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.
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.
The Quiet Between
Alone in the Ibex Dunes after 36 hours without seeing another soul, I wandered the winter desert without expectation—until a rising moon and two simple bushes quietly aligned to create something beautiful. This image is about stillness, subtlety, and the kind of silence that presses in like a presence.
Winter’s Quiet at Valley View
I caught Yosemite in a rare multi-day storm, transforming Valley View into a winter wonderland. Fresh snow draped the rocks and trees, with El Capitan rising majestically in the background. The stillness of the morning, broken only by the Merced River, was a reminder of why I return to these iconic places. Nature’s quiet moments are where I find my inspiration.
The Outlier
Discover the serene beauty of Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park through a striking black and white photograph of a unique, crooked fir tree standing out against taller, straighter trees by a reflective pond. Perfect for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts, this image encapsulates the tranquil yet dynamic essence of Yosemite's less-traveled paths.
