Take the time to relax with some POV street photography on the streets of Brugge in the early morning! No talking, just the sounds of the city, boots on cobblestones, and the shutter of my camera.
All in Landscape
Europe Trip 2023: Brugge (Part 1)
After touching down in Europe I hit the streets of Brugge with the intention of using street photography to try to stay awake and reset my sleep schedule. Severely jet-lagged I was able to get some images in the early evening as the shadows grew longer.
I Brought The Bare Minimum of Gear on a Hike
On a long hike such as the eight mile one I took on this day at the Briones Reservoir, I felt the weight of the singular lens and camera body, it was an extra burden I would have preferred to have left at home. But when the sun began to get lower in the sky there were images I just had to capture.
Hiking in the Woods with Only an 85mm Lens
While trying to get out of a creative rut I decided to give myself a bit of a challenge: go out for a hike in the woods with the intention of taking photos, but only bring an 85mm prime lens. While the weather wasn't the most cooperative for getting interesting images, I managed to find some inspiration amongst the trees and create a few compositions.
Midday Natural Light Portraits on a Hike
While on the trails one overcast day my hiking partner asked for me to take some photos of her for Instagram. Always up for a challenge and carrying my camera as usual I jumped at the chance to take some photos.
Revisiting an Old Location After a Snowstorm
Looking back through many of my images from the first half of this year I stumbled upon a series of images from an outing just after a snowstorm that I never posted while the images aren’t the best ones from my first Winter in New Hampshire, the story of revisiting a location I had previously photographed in the Fall made for what I find to be an interesting story.
Hidden Amongst the Ferns
One of the lesser known beauties of Berkeley is the Regional Parks Botanic Garden. While most people would go to the UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens at the base of the Berkeley hills, this more relaxed and completely free experience is perhaps even more worth having.
An Afternoon in Muir Woods
As a child I remember looking up at the trees that seemed to scrape the sky while the sunlight lazily filtered to the forest floor. Visiting as an adult is a very different experience.
The Last of the Fall Colors
With Fall coming to a close and the last of the leaves falling off the trees I decided to go out and capture the color before it's gone for the year.
The Hasselblad Experience (Part 1)
The first of my thoughts and images with the impressive $17,000 Hasselblad kit I rented for a weekend of non-stop photoshoots.
Photography San Francisco From a Car Window
Sometimes I will be performing a mundane task, in this case going to a doctor’s appointment in the city, and I will get a gut feeling that I just have to bring my camera. This was one of those days; a day where something about the air just felt like photography.
Hiking Red Hill
As my time in the North-East progressed as did the changing of the leaves. In my last weeks there the whole world seemed to be on fire in reds, yellows, and oranges. I took a beautiful hike up to a remote fire tower to see the expansive views of the leaves as they began to reach their peak of colorfulness.
The Start of the Fall Colors on Lake Waukewan
Nearly every chance I got I was out on the lake, the mild weather made for perfect days out on the boat or just enjoying the sound of the water at the beach.
Tilden's Animal Farm and Nature Area
One of my favorite places in Berkeley to go for a walk is the Wildcat Creek Trail at the Tilden Little Farm, it isn’t the most exciting hike in the Berkeley hills, but it so easily and conveniently accessible that I find myself frequently taking friends and family there.
A Day in the Snowy Sequoias
There’s little I love more than photography in the snow, the high contrast provided by the bright snow and clear skies make for some truly ethereal images.
