View fullsize A simple coastal scene at the end of a long day wandering in the rainforest. I was distracted for awhile by the fiery sunset before noticing how the incoming tide interacted with the rock formations on the beach creating fleeting compositions.
View fullsize An old friend revisited many times. We had so many conversations, sometimes lofty, sometimes small and vulnerable, always engaging. Just when I think I have them figured out, they reveal a new perspective, a facet hidden to most everyone else.
View fullsize A particularly cold morning at a favorite little lake spot tucked away next to a bigger, more popular lake. These frozen reflections called to me after what was already a fun, productive morning. Not what I was expecting to find, but those are usuall
View fullsize I love the different size and time scales at which nature operates. Microscopic to macroscopic. Instantaneous to eonic. Everything more or less a series of patterns and periods no matter the scale. Of course, our general experience of these scales is
View fullsize Warm and cool layers of pristine rolling dunes at sunrise.
View fullsize A long overdue repost of a previous image. Re-processed after some excellent feedback from @bennettfilm and @davidthompsonphotography in one of Eric's group critique sessions. If you haven't already done one of Eric's critique sessions (or even if yo
View fullsize A backlit mossy tree surely passed by countless travelers going somewhere or another.
View fullsize Warm light paints rows of grasses on a cool winter evening. A scene overlooked at first then spotted on the periphery. My favorite kind.
View fullsize In avalanche class we learned that surface hoar can make for a dangerous layer in the snow pack. These feather-like structures form on cold, clear nights like frozen dew, and they can support quite a bit of weight. But even a small section of them fa
View fullsize A delicate arrangement of frozen grasses protruding out of a barely frozen pond, tucked away in an isolated cirque, created in an overnight freeze, melted away within a few hours, and buried in snow within a few days.
View fullsize Wandering through a small slot canyon I came upon this curious place. I had already had a nice trip to some dunes, so it was one of those bonus excursions where it's even easier to explore without any expectations. This scene immediately caught my ey
View fullsize Here is another small scene that I almost overlooked, even when moving slowly. I spent close to an hour finding just the right perspective to tell the story of these two fiddlehead ferns. What story (or stories) do you see here?
View fullsize Scenes like this are what keep me coming back and what make me realize I am only just starting to see. Almost overlooked entirely, I only noticed this tangle of old growth because I was already stopped after seeing a different small scene while movin
View fullsize A small slice of desert in my own backyard. Makes me want to get back to Death Valley, but also makes me appreciate what my own state has to offer, especially when I get off the beaten path. It's amazing what you can find once you let go of expectati
View fullsize Howdy, has been awhile 👋 Here's a scene captured in a nearby temperate rainforest. The swirl of moss-laden old growth branches caught my eye with this one. This image is one of many from an awe-inspiring trip full of challenges and triumphs tryin
View fullsize Have been unable to get into the field the last few weeks due to an injury, but have been able to go back through the archives and process some older images. It's funny how you can see your old images in new ways as your experience and skills grow ov
View fullsize I have never been great at telling stories with words, and when I first started learning about the concept of visual storytelling, it seemed like even more of a challenge. I am trying to get better at both forms, but one aspect I love about visual st
View fullsize A cold morning spent wandering around a soggy lake shore trying to appreciate the details.
View fullsize No matter what time of year or time of day, the Oregon Coast has no shortage of drama. There are so many little coves and cliffs to explore, even if only through a telephoto lens.
View fullsize Early mornings at Smith Rock are some of my favorite experiences. Hanging out down by the Crooked River is simply magical. The whole place comes alive with all manner of birds waking up and stirring about. As the sun creeps up sky it floods the space
