If you are going to the Redwood Empire Fair in Ukiah this weekend, swing by the Fine Arts building and check out the photo exhibit. I entered 8 photos and took home 6 first place ribbons and 2 second place ribbons, with one of my photos taking home Best In Show and Best In Division honors! #redwoodempirefair #bestinshow #ukiah #ukiahca #mendo #mendocinocounty

Here is my first processed image from a recent photo workshop in Washington with @j.snow_photo in spectacular @olympic_nps. A beautiful night spent at Rialto Beach standing in the surf and taking in the gorgeous scene in front of us.

Hey everyone. My friend and photography mentor @j.snow_photo experienced a tragic event over the weekend. He posted an update this morning and I’m hoping you’ll check it out and consider supporting Josh by purchasing a print, buying one of his photo tutorials, or booking a workshop. Josh is an amazing photographer and artist and has an incredible body of work to choose from. More importantly, he’s a great guy. I hope you’ll consider supporting him and his craft. All pertinent details are in the link below. Thanks for considering!

Stopped at Mt Rainier National Park on the way home from a photo workshop on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. I stopped and got a shot of beautiful Christine Falls. If you’re not looking for it, you drive right over it — literally!

Last call for calendars!! 

This elf is about to close up his workshop. If you are interested in one of my 2023 calendars, send me a DM by the end of the week! 

As a reminder, I have two sizes available this year. The large size is 11x17 (two 8.5x11 pages) and is $25. The small size is one vertical 8.5x11 page and is $20. Pictures of each are included in this post. If you have questions, let me know!

If you’ve already ordered, I will be in touch very soon to arrange pickup. Thank you for your support!

Someone asked if I had a smaller version of my calendar. I didn’t, but I do now! Using the same images as the larger version, this small version is one sheet of letter size paper, vertically oriented and bound at the top. If you like something a bit more minimalist, this is your best bet! Taking orders now. $20 each.

My photo calendar is back for 2023 and better than ever! This year I went back to the drawing board and redesigned the layout from the ground up and for the first time ever, I am printing and assembling the calendars myself! The result is a higher quality, more customized final product featuring high-quality images printed on glossy photo paper. The calendar looks amazing, and I can’t wait to share it with you!

This year’s calendar features 12 of my favorite shots from the past year, including seven photos from Mendocino County, and five from my travels throughout the year. I feel a few of this year’s featured photos are some of the best shots I’ve ever taken. 

Cost is $25 each. **New for this year -- If you buy 3 or more calendars, take $5 off! If you buy 5 or more calendars, take $10 off!**

Taking pre-orders now and hope to have the first batch ready within a couple of weeks. To order, please direct message me. 

I’m also happy to answer any questions you have. Thank you for your support!

I took this photo on my photo workshop in the Eastern Sierras this summer. After being up very late into the night shooting the Milky Way, we got up before any hint of light in the sky to catch the early morning blue hour light on the arch. After capturing those images, we backed up and watched as the sun rose behind us, casting its light on the Sierra mountain range in front of us, creating the beautiful alpine glow. 

It was a gorgeous morning and a reminder that sometimes as photographers, we just have to be present, take in the scene, watch the beautiful moment unfold in front of us and press the shutter.

I scouted this shot the night before when I saw this gorgeous golden hour light just before sunset. The light was better the next night when I returned to take the photo. A gorgeous night on the California Coast. This is the shot I was engrossed in taking when I then turned around and saw the full moon rising behind me and I took that shot also. Two great compositions in one night — can’t beat that.

Moonrise on the Mendocino Coast. I was busy photographing the sunset (pic to be posted later) and turned around to leave, without knowing what was happening behind me, to see this beautiful composition with the moon rising in a purple sky. Sometimes you just get lucky!

Had fun playing with my new toy this week. Drones give a whole new perspective to familiar places! And if you look close in the last photo, you can find me in a “Where’s Waldo” moment!

Another gorgeous night under the stars in the Alabama Hills. Nothing makes you feel more small and grounded then looking up into the night sky and realizing just how big this universe is. Blessed to get a glimpse once in a while.

As we reach the end of 2021, here are my personal favorite shot of the year and my most liked photo of the year. 

We had to work quite hard to get up a very long, hot trail on the side of a hill while getting baked by the June Utah sun to get the photo of Delicate Arch in Arches National Park. You can’t see the arch until you get to the very end of the trail, and that view makes it all worth it! I love the colors, the clouds, and the snow-flecked Rocky Mountains making an appearance in the background. It’s my favorite photo of 2021.

My most liked photo of the year is of the famous Watchman peak at sunset in Zion National Park. Zion is a magical place, and its colors are on full display at sunset. And, showing how fickle Mother Nature can be, the bridge I am standing on taking that photo was completely submerged under flood waters about two weeks after this shot was taken. 

Here’s to more travel, adventure, and beautiful photos in 2022! Happy New Year!
