Sneak peek of my latest project, "Terra Incognita". It is a meditation on departure, estrangement, and the unstable geography of home.

Most people go to Pfeiffer Beach for the pink sand. I spent most of my time with this wind-shaped cypress instead.

Wood waves. Beautiful how the same patterns repeat everywhere, isn’t it?

Low-contrast ocean landscape along the California coast, with soft, misty light blending sea and sky.

I quietly sat and waited for the moment a wave met the rock at the center of the frame—now hidden. The California coast has a way of rewarding patience.

Waterfall on the Olympic Peninsula. I experimented with exposure times and landed on this one—soft flow, but with individual streams still visible. How do you like to photograph moving water?

Fog drifts over a wide river on the Olympic Peninsula, with dark, fast-moving water in the foreground and a rocky riverbank leading to leafless and late-autumn trees fading into mist. Muted greens, grays, and soft gold tones dissolve into the fog, obscuring the forested hills beyond.

Anyone else settling into a photographic theme this year?
I didn’t plan one, but fog keeps showing up—here's to 2026!

Moss-covered trees and dense green understory in the Hoh Rainforest, with soft light and mist filtering through the canopy in Olympic National Park.

Everyone visits the Hoh Rainforest in summer. But its true character lives in the wet months. Temperate rainforests are built on moisture and shade—conditions that turn fallen trees into nurseries and forests into layered systems of life.

Foggy mountain landscape in the Pacific Northwest, with tall evergreen trees fading into mist and soft gray clouds obscuring the distant ridgeline.

Yes, living in the PNW can be dreary. It's wet, gray, and relentless. But it’s also atmospheric, contemplative, and breathtaking in ways that sunnier places never are.
