About Me

My photo
I grew up and still reside in the Puget Sound region of Washington State in the beautiful Pacific Northwest where I have always shared a love of the outdoors with a hidden passion for photography. In 2009, after years of sitting at a desk, I escaped from my cubicle so I could spend more time working behind the camera. My new office is a Jeep and I can typically be found scouting locations on the road or on a life-changing journey such as the 42-day, 6,700 mile road trip I took in the fall of 2010 down the Pacific Coast and over to the Grand Canyon. Completely self-taught, my photographic vision stems from an adventurous spirit, overactive imagination and naturally restless soul that are constantly evolving through discovery and execution. My primary interests are landscapes and nature but honestly, I'll shoot anything that catches my eye. I’m proud to display my view of the world within. I hope you like what I’ve done with the place.

One of the Coolest Waterfalls in Washington State

I discovered this waterfall early last winter while exploring Mt. Baker. It was nearly dark when this shot was taken. Definitely one of my favorites:

HDR View From My Deck

Last night's sunset was pretty amazing. I set up my tripod on my deck and fired off 5-6 bracketed shots and then went to work in Photomatix & Photoshop to produce the image below. I prefer a natural looking HDR image and I think the black & white conversion was perfect. The osprey flying by was just sheer luck.

Fisherman in the Mist

One of my all time favorites. I took this shot days after I moved into my house two years ago almost to the day. This morning I woke up pretty early and saw nearly the identical scene minus the fisherman and it moved me to post this shot.

Fun in the Sun at Rachel Creek

I spent the day up near Lake Kachess recently. This was one of our favorite spots in high school. There is a waterfall on Rachel Creek that forms a pool which is perfect for jumping into on a hot summer day. While I was there a nice family showed up and I was able to capture a few shots of the kids having fun. Enjoy!
