Thank you for visiting Steve Cole Photography. My photography focuses on the Cascade Mountain Range in Washington and Oregon. From old growth forests to rugged mountains, the Cascades are a photographer’s paradise. My favorite places to explore and photograph are the Mount Baker region and Glacier Peak Wilderness in the North Cascades of Washington State.

Photography has been a hobby of mine since childhood. In recent years, I used it as a way to remember my hiking and backpacking trips. As my photographic collection grew, I began receiving kudos for my photos from those who I shared them with. Looking at my own photos, I realized that most people will never witness the places and things I have seen. Ultimately, I made the decision to share my photography.

Mountain landscapes are my favorite subject. The combination of rugged rock, snow, and meadows is a sight that I never seem to get tired of viewing. The arrival of winter onto that landscape completely transforms it into something very foreign. As vast as landscapes can be, I also find interest in more intimate scenes of the native flora. Although not a dedicated wildlife photographer, I have been blessed with being in the right place at the right time on a few occasions and hope that luck continues.

The photographs you see are essentially the same view I experienced at the time I took the photograph. I have not used any color filters or extensive “post processing” on my photographs. Details about ordering prints can be found on my Ordering Info page. The older photographs in my collection were taken with either an Olympus C2020-Z or Casio EX-Z850 digital camera. Recently, I added a Pentax K10d digital SLR into my gear bag.
