On March 11th the front of a major storm system hit Santa Cruz and brought a wonderfully-textured pink and purple sunset with it. I hit the beach looking for waves but never imagined I would find one carved naturally in the sand.
Taken in Wilder Ranch State Park on March 11th, 2012 On March 11th the front of a major storm system hit Santa Cruz and brought a wonderfully-textured pink and purple sunset with it. I hit the beach looking for waves but never imagined I would find one carved naturally in the sand. When I shoot […]
“The mosquitoes will eat you alive.” 2011 had been an extremely snowy year in the Sierra and the massive snowpack was keeping the meadows marshy and bugs buggy a full month later than usual. As I chugged my way up the Blue Lake trail into the Eastern Sierras’ Sabrina Basin that refrain kept ringing in […]
I’m undertaking an exciting new commercial project with my friend Diego Tabango to photograph film composer Mark Mancina’s astounding collection of beautiful hand-made guitars. Diego and I will be spending three days at Mark’s recording studio in Carmel, California in order to shoot an initial 20 guitars. This is looking to be a very fun, […]
For me the best things in life are traveling and taking pictures. This April, for the first time in four years I have the opportunity to go on a international photo trip. I spent a lot of time thinking about possible destinations: I could go somewhere iconic in the photography world like Iceland, Patagonia, or […]
Not everything is Epic, and that’s okay. Are we in such a rush to produce The Next Great Image that we forget that conditions aren’t always astounding? Lackluster sky? No problem, we say, I’ll just add a heaping helping of contrast in photoshop. Now it’s Epic! Forest colors aren’t quite as rich as we hoped? […]
It’s easy to look at an image and see it in a vacuum. But what of the deeper context, where did the image actual come from? In this video I show you a little bit of what goes on behind the scenes in producing a seascape photo.
Step behind the lens to see how this compelling seascape photo was made. I run through my thoughts on how I created this image before, during, and after I pressed the shutter button.
The Sierra high country is timeless. These granite mountains, these meadows, and even this tree sentinel have been here longer than I’ve been alive and will be here much longer after I am gone. They stand day after day, month after month, year after year. Not waiting for anything, not expecting anything. No deadlines, no […]
It all started before Christmas when I saw a video of people ice skating on a frozen Tenaya Lake in Yosemite’s high country. Wow, that’s cool, that doesn’t happen very often, I thought. Then, about halfway through the video, the filmer unwittingly showed something that had my eyes bugging out of my head: thick and […]
For me January represents a time not only of looking forward to the excitement and challenges of the New Year, but also a time to look back upon the great memories, photos, and growth of the past 12 months. 2011 was my best year yet as a photographer, both in terms of business success as […]
Reflecting on 2011 2011 was an interesting year for me which saw a lot of growth for me as a photographer as well for my photography business.
