Evening Light, Cowlitz Chimneys, Mount Rainier NP, Washington, USA
I live just over a two-hour drive from the park, and the Sunrise visitor area, in particular, is a popular evening hangout for me during the summer months. Typically, Sunrise is open from late June to early October most years. On this particular evening, I took a short hike from the visitor center up to […]
Mount Everest From Rongbuk Monastery, Rongbuk, Shigatse Prefecture, Tibet
Since my teenage years, I’ve been fascinated by the pre-World War II British expeditions to climb Mount Everest. In 2019, I was excited to participate in a photo workshop in the region. This trip allowed us our closest approach to Everest, as only those with climbing permits can venture further down the glacial valley to […]
A Foggy Beach Along The Oregon Coast, USA
On the beauty of the beach shrouded in gentle fog, I arrived in my car and left my shoes and socks beneath the steering wheel. I walked down to the beach, first navigating through the dry sand before reaching the wet sand. My toes curled into the soft, wet sand, leaving a faint trail behind […]
Sunrise With Mist, Crete Senesi, Tuscany, Italy
As I’ve written several times throughout the year, I often travel to the Lands of Siena. The last time I was there was late January. I was looking for new inspiration for my next workshop, but that morning, the air was shrouded in a very thick fog. I couldn’t see anything, so I decided to […]

West Clear Creek Wilderness, Arizona, USA
Part of living in Phoenix is knowing there is a certain amount of suffering that comes with making it through the summer months. High temperatures routinely around 110°F take most outdoor activities off the table, sending active Valley residents all over the state seeking respite from the heat. One such oasis is West Clear Creek, […]
Smith Mine Disaster Site, Red Lodge, Carbon County, MT, USA
We’d just had lunch in Red Lodge, at Piccolo Cucina, and were on our way out of town when we stopped at a nice pull-over that turned out to be a spot where the old dirt roads led to the site of the Smith Mine disaster in 1943. It was the worst mine disaster in […]
Piana di Castelluccio di Norcia, Italy
It was my first time in Castelluccio di Norcia. That place is famous for two things: its flowers and its lentils. When I arrive in a popular location, my goal is to create something different, and that’s not easy in a relatively small and similar setting like Pian Grande. It was late afternoon, and the […]
