  • Photo of the Day: Chapel in Moonlight by Marc Crumpler

  • Photo of the Day: Trees by Zachary

    Today’s Photo of the Day is one that is very dear to me, it’s the first photo taken by my son Zachary at age 3. I’m very proud. He loves looking at photos and has already destroyed one copy of my Photographer’s Guide to Yosemite and several Galen Rowell and Ansel Adams books. Maybe he’ll…
