My Thoughts, Ramblings and Ideas
Welcome to the journal — not quite a blog, not quite a notebook. Just a quiet space where I can put words to the images I create and share stories from the road. Sometimes it's a reflection, sometimes a glimpse behind the scenes, and sometimes it's just the thoughts that surface after a long hike, a quiet camp, or time spent off the beaten path.
Think of it as a place to wander — through landscapes, ideas, and whatever else the journey stirs up.
Two Days in Yosemite | Hiking to Yosemite Point
In January, I took a quick solo trip to Yosemite to explore a few places I hadn’t seen before—including Yosemite Point. It was my first time hiking the Upper Yosemite Falls Trail, and the views completely blew me away. I filmed parts of the experience and put together a short video that captures the quiet beauty of those two days.
Winter’s Gateway
A soft snowfall, two quiet trees, and a final frame that almost didn’t happen. Winter’s Gateway captures the fleeting beauty of winter in San Diego’s Mount Laguna and the quiet reward of going just a little further.
~Aeolian Dunes No. 16 - Swept and Sheltered~
A new addition to my Aeolian Dunes series—this image captures a moment of contrast in Death Valley, where blowing sand and stillness meet under bold desert light.
Aeolian Dunes No. 15 - Layers of Light and Form
Captured during a solo trip to Death Valley’s remote Ibex Dunes, this black and white photograph highlights the contrast between light and shadow across layered sand formations. With wind sweeping through the desert and soft evening light shaping the landscape, the image captures a bold, dramatic moment shaped by wind, light, and shifting terrain.
Stillness at Fort Rosecrans
Created on a foggy afternoon at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, this black and white photograph captures a quiet moment of stillness and reflection. A solitary tree stands centered among fading headstones, offering a subtle but powerful invitation to pause.
