Fellow photographer Matt Payne had me on his show "F-Stop Collaborate and Listen". We had a very interesting conversation about photography, and how it can be more than an artistic pursuit and become a lifestyle.
A huge winter storm dumped tons of snow across much of the US, so I knew I had to go somewhere to photograph an event like this. When I found out New York City was going to get around a foot of snow, I knew what I had to do. I got in my car and drove 700 miles from Indiana to be there for the big day... and it didn't disappoint.
I visit Saint Joseph, Michigan, looking for some snow. I get incredible conditions, but I make a rookie mistake.
I thought 2025 was an ok year for my photography, until I sat down to reflect on the work. It turns out it was a decently good and productive time!
The first snow of the season here in Indiana came in force. We got several inches and I loved every second of it.
My photography road trip across the country comes to an end. In this last episode, I let the AI plot the route back home. I asked it to highlight some lesser-know spots along the way that I could photograph, and the results were... interesting.
The forecast had some rain for Death Valley National Park, so I immediately booked a campsite. I was hoping for some rare conditions in the park, and I did get some of that. The consequences were a bit unexpected, though.
For the last few months, I've been using the Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8. It's a wonderful lens, but it comes with serious drawbacks. Will it replace my all-time favorite Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6?
We all feel frustrated about our photography at some point. But the doubs and fears are normal and part of the process. We get to create not because we don't feel them, but despite them.
I visit ancient places in Eastern California, both natural and man-made. Mono Lake, the ghost town of Bodie, Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, and the Alabama Hills.
It was supposed to be a travel day, driving to the next destination of my road trip across the West. But after waking up to some fog, something told me I should explore despite the long drive I had ahead of me. I'm sooo glad I did take the time to take unknown roads, because what I found was a photography heaven, one of the highlights of the whole trip.
When I'm not feeling inspired, I use this simple trick to get me and my camera out.
A bad storm comes to the Oregon Coast and I'm stuck. A good chance to answer some of your questions about the way I travel for photography.
I get asked this question very often: why only black and white? Aren't you tempted to capture those beautiful fall colors?
I have a hard time leaving the PNW. The days are beautiful and moody, very different from what's waiting for me further east. So even though I was supposed to be gone by now, I decide to give the Oregon Coast a couple more days.
I'm in Central Oregon where I'm supposed to pick up my new filters (to replace the ones I broke). But what I find there leaves speechless. Photographing some stunning landscapes in Central Oregon.
The Columbia River Gorge is home to more than 70 waterfalls. It would take me weeks to even visit all of them, so in this video, I'll photograph just a handful. And while photographing a waterfall might seem pretty straightforward, I also want to share some tips.
I visit two of the most beautiful beaches in the Olympic Peninsula: Rialto and Second Beach. The locations are stunning... but the conditions couldn't be more treacherous. I struggle with the wind and the rain, and push it a little bit too far with the tides.
A few magical moments and images from my days in the PNW.
The story behind a piece of art can be as important, if not more, than the piece itself. How we make art matters, a lot.
