I’m a amateur nature and landscape photographer, part-time architecture admirer, abstract dabbler, and accidental black-and-white artist catching the fleeting moments where light, texture, and wonder collide, with a side of “What happens is I press this"

A wide panoramic view of Canyonlands National Park in Utah, showing the Colorado River winding through deep red rock canyons and layered sandstone mesas, with a small tree and rocky ledge in the foreground under a calm blue sky.

A black and white macro photograph of a leaf filling the frame. Fine veins run across the surface like contour lines on a map, while soft highlights and deep shadows create the impression of ridges and valleys, resembling a miniature topographic landscape.

Not a fan of the icy cold, so I pulled out the macro lens for a little exploration at the conservatory.

Just trying to overcome cabin fever from the 13 inches of snow. Off to the conservatory today. Hope you're doing well too

Thanks, Cliff! It was my first time visiting the Olympic coast last year. Definitely a place I want to visit again.

2026 Project 52 - 5 #RicketsGlen is a fascinating place. There are so many magnificent #waterfalls that by the time you get to the end you're bored of waterfalls.

Rocky sea stacks rise from a calm Pacific shoreline at low tide, with a tree-covered island and smooth wet sand reflecting the soft morning light under a clear blue sky.

A little of both. With Chihuly, I like to isolate pieces of the whole and bring attention to them so that they can be appreciated. Same with a certain architect we both love to photograph. 😁

Black and white infrared image of sea stacks at Rialto Beach in Olympic National Park. Towering rock formations rise from the Pacific Ocean, adorned with small trees and surrounded by tidal rocks under a dramatic, cloud-filled sky.

An abstract photograph of distorted reflections on a metallic architectural surface of the Museum of Pop Culture, glowing with fiery red, orange, and golden tones. The curved panels ripple with light, resembling flames or molten lava patterns.

Black and white photograph of a steel grid structure shot from below, with sunflare beaming through the top left. A lone bird perches on a horizontal beam near the center, while the grid continues in complex patterns into the background.

A solitary leafless tree stands in a windswept prairie under a brooding, cloud-filled sky. Captured in infrared black and white, the glowing grass and distant trees create an ethereal contrast with the dark, dramatic clouds above, evoking a sense of quiet solitude and stillness.

A springtime woodland waterfall flows over moss-covered rocks into a gentle stream, surrounded by bright green foliage and layered stone cliffs. The long exposure smooths the cascading water, adding a soft, tranquil feel to the lush forest scene.

False-color infrared photo taken with a 590nm filter, showing a historic wooden grist mill beside a rushing waterfall. The surrounding trees glow with pale blue and white foliage, creating a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere. A covered bridge spans the river upstream, and golden highlights in the water contrast with the cool-toned landscape.
