A long time ago

I shot black and white film

And spent time in a dark Dark room

 

MEANWHILE I WAS RAISED IN A ROADTRIPPING FAMILY, VISITING NATIONAL PARKS FROM YOSEMITE TO LASSEN

Here, I learned the boundless beauty of the deepest forests.  Years later, I would be drawn back to the mountains, this time above the treeline, carrying only a pack and a sense of determination to attempt longer trips in High Sierra backcountry.  

 

THE RANGE OF LIGHT

Equipped with a lightweight digital camera, I could more easily bring my vision to seldom explored places.

 

MY HOPE IS TO FIND BEAUTY IN THE WORLD 

Taking photos is a tremendous privilege.  I owe a debt of gratitude to my family, the National Park Service and all of the countless hiking partners I've dragged along on my adventures. And to all I've learned from.

To Mother Nature, to whom I owe it all. And to the all the podcasts and burritos.
