Often trading snowshoes for hiking boots or a horse, he’s bushwhacked over little known passes with camera and note pad to find gems sparkling in the form of trout streams or bugling elk.
With the keen inner compass of an explorer and the eye of an artist, he’s captured the nuances that nature only reveals to those silly enough to awaken before dawn to stumble along in the dark on an uneven trail.
His articles have appeared in several magazines and he has penned two books on the subject with many more to come. Patrick has won numerous photography awards including some from the Professional Photographers of America.
