Waterfalls in Southern California are a very infrequent experience. Most of the natural falls here appear ever so briefly after a series of storms hit the area. But when we get a wet winter you find some scenes that seem so foreign to a normally arid region. Last weekend I took a break from preparing for my upcoming wedding to do a little hike in the Santa Monica Mountains with my brothers. One of my all-time favorite locations to visit, […]
I know I am late to the party for looking back on 2022, but better late than never. It was a year full of new adventures both photographically and personally. Opportunities arose last year to visit two places I had never been before which are both feature prominently in this years collection. Below are 10 favorite photos of 2022 in no particular order. You can read a little about each photo below. Or if you prefer to just look at […]
Last Tuesday I was caught off guard when my Instagram started going crazy while I was getting my kids ready for school. To my surprise my “Worn Contours” photo was chosen as runner up in the Abstracts category of Natural Landscape Photography 2022 Awards. I am extremely honored to be included in such an exquisite collection of photos and photographers. Congrats to all the winners! I highly recommend you check out the contest results. As for the image itself, it […]
There are photos you plan, research, and refine; then there are ones you fall into and just say “wow”! This one is the latter. In fact had I not turned around while hiking to another interesting formation I probably would not have seen it at all. I am so grateful I did! Actually, I capture this outcropping, that I have affectionately called the “Brooding Black Knight” earlier so I thought I was done. Normally I don’t look for figures or […]

Reflecting on the past 12 months photographically is one of the things look forward to doing this time of year. Reviewing what I did helps me get perspective of what I have experienced and achieved. Realizing where I have changed and what I would do differently for the upcoming year. 2021 may not have been as disruptive as it’s predecessor, but it was by no means a normal year. Yes, I did do more work, traveled a bit more, but […]
It’s that time of year where I look back on the images that defined the past year. My best images of 2021 will actually go out later this week. Right now I am focusing on the gems I uncovered in my back catalog of work this year. Last year I decided to revive this list and I thought I would keep it going this year as well. It wasn’t as prolific of a list as 2020, but it’s still a […]

I was honored to find out one of my photos, Colter Bay at Sunset, was selected as an honorable mention winner in Westways’ 2021 Photo Contest. This photo was one of the highlights from our two-week family trip this summer that spanned 8 states, 5 national parks, 3 national monuments, and 3 state parks. The crux of the trip was family celebrations. We started the trip celebrating a 50th anniversary for Heidi’s parents and ended it with a 75th birthday […]
It’s that time of year again when I look back on the year that was for me photographically, my best photos of 2020. This is my sixth year of posting my personal favorites and I thought I would switch up the format from previous years. This year I am going to share a little story or anecdote about the importance of the image to me and how it shaped or was shaped by events in 2020. As for the year […]
