Thank you to everyone who stopped by during the Reno Tahoe International Art Show.

Whether it was a quick hello, a conversation that stretched a little longer, or a chance to reconnect after far too much time, I loved every second of it.

There are so many things competing for our time these days, and I don’t take it lightly when someone chooses to spend a little of theirs with me.

Thank you for stopping by, for the conversations, the laughter, the hugs, and simply for being there.

It meant more to me than you probably know.

The horses are on the walls, the show is underway, and it feels good to finally have this work out in the room.

Much of what I brought to Reno centers on the wild horses I return to again and again—quiet gestures, movement through open space, and those brief moments that stay with me long after I leave.

If you’re drawn to wild horse photography, black-and-white photography, or work that invites a little more looking, I’d love to have you stop by and see it in person.

It has been more than a decade since I’ve shown my work in Reno, so this one feels a little special.

This weekend I’ll be at the Reno Tahoe International Art Show with a collection centered largely on the wild horses I’ve spent so much time watching and photographing.

There is something very different about seeing these photographs in person—the scale, the detail, the quiet between one image and the next.

If you’re in Reno this weekend, I’d love to have you stop by and spend a little time with the work.

I’m very honored to be included among the 2026 Spotlight NV recipients.

A big thank you to the Nevada Arts Council for its generosity and support in making this opportunity possible.

I’m looking forward to being part of the Reno Tahoe International Art Show next month and sharing my work alongside so many talented Nevada artists.

Taps screen… is anyone there?

So, it has been a minute. My last post was in early February. YIKES.

I could give you a whole list of reasons, but it mostly comes down to life and a very finicky computer. Anyone familiar with Photoshop and scratch disks will understand the particular kind of headache I have been dealing with.

Editing photographs is normally one of my favorite places to disappear. Lately, it has felt much more like a nightmare than a heavenly dream.

Then I received an email from a collector who already owns four of my prints. He was looking for something similar, but in a larger size.

That request immediately brought me back to the Salt River horses.

I had wanted to photograph them for a long time, and in February, I finally had a brief encounter with them in Arizona. The images had been sitting on my memory card ever since, waiting for me—and apparently waiting for my computer to cooperate.

This one stopped me.

My scratch disk still warned me that space was running low, but for once, Photoshop did not shut down. The image opened. The edits held.

And I am so freaking excited.

After waiting so long to photograph these horses, it feels good to finally begin seeing what came home with me.

I have not officially named this one yet, but I keep coming back to Where the River Pauses.

At the end of the day, the herd moves on,
leaving more behind than most would ever notice.

The Space They Leave is my newest collection, and in many ways, it’s a love letter to one of my first passions-horses.

Stripped of color, I wanted to stay with what remains, the rhythm of the herd, the quiet knowing, the way the land seems to hold its breath as they pass through.

This piece, Onward, follows the herd as the day closes, moving together toward the next place to rest, the next place to graze. It’s life, carried forward. And it’s everything.

Watching them, I’m reminded how much of their story lives in these small, quiet moments, and how easily they could slip into memory.

These images are meant to linger, holding space for reverence, care, and deep gratitude for what is still here, and what may not always be. They’re meant to bring calm and awareness into the spaces we live with every day.

I love how much personality these birds carry.

The head tilt.
The sharp eye.
That look that feels equal parts curious and calculating.

This wasn’t a quiet moment for me, it was a charged one. Like being assessed. Like the question wasn’t what am I doing here, but what are you?

I photograph what makes my heart happy, and I’m endlessly drawn to animals that feel aware of the exchange.

If this bird had a thought bubble, what do you think it would say?

There was a moment on the trail when I felt myself wanting to rush, eager to finally see Deer Creek Falls.

But the forest had other plans.

I was alone, surrounded by the scent of damp earth, pine, and moss, with the soft sound of water guiding me forward. It slowed my steps, grounding me in the small details I might have missed had I hurried through.

I’m deeply grateful for these quiet moments, for the chance to witness the beauty nature tucks away and to simply be present in it. The falls were beautiful, but the calm that led me there stayed with me.

This is what meditation must feel like.

I photograph what makes my heart happy.
Sometimes that’s wild horses.
Sometimes it’s saguaros standing watch in the desert.
Sometimes it’s waterfalls slipping quietly through the forest.

And sometimes, it’s a bird like this.

The quiet confidence. The watchful eye. The stillness that holds more than movement ever could. This moment asked nothing of me except to notice it, and I was more than happy to listen.

This is why I do what I do.
Because when something in the wild speaks to you, you don’t walk past it.
