I Am Relearning How To Make A Photograph

“Don’t Think - Feel” — Yoda, The Empire Strikes Back I’ve been a landscape and nature photographer for over 15 years. There was a time when I agonized over how I needed to configure settings on my camera for a given scene. I had even taken a photography class at the community college (that was super fun, btw). I think that was an essential formative period for my photography....

In Which I Finally Need a Standing Desk

Several years ago, when my wife and I bought our first house, my wife found someone locally who custom made a desk for me. It's made out of 2x4's, 2x6's and some simple joinery.

I took a crack at photographing the Superstition Mountains for the first time in four years. While I wish there were more clouds for a better sunset, you can’t really complain about this view.

Always on the lookout for patterns and lines. There’s a chance you can find something cool.

We took our daughters on a walk at the LDS Temple here in Mesa, AZ and took some fun pictures along the way!
