I've admired Jim Richardson's images for many years and even had the opportunity to hear him speak a few years ago as part of the National Geographic Live series in Chicago. Sometimes the difference between a good photo and an amazing photo is perspective. Shooting only from eye level won't yield the same shot taken [...]

A naturally curious and creative explorer, I aim to use my images and words to paint a story. I love big dogs, sunrise runs, being on the water and driving with the windows open. I've been sharing stories on here since 2008 and recently returned after a bit of a hiatus. I'm happy to be back, but really loathe writing these "about me" sections.

I have watched 2 seasons of The Bachelor. It seems that people are either completely obsessed with Reality TV or completely disgusted [...]
Tequila Sunrise Panorama
Last sunrise for a while, I promise! This is an image I created using 8 images from sunrise #3, stitching them together into a panorama. It's crazy. This process used to take forever in the darkroom and the one time I attempted it I was less than satisfied with the result. But in this digital [...]
I’m What They Call… Certified.
17. Get My Scuba Certification in a cool, exotic place. 1/28/12 When I was in Egypt in 2007 I spent about a week in Dahab on the Red Sea. A couple of my new travel "mates" had arranged to get their PADI Scuba Certification and they encouraged me to join them. I was coming off [...]
Sunrise #3
Sunrise 3 of 3. Taken at the same place as sunrise #2, proving that no two mornings are the same. I call this one the Tequila Sunrise.
Sunrise #2
Sunrise 2 of 3 in Mexico...
