Last February, a stubborn high-pressure system settled in and skiing in the Pacific Northwest started to feel pretty flat. When conditions like that linger, I usually turn to maps and start hunting for new places to photograph. Working through a short list I’d been sitting on, I headed south on Oregon Coast Highway 101, starting […]
Spent 4 days hiking in Los Picos de Europa in northern Spain covering a little over 30 miles and 15,000 vert in elevation gain. Day 1: Starting out at Hotel Poncebos (900 ft) – Along the famous Rio Cares heading up towards our first small town (Bulnes) which is also accessible by a Funicular. Here […]
Returning in October this was my third time visiting Iceland. By late fall the height of tourism has subsided and the weather is on the edge of turning into winter. Days were starting to get shorter and the moon was visible for most of the week oscillating above and below the horizon ever so slightly. […]
This was the third time I’ve made it up to the Olympic National Park in Washington. It’s a large park where everything seems to be an hour away, limited cell service and sparse supplies so having a daily plan is helpful navigating and time management. Staying in the town of Forks, Wa it’s hard to […]
I have spent many miles hiking around Mt. Hood and the surrounding forest over the last 7 years. I wanted to put together a collection of photographs that showed not only the variety of terrain but also how the different seasons change the landscape. I’ve read dozens of books on the area along with studying […]

I wanted to revisit Silver Falls State Park which I had visited in April of 2018. Mid June turned out to be perfect timing with good foliage coverage and still ample water running. Some of the smaller falls on the trail were turning into a slow trickle. Did the full loop but was surprised by […]
The Painted Hills in Oregon are beautiful, offering a unique look at the lands geology over millions of years. In an effort to preserve this area there are not many trails and you are required to not venture off them which in my opinion makes it kind of a boring/touristy place to photograph. (lookup the […]
