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.

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.
