Early Morning Mist On A Mirrored Pond
If you want to get a dawn shot in northern Vermont close to the summer solstice, you have to get up early. This shot taken minutes before 6 AM on the 14th of June illustrates that point. The thick mists that can attend an early morning pre-dawn fishing trip or Kayak paddle are still crisply visible, the sun is already starting to climb for the day, not yet high enough to lend its light to the trees and hills in the background of the photo. Instead, it casts them as back-lit silhouettes, standing behind a mirrored pond that is already showing its color but still clinging to early morning mists that attend the march from night to day. The sun is just high enough to paint the sky a bright blue and reveal puffy clouds which will all appear white as the sun reaches a high enough point in the sky. As with most outdoor shots with limited processing, this photo tells a story of lighting in a natural world. A sun behind clouds sets them aglow and casts its light at the precise angle to make the pond's surface a near perfect mirror.

Lake Bosomtwe
This particular picture was taken in Ghana, West Africa. In the picture you can see lake Bosomtwe. I took this picture on July 8th of this year. During this time we decided to camp along the lake for two days. We spent those wonderful days at the lake enjoying the sunshine and the pleasures of being outdoors again. In the morning the water often looked darker and clouds hung overhead, but later on in the day it would sparkle and gleam as it lapped at the lake shore. An occasional fisherman would paddle by on a boat made simply out of a wooden board that was rounded on the bottom. A basket would be tied behind him as he used his hands to paddle along and gather fish.When we swam in the lake we saw many fish darting throughout the water that were disturbed by our feet.

The Long Side of the Mountain
The Aero Lakes in the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness have been described as 'alpine oceans' rather than alpine lakes. Both Upper and Lower Aero Lakes are nearly a mile wide both directions, and they sit near each other on the rugged alpine rocky plateau of the Beartooth Mountains at just over 10,000 ft in elevation.

Suburban Fortress
Slick with rain, the street looks like a horizontal asphalt water slide. The cars pass intermittently like the rainfall. Where are these neighbors going? Do they consider the green grass from the manicured lawn? The blades raise up like hands to the sky.

Manila Sunset
2019 was an eventful year for me; travelling to eight countries, two mental breakdowns, moving out, and seeing two of my favourite singers; Christina Aguilera and Björk in concert. A lot of bad stuff happened, but a lot of good things happened as well. If I could describe last year in one image it would be this one: a picture of a sunset in Manila.

Shell
I have lived in Reno, Nevada since I was just a little kid, and I always wanted to leave. Nevada was too much with it's oppressive dry heat, open expanses of multi-hued brown, and the people with whom I never quite seemed to belong. I spent my childhood running away to sunny beaches and mountains and forests, and always longed to live in a place that felt like those places did to me.

Pink cheeks and oranges
If there's one aspect of my style of writing that I like to believe stands out, it's the attribute of honesty. As I begin to pen down one of the most organic experiences of my life, one that I was lucky enough to capture, I think it's imperative to be genuine about it.

Suffering and Serendipity
I left my hotel in Bodrum, Turkey, in the early hours of the morning on the 12th of July, 2019. I couldn't sleep, so I got dressed and stepped out into the dark city. I wandered the empty streets in the quiet zone between the bars closing and early morning shops opening. I walked through the back streets and trekked up the hillside to the ruins carved into the rock. My experience has often been that a peaceful mind is easier to find in a deserted place that is usually full of people.
