would snap a photo. This phenomenon deemed a 'supermoon' by astronomers occurs when a full or new moon coincides with a close approach by the moon to the earth. It was a perfect evening to be in the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area which is well known for its absence of light pollution. Two and a half hours later, this was the result...

30 Second HD TV Spot for New Horizons Scuba Diving

2011-03-14T06:57:00.001-07:00

Last week I had a great time filming and editing a commercial for New Horizons Scuba Diving Center here in Lexington, KY. Filming began at the University of Kentucky pool where we captured detailed shots of divers and their gear as well as some underwater action. Two days later we gathered people together at the shop to capture imagery of the store as well as the training facilities. Thanks to Ed Gabe who narrated the piece (and acted as my assistant DP) as well as Steve Williams who provided the HD ocean footage. The commercial is currently running on Fox 56. Check it out!

Been a little busy...

2011-02-03T20:57:00.000-08:00

Well, it's been a while since my last post but I've been staying busy wrapping up my National Geographic sponsored project on mountaintop removal in Appalachia. It's been an incredible opportunity. The photo study and documentary film were successfully completed and handed over to Nat Geo last month. I'll be updating the blog soon with more images from the project.

Florida Springs & Caverns

2010-08-10T12:48:00.000-07:00

I recently got back from a great trip to central Florida to explore the freshwater springs and flooded caverns. I've spent a lot of time exploring the state in the past and was even born in Daytona Beach but this was my first time visiting the waterways of central Florida.

Due to the heavy rainfall in the area, the water was a bit murky but I had a wonderful time hanging out with the West Indian manatees that reside in the Florida spring systems. An eight foot juvenile male seemed to take a liking to me and kept inching closer and closer until he was literally right underneath me. Although not recommended, bodysurfing on a 1000lb manatee can be kind of fun. :) Crystal River, the place where I spent the majority of the trip, is one of the few places in the world where PADI offers a manatee awareness specialty... I got my certification so if you ever have any questions about the animal, I'm your man.

Manatees are an endangered species and efforts are being made to increase their population through The Florida Manatee Recovery Plan which was developed as a result of the Endangered Species Act. The recovery plan is coordinated by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) and sets forth a list of tasks geared toward recovering manatees from their current endangered status. A big issue that Manatees have to deal with is the increasing boat traffic in their living environment. They are in danger of being struck by a boat every single time they come up to breathe. Every manatee I saw had at least some form of boat-collision scarring (those slices on his tail are not natural).

Here are a few images I took along the way...

After finishing my time with the manatees, I also had the opportunity to explore some amazing underwater caverns. There's definitely a huge rush descending down into the murky green water to find a dark gaping hole in the ground that you're getting ready to explore. The caverns are pitch black other than the illumination from your dive light and are home to several species of crab, catfish and a myriad of fossilized remains of ancient sharks and alligators.

National Geographic Stock Image Collection

2010-07-06T19:22:00.000-07:00

So, two of my landscape images were chosen to be featured in the official National Geographic Stock Image Collection...which I consider sort of exciting. As soon as the images are processed, high and low-res versions of the image will be made available for purchase on the official stock site.

Here are the two photos:

Some of my latest work...

2010-06-30T05:44:00.000-07:00

Here is a look at a new underwater photo mini-series that I just completed. It is the first part of a larger commercial underwater portrait series showcasing an artistic look at various outdoor adventure sports. The first showcases rock climbing/bouldering and is titled "Climb Higher"...

Art Avenue 2010

2010-06-18T12:16:00.000-07:00

I was invited back to the Art Avenue show in Prospect, KY - the VIP event was last night and was a blast. I met some great people and got a lot of nice feedback on some of my latest photographic work. The indoor exhibit, which features both local and international talent (including a piece by Picasso) will be on display until August 29th. 25% of the art sales go directly to help benefit Kosair so go check it out!

Here are a couple pics from the event. The top image is my outdoor booth with my photo gallery and the bottom photo showcases a couple larger pieces I had in the indoor gallery that will be on display until next month. And yes, that's me with the goofy grin. :)

High Altitude

2010-06-02T10:36:00.000-07:00

Its been close to fifteen years since I took some time to explore Colorado. I'm thrilled I went again this past week...and am already planning a more extended visit very soon. I have a love affair with the mountains out west and being 12,000 feet up in the Rockies is about as good as it gets here in the lower 48!

Here are a few landscape images I captured along the way...

Scuba Diving in the Puget Sound

2010-06-01T12:49:00.000-07:00

These images were captured in the beautiful waters of the Puget Sound last month. The water temp was 45 degrees and the visibility was pretty low but that definitely didn't keep me from hopping in. Everywhere you looked, life was teeming in the water. Most of the structure that you see in these photographs are from a bridge that collapsed several years ago which now served as residence for several species of fish, invertebrates and anemones.

FYI: there were dozens and dozens of the giant plumose sea anemones. Most were over 3 feet tall. Being in the middle of a massive grouping felt like being on another planet.

