Holding On

RELEASED FEBRUARY 2021 | Captured during the final morning hike in Wyoming in the summer of 2018, scenes like this make one want to hold on to every moment for as long as possible.

The Witch's Hand

RELEASED JANUARY 2021 | Walking through a small meadow, I was scanning for compositions when this distant, twisted tree jumped out at me. Near the main trail, I've walked right by it countless times without ever seeing it.

Its gnarled shape and the wonderful mix of colors and textures make this a contender for my favorite shot from this foggy morning. It wasn't until I was back home and showing some of my images to my partner that she pointed out it looks like the hand of an ancient witch.

From Chaos

For once, one of our rare foggy Texas days fell on a weekend and I was able to take full advantage. Shooting with a friend for the first time since the start of the pandemic, with great conditions, I felt reinvigorated but also a bit out of practice after not going out with the camera for more than two months.

Fortunately, shortly after we started hiking, I spotted this twisted oak tree standing out from the chaos of its surroundings. It was a bit challenging to process this one but I was ultimately able to emphasize the interesting structure of the branches and create some balance in a fairly chaotic scene.

Last Light at Weaver's Needle

JANUARY 2021 REVISION | I captured this sunset view back in 2018 after heading out in the late afternoon to hike up Peralta Trail to Freemont Saddle in Arizona. At the time, it was the hardest hike I'd completed... and only my second or third "true" hike ever. Exhausting, but absolutely worth it! I was very thankful for having a friend with me that's highly experienced, especially when I realized I left my headlamp back at our campsite... it was an interesting hike back down, in the dark, holding a small flashlight while using hiking poles.

Vestige

RELEASED JANUARY 2021 | Having hit the ground running upon our arrival in California back in May 2019, this image was captured towards the end of a second consecutive night without sleep, using a few hours' rest during the day between to recharge our bodies and minds. The Milky Way was quickly fading away as the first hints of light began to brighten the sky but it would be several hours before the thrill of shooting the stars above this amazing landscape began to wear off.

Experiences like this are why I love photography.
