"High Ground was made on the Pacific Crest Trail, approaching a summit near Sonora Pass. Climbing toward the top, I am always looking out and searching for where the ridge ends. Often I point the camera down to open up a wide valley, but here I looked up directly into the sun just as it was peeking over the ridgeline. It reminds me of the difficulty of backpacking through the Sierra or trail running, when so many times you are looking up the trail with the end so close, but always just a bit further." ~ Gavin McChesney

Gavin McChesney is drawn to the severity of line, contrast, and structure. Photojournalism taught him to look for relationships and moments, rather than simply beautiful subjects. That instinct still shapes the way he photographs the natural world. 

Note, framing options coming soon! Pending availability, there may be a 1-2 week delay to complete custom framing or custom printing of unframed photographs.
