Welcome Party, White Pocket, Arizona, USA

This image invites viewers into the heart of Arizona’s geological wonders. Taken during moonlight, two towering rock formations rose before my eyes like sentinels under a textured desert sky, flanking a winding sandstone path that drew my eye inward. I was captivated by the warm accents of ochre, rust, and golden tones, contrasting against the […]

Madera Canyon, AZ, has been one of my recent favorite spots to capture images.

This photograph was a result of my time working for the Appalachian Conservation Corps in Virginia.

There are many possibilities for photography there: the church itself, inside and out; the surrounding landscape; and some Native American stalls with food for sale by the parking lots.

Dubai To Oman Adventure

Dubai To Oman Adventure

Photo taken on an excursion from Dubai in the UAE to Oman. An extraordinary arid landscape, apart from this man-made reservoir. The heat was intense, so plenty of water and sunscreen are highly recommended. The light allowed for ISO 100 and a fast shutter speed. The location is accessible from Dubai by 4×4 vehicle and […]
