Just returned from a 4 day stay at and I was reminded how much I enjoy the central coast weather’s quick-changing variety. I was able to wake up to completely socked in fog out on my patio (which I love), then grab a coffee and watch it as it burns off and the warmth of the sun turns the entire sky peach gold (also love), then throughout the day breaks up into pure blue backdrop with cirrocumulus clouds (so good). Staying at Sirena was also the slow paced, quiet, retreat style that I have come to appreciate far more than something with endless amenities. It’s a property with just a handful of rooms, but spared no expense on the important aspects of comfort. I am thrilled to work with them for the next year. Their Santorini-inspired property served as a perfect subject to focus many of these shots on.

Also, shout out to for developing the filters on my new Mavic 4 Pro. Not getting paid to say that, they are just awesome. As the moisture settled in the day, the way a polarized filter cuts the light so you get the fullness of the green and blue makes so much difference in my photography.

If we saw the hells some people have walked through I’m convinced we’d all be huggers.

“I too at times am filled with so much fear, so much fear, but like a hallway must find the strength to walk through it.
Walk through this with me.
Through this church of blood, bone, and muscle, that is ours
There is a door k**b glowing like chance before you.
Grab it, turn and pull, step through, back straight, chin up, eyes open, hearts loud.“
-Come Closer, Anis Mojgani

Today I turn in my badge.

Over the last 4 months I’ve been in training for chaplaincy work. I feel grateful to have this experience learning better ways to use my silence and my words. I love being with people. What an amazing reminder that every person is like some others, all others, and no other.

It’s World Photography Day. And yes u should go take a photo so you can say “I fancy myself a photographer.” Even if you don’t, doesn’t it sound fancy?

Ok, you have 9 days to get a good and I promise your 'best gifts for xx' on Amazon will not work well. I've got you covered and I'm offering a discount for the next 15 days to celebrate the launch of my brand new print site. Enter code LAUNCH24 at checkout to get 10% off your entire order.

A little note on my new prints, I've decided to tailor the majority of prints to high tier statement pieces. I am now exclusively using Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308 with archival inks to give both museum quality color and age-restistance. I am also offering top end 1/8" acrylic prints. This is my collection for now, and will continue to add popular or highly-requested images each year and archiving others. Also, I have and will always love working with you if there is an image or print material or size that you'd want for your space - so if you want a custom print just click the button on the page below.

I also want to say thank you to a few of you who have been consistently encouraging and challenging that helps me get out of the self criticism that leads to incessant delay or disbelief in launching ideas or stepping out.