P.S. These photographs were taken only 2 days before the mountain scenics in the previous blog post...

Washington Photos...

2010-06-01T11:44:00.000-07:00

I hope everyone likes the new blog layout...complete with larger photos!!! yay!

To demonstrate that bigger is indeed better when it comes to photos, here are a few images from the North Cascades that I took last month during a short (but jam-packed) trip to the state of Washington...

Diving in the Channel Islands

2009-11-17T05:44:00.000-08:00

I finally got a chance to dive the kelp forests of California last weekend! A 4 hour one way trip into the Pacific led us to the backside of Santa Rosa Island which is part of the Channel Islands National Park & Marine Sanctuary. 12 foot swells made the trip out and back a little rough (to put it very mildly). So you can try to grasp the intensity of the ocean, a 250+ pound man fell to one side of the galley as the boat lurched to the port side and then as the boat lurched the other way, he was hurled into the air and landed on his back onto the galley table breaking it completely off of it's steel base! I got sick twice on the way out there and I consider myself to have a very strong stomach. Fun times at sea!

Once we reached the backside of Santa Rosa, the cliffs from the island shielded us from the wind to give us some pristine diving conditions. The visibility was great and the sun was casting its rays through the kelp canopy beautifully.

Here are a few pics from the trip:

A self portrait from beneath the surface...

A brightly colored Garibaldi, the California state fish, cruises about the kelp forest looking for food.

An adult male California Sheephead protects it's domain.

Giant Kelp or Giant Bladder Kelp (named for the large spherical sacks seen above) are common along the Pacific coast from Baja up to Alaska.

Thousands of lavender sea anemones found a refuge on this rocky outcropping.

A sunflower starfish, helped along by its 24 arms and 15,000 tube feet moves rapidly (for a starfish) along the ocean floor at a quick 40 inches per minute.

I think this is my favorite photo from the dive trip (above). Something about the image, perhaps the soft light or maybe the muted colors...or maybe both, seem to successfully capture the true ethereal feeling of diving in the kelp forests.

2000 Miles of the Pacific Northwest

2009-10-12T10:39:00.001-07:00

Last weekend I took some time to explore the Pacific northwest coast with my cousin, Dave. He met me in Seattle and we headed south along the coast of Oregon and ended up in the Redwoods of Northern California. The return trip took us more inland and we found our way into the Columbia River Gorge for a bit. A wonderful adventure that went by way too fast..only making me want to return again as soon as I can.

Here are some of my favorite photos from the trip:

An Adventure in the Ozarks

2009-05-29T13:20:00.000-07:00

Last weekend was spent backcountry camping and paddling 60 miles down the Current River in the Ozarks...a great waterway lined with some incredible caves to explore. Here are a few pics from the trip:

Checking out some of the speleothems (cave formations).

A Grotto salamander wanders around blindly in the cave water.

If you look close, you can see Chris scaling the cliff face to reach one of the upper cave openings.

Alaska

2009-05-22T12:29:00.000-07:00

Here are a few photos from a recent trip to Alaska. I started the trip in Prince William Sound photographing the glaciers and marine life and ended in Denali National Park. The weather was perfect and the wildlife were on the move...the makings of a wonderful trip.

The Alaska Range with Mount McKinley looming in the background...one of the tallest mountains in the world.

Joshua Howard...National Geographic Young Explorer Grantee

2009-05-11T06:16:00.000-07:00

I just found out that the National Geographic Society awarded me a grant to move forward with my project, The Power to Move Mountains: Mountaintop Removal in Appalachia!

More details to come!

Wild Wyoming...

2009-03-05T08:58:00.000-08:00

I recently had the opportunity to visit the state of Wyoming again - one of my favorite places in the world. Here are a few images I captured along the way:

National Geographic Adventure Magazine...

2009-02-26T08:36:00.001-08:00

I'm very happy to announce that my black & white photograph, Vast Skies, was recently selected to be featured on the National Geographic Adventure Magazine website.

Here is the photo and the brief description that is featured on the site:

Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
This was a solo trip to the Grand Tetons back in March of 2007. It was my last spring break before I graduated from college, and I chose to get lost in the Tetons for the week—one of the best trips of my life. Being the off-season, I seemed to have the whole place to myself. Shooting in black and white can add so much meaning and depth to a photo. In this photograph, the high contrast of the black and white image allowed the Teton Range to stand out nicely from the low-hanging clouds and the bright sunburst.—Joshua Howard

A Great Time in the Keys...

2009-01-27T10:10:00.000-08:00

I just got back from spending several days down in Key Largo. I was able to finish up my PADI Advanced Open Water certification along with my certification to be a National Geographic diver. The Advanced class included several dives which took me through Molasses Reef as well as the U.S.S. Spiegel Grove. The wreck dives were incredible!

