What is Photography?
However you decide to experience photography, know that it will hone your experience and memories. I’ve never had a particularly good memory. However, I can recall and describe in detail all of the feelings of my senses at the time of any of my photographs. The experience has exposed my soul to the light of eternity inside every moment. I hope your journey can be just as beautiful 😊
Gifts of Spring: Palouse Falls State Park
If you wait until June or July to visit the high desert region of eastern Washington, all the new green may have already faded to a golden brown. Early spring in the dryer climates is glorious. Wild grasses and flowers are a brilliant splash of color in an area that can appear bland most of the year. It was an incredible experience to take my mom on an adventure in these parts in the May of 2022. The new life of spring lifted the wells of our souls.
Cold, Windy, Beautiful: A Night on Mt. Rainier
Having a friend to do photography with is a wonderful thing. This story is about my buddy Michael Goodwin and I braving the cold, the wind, and the rock pillows on Mt. Rainier just to get a shot of the Milky Way.
My Origin Story
“You don’t make a photograph just with a camera. You bring to the act of photography all the pictures you have seen, the books you have read, the music you have heard, the people you have loved.”
