I haven’t posted in a while, but I also haven’t been taking photos. It’s been about two months. Today however, I went on a drive and took three photos. I staged, thought them out, and deliberated on every

Puffins are absolutely incredible birds. With bright colors, vibrant plumage, and personality’s to match, I’ve always loved photographing them. This was a bird that was particularly friendly, and let me

I caught this Rock Greenling while jigging for rockfish off my boat in Kachemak Bay. With incredible reds, and cyan flesh, Rock Greenling  are one of the prettiest fish I’ve ever caught. I did not

The colors that I shoot with are muted. Always. I try not to have strong ANYTHING in my shots and bring myself to find combinations that bring the pictures together, with only good compositions to grab

In early September, I thought that I heard an abnormally large bumblebee fly past my head. I gave it no thought, and continued on my work in the garden.  BzzzzzZZZZiP! Bigger than a bee. It was a

Goals are important in life. That is a statement that is true, without any sort of doubt. Goals are what drive us, are what keep us moving forward in life. Small goals: full tank of gas, take a photo every

I spend my summers on the water. Almost everyday I go out on my boat, and just fish and enjoy what is around me. This summer I was lucky enough to come upon a pod of feeding Humpback whales. From there,

 There’s nothing fancy going on here. It’s a photo of the moon, that I took. However, the point of interest I’ve always to find in this photo is simply the amount of space, and land, and distance

Food photography has always been a struggle of mine. I've tried, but the photos have always come out looking, well, just "off" or unappealing. However, going back through photos I took this summer,

I've never really called myself any one sort of photographer. I do portraits, landscape, and wildlife. I haven't defined myself to a niche. I find wildlife photography a challenge, I find landscapes

Sea otters are one of those animals that fit in with bears, eagles, and moose. Just really really over shot, and taking an interesting photo of one is very difficult. This otter I caught grooming, and

One of my favorite techniques for taking landscape photos is taking multiple shots through my 400mm, and stitching them together postprocessing. I feel that it gives a better perspective on the land and

This is my submission to #animalphotography, hosted by @juliank. I was lucky enough to meet this moose calf on a hike, and he and his mother were very friendly, allowing me to get this shot of him munching

This is one of my favorite #landscapephotography shots I've ever taken. I recently had bought a neutral density filter, and with it, I was able to create a smooth and colorful image as the sun set over

This little Costa's Hummingbird got quite turned around and ended up in Alaska when he should have been in Mexico. Apparently this is not uncommon among juvenile males. (
