Aiming to launch the new TreyRatcliff.com towards the end of next week… can it be achieved? I hope so! In the meantime, here’s one of the fine art images from the current site.
I think that it’s likely that when most people think of Ibiza they think of drinking, dancing and generally craziness. What they maybe don’t realise is that the island has some fantastically character filled coastline. Here’s a little chunk of it at sunset.
So many moments at Burning Man are fleeting, just like this. I was lining up my shot through the dust with the silhouette of the cool art and then, out of nowhere, there was the rider and their bike. Before I knew it, they were gone, disappeared into the cloud never to be seen again.
I’m knee deep in a redesign of the Fine Art site and it’s been a lot of fun to see how we can reimagine it for the new Web 3.0 era while retaining some focus on the physical prints which are just as important. While that’s ongoing, here’s one of my favorites from Series 1. It was one which I loved seeing produced at 2.5meters across. It’s like you can step into it and I love that… even more so when up close because the whole thing almost envelops you.
If you ever make it to China, try to take a week or so to explore the more rural areas. Some of my best adventures have been outside Beijing, Shanghai and the like. Even the Great Wall is in many ways better in the more overgrown parts. Here in Phoenix Ancient Town (Fenghuang Ancient Town) I wandered for hours. Regardless of the time of day there was something amazing to photograph.
The Temple of Heaven is one of the most famous pilgrimage destinations for Chinese people who come to Beijing to visit structures upon the central axis. It was originally built in the 1400’s. I was invited by the Chinese government to come take special photos of their most important structures, so I was lucky enough to have the military let me into these places early while no one else was around. On this same trip, I was also arrested by the military for flying my drone over the “Forbidden City,” but that is a longer story that ended up with a hilarious ending. Obviously, I made it out of Chinese prison… one of my greatest accomplishments.

I was looking through my portfolio for a project and stumbled across this image which I don’t think I’ve ever shared on the blog. Somehow it slipped through the cracks! Speaking of projects, check back tomorrow for something new!
5:30 AM. Alarm goes off. It’s always painful. People that say they are “morning people” — I think they are lying. But, when in a beautiful place like here along the Pacific Coast Highway in California, I always force myself, military style, to pop out of bed. On this occasion, my room had a little fireplace and everything which made it even harder to get out of bed! After I got downstairs, I started a little hike to get a good vantage of the coast and the sunrise.

This place in Yellowstone is awe-inspiring and huge. Want to know how huge? Look at those people standing there on the boardwalk towards the top. To get this angle, I had to walk up an uncharted hill/mountain thing that looked a lot easier on Google Maps to ascend than in reality.

My friend Helga has been wonderful enough to invite me to her farm in Iceland many times. It’s always a fun trip up to the north to see her. But I always get a little lost. Finding the particular turn-in along this fjord is constantly a source of confusion, especially at night. I don’t know why it is so difficult to me, because after I get there, it is plain as day. And I’m sure all Icelanders think I am crazy… but it’s like a hidden door, fey and fleeting with the light, and you can only see it during certain portals of time.
