Wind, Fog, Rain and Sun in one intense day at Bandon

I spend one day photographing beautiful Bandon, Oregon, and I get all kind of weather: wind, fog, rain, clouds and sun. Lovely.

I finally found the image I was looking for in the mountains of Washington

After weeks chasing an idea, I finally make it happen. The mountains of Washington gave me what I was looking for.

Your latest photos are the ones you understand the least

The photos we made most recently, especially the ones that took the most effort, are the hardest to judge. In this video, I talk about recency bias and effort bias, using photos from a recent backpacking trip in the North Cascades. I also share a faster way to gain perspective on your work that doesn’t involve waiting for years.
