leapin26's photostream
|
I am a self-taught photographer, constantly learning and striving to improve my technique. I am an avid hiker, and love the outdoors and everything in God's wonderful creation. I like attempting to catch something of that beauty on camera, and sharing it for others to see as well. I especially enjoy visiting waterfalls. There is something alluring about falling water that strikes a deep chord within. I have now seen over 400 waterfalls in the western U.S. and Canada, and maintain a website to share my waterfall experiences. I currently live in sunny Folsom, California, with my lovely wife, Tara, silly little boy, Jadon, and beautiful girl, Nekoda.

Buck Forester says:
"I first saw Leon's photos a few years ago, and they were primarily documentation photos of waterfalls. I think he's been to every single waterfall in the State of California! They were always very pretty photos, but over the course of time I have seen his photography turn from nice shots documenting waterfalls to incredible works of art... and in many cases his images of popular waterfalls are the best I've seen. His 2008 waterfall calendar www.waterfallswes... is gorgeous! This is waterfall photography at its finest. His landscapes are stunning too. I dig this stuff."

"Leon is the waterfall king and I am thankful for his sharing his passion with all of us on the Web . Check out his photos and marvel at the splendid compositions and wide variety of his waterfall discoveries, especially in Northern California. Make sure you also check out his site, www.waterfallswes..., he has done a tremendous job - it is a wonderful resource for California photographers, hikers, and lovers of nature."

"I really enjoy Leon's work, and his waterfall stuff is outstanding. His site is quickly becoming my roadmap to find places to take pictures. I've seen a lot of books with pictures of waterfalls and how to get to them and Leon's stuff easily trumps them all. It's nice to see someone willing to hike 9 miles or more (one way sometimes) to take pictures. He's always been really great in clarifying where something is exactly. I enjoy his photos a lot."

"I've "known" Leon (leapin26) for a few years now and I've watch Leon get better and better with each press of the shutter! I've enjoyed looking through his PhotoStream regularly. If you haven't seen Leon's work at Flickr or his website (http://www.waterfallswest.com/gallery/), you must stop by!"
