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

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

It might be hard to tell because of the angle, but this mom is holding her sea otter pup on her belly. It was so adorable! Shoutout to @lyon.photography for taking me out on his boat last summer to get

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
