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.
Snow Day in San Diego
A heavy winter storm brought fresh snow to Mount Laguna, offering conditions most people would avoid—but for me, it provided a perfect day of clarity and creativity, embodied in this solitary Jeffrey Pine.
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.
Telling a Story in Three Frames: The Beauty of a Black Oak
Photography isn’t just about perfect conditions. In this blog post, I share how I embraced a snowstorm in Yosemite to capture a Black Oak tree in three unique ways: a wide environmental shot, a midrange perspective, and an intimate portrait. Explore the art of storytelling through photography.
