Moon Magic

The full moon fuses with river mist on a clear winter night. Absolutely my favorite kind of light: fleeting, unpredictable, cosmic...I could go on and on, but when It happens and I'm in a position to photograph it, it reinforces and reminds me why I was drawn to photography in the first place. Its easy to lose oneself in these moments and I'm always grateful for the experience.

Winter Sleep

I spent 30 minutes shooting this white oak through my car window while my 18 month old son snoozed in the back seat.

Through the Looking Glass

I was huddled under a tree waiting out the rain and hoping for some better light when my dog ran up to this juniper.

Bonsai

A small maple grows out of a lush hillside carpeted with succulents and wildflowers. The wind from a nearby waterfall created a lot of movement in the nearby trees but spared the smaller and more distant maple.
