Photography represents an amalgam of science and art.  Creative applications of imaging technology give us new views of nature.  This site combines the technical aspects of photography with the joys of visual arts and discovery.  In order to pursue a career in science that would bring me into contact with the nature, I studied meteorology and oceanography at M.I.T. and received a graduate degree 1970.  I am a professor at the University of Colorado where our group performs laboratory and theoretical research on the fluid dynamics of atmospheric and planetary circulations.  I teach courses in weather science and oceanography.  Our research projects are described in the scientific literature, and contain many examples of the use photographic flow visualization methods to unravel the complexities of geophysical turbulence.  The CrystalCanyons  website was developed to share various adventures and techniques in scientific and nature photography with students of the outdoors, with anyone who might want to try a new photographic method, as well as with those who just appreciate  the photographic art-form. 
I am most grateful to my son,  Davis Hart, for doing all the graphic design and programming on this site when he was a sophomore at Grinnell College.  His formulation and implementation of the database-driven server-side 3D formatter is a first, and quite an accomplishment.
Thanks for visiting.