To become a National Geographic specialty diver, one learns about conservation, behavioral biology of life below the surface as well as how to maneuver and photograph the underwater environment in a way that relays the need for preservation. A photo project focused on the biodiversity of the underwater world wrapped up the learning sessions. Definitely an epic trip in my book...

Here are a few images I took along the way:

Looking through the ring of an old Spanish anchor in Molasses Reef...

Looking up at the underwater world from the bottom of the ocean...

100 feet below the surface on the U.S.S. Spiegel Grove...

A scorpion fish - look closely as he blends in with the rocks...

A massive Goliath Grouper that probably would have a hard time fitting inside my mom’s minivan...approx. 700lbs...

A school of blue striped grunts...

Lunar Photography

2009-01-19T06:02:00.000-08:00

Two weekends ago, with a full moon approaching, I knew I had a great opportunity to try my hand at capturing some quality images of the moon. This, my favorite image of the bunch, was taken with a full frame Canon 5d along with a 600mm f/4 IS lens with stacked 2.0x & 1.4x teleconverters...approximately 1680mm worth of lens.

Big Bucks in the Smokies

2009-01-19T05:45:00.000-08:00

Last week, while doing some preliminary work in Tennessee for an upcoming documentary that I'll be shooting, I found some time to sneak down to the Smokies. The timing could not have been better as the wildlife was stirring all throughout Appalachia...

Washington Coastline

2008-11-13T07:41:00.000-08:00

I recently got back from a trip to the Pacific Northwest - a section of this planet that is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to explore and photograph. After hiking a mile through the temperate rainforest I came upon this beautiful rugged coastline. Nothing prepares you for the violence and power of the Washington coast...

Success in an International Photo Competition!

2008-10-20T09:12:00.000-07:00

I was very pleased to hear that my black & white photo series, "Rugged Wilderness", received an honorable mention in the Nature: landscapes category of the 2008 International Photo Awards.

Here is the series, "Rugged Wilderness":

Walking with Moose in New England...

2008-10-14T11:16:00.000-07:00

I just got back from a great trip to the Northeast! The foliage was at its peak color and the weather was perfect. The highlight of my trip was a beautiful morning that I spent strolling through the woods of New Hampshire with a mother moose and her calf.

During the trip I traveled from Montreal down to Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine and spent the last morning overlooking Lake Champlain from upstate New York.

Here are some of the images from the photo shoot. The rest will be on the website very soon! Contact me for purchasing prints.

West Virginia Photo Shoot

2008-10-07T18:50:00.000-07:00

This past weekend I was privileged to travel to West Virginia for an incredible white water rafting trip with some friends. The day before we took on the Class V rapids, we flyfished the rivers and hiked the beautiful countryside. Here are a few of the images that I captured along the way...

Under the Sea...

2008-08-12T13:44:00.000-07:00

Well, this past weekend was definitely one for the books. I had the amazing opportunity to complete my SCUBA diving certification down in the warm, tropical waters off of Key Largo. I love the ocean and I love photography - it was finally time to combine the two! I cannot wait to get back under the water, camera in hand, to capture more of the amazing world beneath the surface.

Updated Portfolio

2008-08-04T06:52:00.001-07:00

My nature photography portfolio has been recently updated with some new images from several amazing locations including Vancouver Island, BC as well as Glacier National Park in Montana and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. A new black and white gallery has also been added. Click here to visit the portfolio now!

Black & White Gallery

2008-06-17T11:50:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to let everyone know that a new black & white landscape gallery will soon be featured on my website! I have always been intrigued by the power and timelessness of a black & white photograph. This began back when I only used film and has stayed with me even as I move more and more into the digital realm.

Here are a few of samples from the upcoming Black & White Gallery:

The Grandeur of Glacier

2008-06-04T15:10:00.000-07:00

I got back Monday night from an absolutely incredible trip to Glacier National Park in Montana. It was my first time to Glacier and I must say that my expectations were met and exceeded by the beauty of this place.

Here are a couple examples from my photo shoot that will be available for purchase soon. Let me know if you would like information about purchasing any prints.

Vancouver Island

2008-06-04T14:41:00.000-07:00

I recently had the opportunity to visit Vancouver Island for the second time - what a grand and majestic place to photograph! I was able to visit an amazing old-growth forest and the pacific coast of the island (along with all of its dense fog that inevitably rolls in).

The photograph below was taken right in the heart of the island at the top of a river bank as this large male black bear moved on down the river looking for a new place to forage. Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing this print.

This photograph of the pacific coastline was taken well after the sun had set. The 18 second exposure along with the ambient light from a nearby building allowed the last bit of color and light from the day to be captured...resulting in a bold, vibrant image.

Smoky Mountains Photo Shoot

2008-06-04T14:20:00.000-07:00

Here are some of the photographs that I recently took in the Smokies while finalizing our itinerary for the upcoming fall photography workshops.

Hello World,

I am happy to announce that our new blog is up and running!
