On a last minute work trip we got stuck on the runway, I had to take advantage of it and snap a quick photo. I love the endless feel while looking down the runway. So many adventures to be had and the unknown.

After an amazing birthday weekend in Lake Tahoe, some friends and I ventured to the top of the building to watch the fireworks for a perfect end to a perfect day.

While walking along Lake Tahoe, I came across this small inlet. It was called Secret Cove and is the only sanctioned nude beach on the eastern Nevada side of Lake Tahoe. There were 3 people sunbathing on the beach which is just below the bushes at the bottom of the picture. I respected their privacy and moved on.

First time to the area, and just drove around looking for colors. This mountain stuck out to me as a good focal point for the image, though the real interest lies below it in the orange foliage interspersed with the green pines.

The Sierra Nevada mountain range dominates the landscape between California and Nevada. On the eastern side of the range, you’ll find Mono Lake. This is a large, shallow soda lake that’s saltier than the ocean. Each year Mono Lake serves as an important resting stop for millions of migratory birds.

While driving from California to Montana, I noticed some nice clouds moving over a nearby mountain range. We pulled off Highway 80 for just a few moments to capture this image of the fresh snow dusting on the tops of the cloudy peaks.

Welcome Fall! It was the first snow of the season in Sierra Nevada, though on the last day of summer (9/22 is fall equinox). I spent my weekend in Bears Land, hiking and backpacking in wilderness.

Lichen on tall trees. Walking through the forest surrounding by these towering giants, I was inspired by the sheer amount of lichen clinging to the trees. I especially found the patterns it took on the trees, forming thick lines up the sides.

We were in June Lake for when Michaela had the great idea to try and capture the night sky. We opened up one of our apps that identifies the Milky Way, and we got excited when we saw it was behind the mountain outside our window. We immediately went to a spot where no cars really drive by, set up the tripod, and planned on taking an awesome timelapse. After the test shot finished up, we were disheartened with the clouded Milky Way. Rather than set up a timelapse, we settled for this photo that we grew to love. Life is beautiful, even when things don’t go how you plan.

After a long hike up through rain, snow and 20 degree temperature, I didn’t know what to expect when we reached Upper Cathedral Lake in Yosemite National Park. The clouds seemed to be pulling to the north so I adjusted my position hoping to keep them in frame for sunset. As I waited, a group of hikers came up to admire the view. One of them stepped out on the rocks to take it all in and I was able to capture this reflective moment.

We were on our way to mammoth mountain, when we stumbled upon two abandoned houses along the thruway. We stop to explore them and I was able to capture a perfect picture moment.

This photo was taken at the end of my 10 week road trip around the USA. The whole trip was filled with incredible views, but the is something very special about Yosemite National Park. The incredible size of the mountain range is hard to judge in a photo, it has to be seen in person be truly appreciated.

by far one of the most amazing views I have ever seen. The Tunnel view in Yosemite National Park does a great job putting g life into perspective and really showing how small we really are. Shot this 2 weeks ago just before it started raining. Its amazing how much water is in the valley right now.

I met this gentleman, who has been photographing Yosemite for the past 30 years, as I was about to leave the park. I could spend hours talking to him about photography, he explained to me how he uses the large format film camera, told me stories about old times and more. The work that he puts into his photos is amazing.

I was driving through Yosemite on my way back home when I saw this. It perfectly symbolized the cycle of life, with the new greenery exploding around the tall, charred trees that once were. There wasn’t anywhere to pull over, so I stopped, grabbed my camera and took a single shot. I’m glad it turned out.

Where am I going? I often know exactly where I am and where I want to go, but then look up and think, “How did I get here?” I trust my God, it’s my freewill I don’t trust. Or anyone else’s for that matter. When I’m in this place I feel like all I can think about is my God. I look at His creation and that’s all I can see. The clouds, the mountains, the brush, the cold, the snow, my wife. That last one is one of His finest creations. God help me to never take what You’ve created for granted. I don’t believe You made this so I could sit in a room and pray with my eyes closed. Thank You.

Once we got to the top of the Half Dome, I quickly found this spot and asked my wife to go to the edge of the cliff and pose there. I got a confident NO and had to switch roles. That rare case when I’m a model and my wife is a photographer. It played pretty well.
