2025 Photography Rewind
January 18, 2026  |  Depends On The Day

This year I was fortunate to travel a fair bit both for workshops and for personal. Planes, trains, automobiles, and even a boat (aka ferry). For those who are new to my yearly rewind of looking back, it does certainly have photography but I go beyond that...

March 1, 2025  |  Havana, Cuba

It was February last year and I received a text from a long-time friend's brother saying get ready we are headed to Havana, Cuba next January for his brother's birthday! The first thing I thought was all the interesting cars, people, buildings, food, and culture to see and photograph...

December 29, 2024  |  A Few Places

Here we are only days away from the end of 2024 as I type this out. It would be odd to not have the bounds of time like the start and end of a year to personally reflect on what has taken place and look ahead at what is to come...

December 31, 2023  |  From Here to There

Why do I like this ritual of reviewing and then sharing my favorite photos of the year? Most of all it's a chance to see in one place where I was fortunate enough to visit and the work I processed...

July 10, 2023  |  Death Valley National Park, California

It was the usual damp wet February weather at home and I was busily packing for my first photography trip to Death Valley National Park. The plan was to camp which means being more strategic on what I need, and what I don't...

Everywhere

Normally my blog posts looking back at the year are short on text and focused solely on where my photographic adventures went. Strap in if you want to read this years recap as it will be a little longer as I share some personal changes and stories...

Alaska Glacier Ice
Alaska Glacier Ice
September 2022  |  Alaska

Based on a comprehensive survey conducted in 2011, it was documented that Alaska is home to approximately 27,000 glaciers. While that number sounds impressive we know that it's possibly a smaller number only a decade later and that the vast majority of glaciers today are retreating rather than growing...

August 18, 2024  |  Kansas

This June, I spent a couple of weeks leading a tour and scouting for a future one. Much of that time was spent in the Great Plains, more specifically Nebraska and Kansas.

Timing was on my side this day. We were driving through Utah as a family in spring 2019 during our second desert southwest campervan trip. Well before this trip our kids asked casually one evening at the dinner table why we hadn't gone to Disneyland yet...

Kauai is a an amazingly diverse island for how small it is, one I have been fortunate to be able to visit over the years starting back in 2003 on the first trip where I proposed to my then girlfriend, and now wife...

November 19, 2023  |  Torrey Pines, California

This was the first time I can recall photographing an agave plant. I was captivated by the beauty of the colorful tips on each leaf along with the subtle pattern of the serrated edges seen on each leaf.
