Explore the gallery, and bring a piece of Joshua Tree Fine Art Photography into your world:
First Light
The first light of the day is always a magical time to be up enjoying the Joshua Tree landscape. Almost as good as when you get to taste the first slurp of coffee. Joshua Tree Coffee of course! See print options
Sunset Layers
Layers, light, and color all play their part in creating one of my favorite images taken this year (so far). It was a great way to round out a weekend and watch the sun go down at the Boy Scout Trail, Joshua Tree.

Cholla Sunrise
I’m fascinated with (but keep a respectful distance from) these cacti whenever exploring the Cholla Cactus Garden and Joshua Tree. The color of the fringing around them when backlit is beautiful.
Limited edition prints available
Star Trails Silhouette
By shooting towards the celestial equator, the Joshua Tree stars ‘rotate’ in two different directions.
Limited edition prints available
Last Light
This was the last shot that I took in 2021 at Hidden Valley, Joshua Tree. I enjoy the simplicity of the silhouette, the color gradient, and the crescent moon.
Fine art, metal, or acrylic prints
Monolith and Dwarf Juniper Sunrise
Joshua Tree National Park doesn’t have many ‘iconic’ landscape photography shots like some other parks, but this is definitely one of them. The scene looks good at any time of day, but I prefer sunrise here.

White Tank Milky Way
I’ve been trying to get this image for the last two new moons but haven’t had the weather to make it work. Third time was the charm.
Limited edition prints available
Geometric Rocks
The geologic history that formed these amazingly shaped granite walls is complex but fascinating. I can’t get enough of exploring the park and looking for rock shapes, textures, and tones.

Ryan Ranch Star Trails
There’s nothing better than enjoying the landscape while sitting in a backpacking chair with the night sky and a flask of tea for company.
Fine art, metal, or acrylic prints
Pinto Mountain
Sometimes, you need the sky to add interest to an image … rather than the typical SoCal bright blue sky devoid of clouds. This was the end of a lovely day exploring and scouting … and as I headed back to the campsite … this view grabbed my eye.

V for Victory
I do enjoy an overcast day in the desert … the softbox-type lighting is lovely and even.
Fine art, metal, or acrylic prints
1929 Lincoln
For sale, 1 careful owner, convertible, needs a little work, amazing views of the sky above.

Sunrise Panorama
Sometimes you win the campsite and sunrise lottery and get a view like this just 100 yards from the tent. It’s always worth waking early just in case you’re given an opportunity to experience such a scene.

Purple Sky
A beautiful mix of colors lights up the sky as the sun sets over Queen Valley Road.
Fine art, metal, or acrylic prints
Quail Springs
This area of the park is becoming a favorite of mine and offers a wealth of compositions if you take your time to explore. It also helps when the light plays ball.

Ryan Ranch
Looking out from the ruins of Ryan Ranch towards Ryan Campground, Joshua Tree, as the sun starts to dip behind the ridgeline.

Crescent Moon through Arch Rock
A crescent moon rises at sunset through Arch Rock … proving that planning and patience do pay off (sometimes).

Sunrise at Hidden Valley
Pre-dawn light silhouettes a Joshua Tree.
Fine art, metal, or acrylic prints
The Ohlson House
Looking through what's left of the old Ohlson House (The Wonderland Ranch) near the Wall Street Mill.

Milky Way Silhouettes
Shooting the Milky Way early on in the season means that you’re in for a long night waiting for the galactic core to become visible over the horizon. But sometimes patience, warm clothes, and a flask of hot tea pay off.
Fine art, metal, or acrylic prints
Late Afternoon Sun
The late afternoon sun beautifully backlights the grasses and creates a sunburst at Juniper Flats.

Sunset Explosion
An explosion of color lights up the sky as the sun sets over Queen Valley Road.
Limited edition prints available
Panoramic Sunset
Probably my favorite panorama shot to date … this location is a little off the beaten track but often rewards with beautiful views … especially at sunset.
Fine art, metal, or acrylic prints
The Great Wide Open
I love the wide-open plains in Joshua Tree ... the mountain backdrops, and of course, the Joshua Trees ... with a beautiful sunset for good measure.
Limited edition prints available
Leaning and Spinning
This windmill hasn't turned for quite some time - but it does make for an interesting foreground subject to add something a bit different to this desert landscape as the sunsets.
Limited edition prints available
Weathered
Funky rock shapes abound in the park if you’re prepared to hike a bit and explore. Incredible what a few million years can create from igneous rock.
See print options
Rock On
You just never know what you're going to find in Joshua Tree ... interesting shapes and textures abound in the various rock formations.

Sunset from Keys View
Sometimes the haze means there’s not much of a view from up here … but you soon forget about that when the color arrives.
Fine art, metal, or acrylic prints
The Iron Door
This definitely fits into the category of curiosities within the park. A large iron door forms a closed cave under a large boulder.
Fine art, metal, or acrylic prints
Pinto Ochotillos
It might be heresy to say it but I actually like the Ocotillo plants in the lower Colorado desert almost as much as the Joshua Trees found in the higher Mojave desert.
Limited edition prints available
Monolith and Dwarf Juniper
I like the simplicity of this composition, the contrast of scale and texture, and the subtle color hues in the sky.
Limited edition prints available
Road to Somewhere
Yes I know it’s another view of that sunset … but it was just so good … I needed to squeeze in another view of it.
Limited edition prints available
Framing the Landscape
This burnt window surround of the Wonderland Ranch makes a natural frame for this Joshua Tree.
Fine art, metal, or acrylic prints
Twisted Tree
I shot this twisted pinyon pine tree reaching up for the sky whilst waiting for the golden hour to arrive near Intersection Rock.
Limited edition prints available
Sheep Pass Sunrise
It was a beautiful start to the day, with gorgeous sunrise colors to provide a backdrop to this shapely Joshua Tree.

Rock Club
Another shot of the other-worldly rock formations that can be found in Joshua Tree ... just love these shapes and textures ... and the shadow of the tree in the foreground.
Fine art, metal, or acrylic prints
Golden Hour
This shot was taken at 90 degrees to where I was waiting to shoot a crescent moon through Arch Rock, Joshua Tree. The light on the rocks was beautiful.
Limited edition prints available
Clouds and Constellations
I took this while waiting to start a star trail sequence at Cap Rock, Joshua Tree. The stars, clouds, trees, and a little light painting gave me this fun image.
