Deconstructing Zion
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away, I was an architect–not a marine biologist. Even further from that point, I was in school to become an architect. My parents figured architecture would be a great major for me because I loved to draft in high school. What my parents didn’t realize, and [...]
Work–Workshops–and Travel
Many of you have been wondering where the heck I have been. It has been how many weeks since my last post? I know, I know, inconsistency is not good for Google, SEO, PPO, CPS, NPS, LLC, INC, and whatever other abbreviations you can come up with. Seriously though, I have been working like a [...]

And then there were Arches…
Yesterday I was in Arches National Park photographing locations and compositions that I see less frequently than some of the most obvious.
