Rediscover Your Photography Passion Rediscover the Joy of Photography Life has a way of pulling us in a million directions, and sometimes our beloved cameras end up gathering dust. For photographers, that break can feel like a lost part of ourselves. But here’s the good news: your photography passion is still there, waiting for you. …
Spirituality and Photography – I’m not really a religious man. Never have been. But I do think of myself as very spiritual. And I’ll be honest—there’ve been times in my life where that part of me wasn’t as front and center. But something’s shifted since I moved back to the Pacific Northwest. It’s hard not …
The Gift of the Photograph – There’s something about the Pacific Northwest coast—especially on a moody, gray day—that stays with you long after you’ve left.

I’m very aware of the level of passion I have for different things I photograph. As with any of us, certain things will click with us. Other things will …
Photographing Something Different Photographing something different. Something that isn’t my usual stuff. This is a bit of a followup to the last article I posted. Doing something different with my photography to keep things interesting; to help keep me motivated and to help me keep enjoying being a photographer. The Las Vegas International Horse Show …
I don’t think of myself as a landscape photographer. I’ll often go out on day road trips with my friend, Garrett (who is a great landscape photographer, btw), but my intent on these outings isn’t really about coming back with some great photos. I just like to get out in the fresh air; maybe do …
