How much of what we "see" in a landscape was shaped long before any of us picked up a camera?

The museums we've wandered through, the paintings and posters and calendars we absorbed without noticing all quietly train the eye. It's why some compositions feel comfortable the moment you look at them.

I've just published a new article about this: how art history shapes the way we see landscape photography, from Renaissance composition to Romanticism to Ansel Adams. It's the kind of background that explains why some images stay with you for years and others don't.

If you enjoy the work, I think you'll enjoy the story behind how I see it.

New on the blog this week.

So much of what we love about the national parks reached us through artists first. Before most Americans could ever travel west, it was painters like Bierstadt and photographers like Carleton Watkins who showed them what Yosemite actually looked like. Watkins' photographs were even shown directly to Congress and helped make the case for protecting Yosemite.

That history has stayed with me through years of photographing Mount Rainier and and the canyon country of Utah. My new piece traces that history from Watkins through Ansel Adams and into the work I'm making now.

I'd love for you to read it.

Art that looks great on a screen doesn't always hold up once it's on a wall, under real lighting, viewed every day. That gap is where most commercial art selection goes wrong, and after years of installing fine art photography in offices, lobbies, and hospitality spaces across the Pacific Northwest and the West, I wanted to put what actually works in one place.

My new guide covers the practical side most people skip: how to map a wall before buying, why scale is the most common (and most fixable) mistake, how to choose between metal, acrylic, and paper for a space that gets real use, and how to plan a collection that still feels relevant years down the road.

If you're a designer, business owner, or anyone responsible for how a space looks and feels, I think you'll find it useful.

Something I've thought about a lot over the years — a photograph doesn't exist in isolation. It lives in a room, against a wall, under specific light that shifts through the day. All of that changes how the image reads.

I wrote a new article on this topic. How to match fine art photography to wall color and room design. It gets into what paint undertones actually do to a print, how light changes an image throughout the day, how to work with strong colors rather than fight them, and when a frame choice can quietly undermine an otherwise excellent placement.

If you're working through a placement decision or just curious about how this all fits together, I'd love to hear what you're dealing with in the comments. And the article is up on the site now.

Something I've wanted to write for a long time is finally live on the site.

Professional framing and mounting. It sounds like a dry, technical topic, and honestly, parts of it are. But the reason it matters goes well beyond how a piece looks on the wall.

I've watched prints framed with standard materials show visible discoloration within two or three years. I've also seen conservation-framed work from fifteen years ago that looks exactly as it did the day it was delivered. For anyone who has invested in limited edition photography, it's worth understanding the topic before hanging your art.

The new article covers everything I've learned including: conservation materials, UV protection, archival mounting, and how to approach framing when you're building a collection over time rather than just hanging a single piece. I also get into some of the specifics around Pacific Northwest homes: humidity fluctuations, rooms with large west and south-facing windows, and what all of that means for long-term preservation.

If you've ever had questions about how my prints are delivered or how to care for fine art photography in your home, this is the most complete answer I've put together.

One of the questions I get most from collectors — after they've brought a print home — is some version of: "Now what?"

Where does it go? How high? What if it's above the couch? How do I hang something that weighs 20 pounds without destroying my walls?

I've spent over a decade installing large-format landscape photography in client homes across the Pacific Northwest, and I've seen the same mistakes made over and over — even by people who own genuinely beautiful work. The most common one? Hanging everything six inches too high.

I put together a detailed guide on my website covering everything: proper hanging height (and why galleries use the 57-to-60-inch standard), how to position art above furniture, spacing for multi-piece arrangements, which hardware to use for heavy metal prints and acrylic mounts, and how lighting can make or break the whole presentation.

If you've ever invested in a fine art print and wondered whether you were displaying it the way it deserves — this one's for you.

I just published a new article on the site and wanted to share it here first
It covers something I get asked about constantly — editions, sizes, and materials. It's very practical and covers what matters when you're choosing a print to live with long-term

The article walks through how my edition structure works and why I keep it simple (100 prints per image, total — no size or material loopholes), how size affects the physical experience of a photograph in a room, and what the real differences are between archival paper, ChromaLuxe metal, and Lumachrome acrylic.

One thing I talk about that surprises people: the single most common regret I hear from collectors after a print is installed is that they went too small. It almost never goes the other way.

If you've been thinking about adding a piece to your home or office, this is a good read before you make that call.

New on the Blog: How to Choose the Right Photograph for Your Space

One of the most common things I hear from collectors — after the fact — is that they undersized the piece. The second most common: they chose the right image for the wrong room.

After years of working with clients to place Pacific Northwest landscape photography in their homes and offices, I decided to write it all down.

The new guide covers the full process — how to think about scale, color relationships, room function, lighting conditions, and the emotional questions that matter far more than any interior design rule. It gets into large format photography and why presence at scale changes how a room feels over time. It addresses how fine art prints in neutral spaces behave differently than in rooms with strong existing color. And it talks through specific rooms — living areas, home offices, bedrooms, hallways — because the right wall art for one space is often exactly wrong for another.

It's a practical, grounded read whether you're choosing your first piece of fine art photography or rethinking how an existing collection lives in your space.

As always, if you're working through a specific wall or room and want a second set of eyes before committing to a limited edition print, reach out. I'm happy to walk through sizing and placement based on the real conditions of your space.

Hey everyone,

For the past six months, I've been heads-down building something I'm genuinely proud of: a completely new website. It's been a long time coming, and I wanted to do it right — not just a place to display images, but a real home for the work and the thinking behind it.

To mark the occasion, I've written two new articles I'd love for you to read:

Why Collect Fine Art Photography — If you've ever been curious about what it really means to bring fine art photography into your home or collection, this is for you. I share my honest perspective on why these pieces hold value — both emotionally and as long-term investments.

Welcome to My New Website — A personal note on what went into building this, what you'll find here, and where things are headed.

If you've followed my work for any length of time, your support genuinely means a lot to me. Taking a few minutes to visit the site and read through the articles would mean even more.
The link is in my bio — I'd love to hear what you think.
