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.
The Power of Perspective
Photography is shaped by perspective. In Hokkaido, one tree and six frames showed how small compositional choices can completely change the story we tell.
Hiking to the Diving Board, Yosemite National Park
On the third day of my Yosemite trip, I set out for the Diving Board—an iconic but rarely visited overlook that offers solitude, scale, and a view that’s hard to beat. It took some effort to get there, but the experience was unforgettable and the start of something bigger.
Sequoias, Snow and a Raven
Sequoia National Park transforms into another world under a blanket of snow. In this blog, I share the story of photographing a grove of giant sequoias during a winter storm, including a surprise visitor—a raven—that brought the scene to life.
The Outlier
