Crater Lake National Park has, despite its relatively small size, got to be one of my favourite National Parks, despite only having visited it once, in winter.

However, nobody told me that July is the mosquito season in the Cascade Mountains in Oregon, and when they say mosquito season, they mean it!

At dusk, when I wanted to be photographing, there were literally swarms of them flying around. Approximately 25% of my photos have at least one blurry mosquito visible in the shot. Despite getting into the car as quickly as possible to move between locations, every time I would end up with 10-20 mosquitoes in there with me -- thankfully with a convertible I could drop the roof and drive off, before screeching to a halt half a mile down the road and quickly putting the roof back up!

To say I was rather itchy for the next few days would be an understatement.

Despite all that, I highly recommend anyone passing anywhere near Crater Lake National Park to go -...

Born in the UK, I moved to Vancouver, BC in 2011. My career in photography has grown from a long-held passion for capturing the beauty of the world, aided on the technical side by my background as a software developer. I specialise in fine art photography of landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes in and around the Pacific Northwest, with work exhibited internationally. Many of my photographs feature the beautiful city of Vancouver, but as well as capturing its iconic cityscapes, I can often be found exploring the BC and Washington coastline for new photographic opportunities, as well as developing my portfolio of night sky photographs featuring the Milky Way and the Aurora Borealis.
