This driving north through Arizona, we drove down a long dirt road and took a handful of photographs of this storm cloud that stretched across the western landscape. The setting sun to the west brought a powerful warm stripe of color to the scene. I have been back home for just over a week now. It’s great to be spending some time with my family for the holidays. Now is the time that I will be …
Halloween in San Francisco
I have yet to begin the process of sorting through photos from the past week of working living and camping around the city of San Francisco. This city is [to date] my favorite. Something about it, something in the way that it feels to be there is just so cool. We stayed at the Marin Headlands for three days. It was great to be in the city the night that the Giants won the series. …
Tide pool at sunset along the lost coast
This image was photographed in a tidal pool during sunset in northern California’s Lost Coast. This image was a challenge to create, but the incredible light made it easier than usual. For this image I rolled up the legs of m pants and stood in the center of this tidal pool. I set up my tripod as low to the waters surface as I could. To get the soft still look of the water in …
Backpacking along the Lower Rogue
This photograph of the rogue river was made Saturday evening looking out over blossom bar. Traveling along the Lower Rogue has been a great addition to our adventure. As I write this I am in my tent camped just up from blossom bar. Marina and I opted to skip out on 20 or so miles of hiking through rolling hills of scrub oak. Instead we drove the car up in the mountains along an old, …
New e-Book: Dave Matthews Band- A Collection of Photos From Camping at the Gorge
New e-Book: Dave Matthews Band- A Collection of Photos From Camping at the Gorge by By Marina Hansen & Billy Newman I started this new road trip in early September, I was happy to begin the trip by traveling to see the Dave Matthews Band perform at the Gorge over Labor Day weekend. This event was certainly focused more on taking time off, meeting friends and listening to some great live music which has always …
Impressions from the Oregon Coast
This past weekend Marina and I spent a night camping on the Oregon Coast south of Newport. We had a great time enjoying the September weather on the coast. Saturday evening I worked on a few impressions of the sunset. I ended up liking this photo the most out of the series I shot. I have been working on images that take advantage of the light just before and just after sunset. I really like the …

Backpacking in the Wallowa Mountains.
Our tent near dusk at horseshoe lake in the Wallowa Mountains. Backpacking in the Wallowa Mountains is always an adventure. I am very glad that I was able to return to the mountains this year. It is a great adventure, and also an incredible struggle. The remote scenic beauty however makes the entire struggle worth it. It would be easy to say that Marina and I over packed for this excursion. We carried to backpacking backpacks full …
The Oregon Territory
West Coast Trip On Wednesday August 29th 2012 I am planning on packing up my Camry once more and heading out on a trip spanning the west coast. I have already started the process of gearing up and packing. I am really excited to get back out on the road to travel camp and create some media. This trip will span the west coast of the US. First I am driving north, moving slowly …
Girl at the Gum Wall
This is an image that I am pretty happy with. I really do not have much experience with street photography, so I was happy when my film came back with a clear, focused and well exposed image here. The girl was running to meet with the rest of her family down the hill. I like the subject. I like the background, and I like how the rest of the elements in the image work together. …
