Photographer, naturalist, traveler.
Former geologist, then web developer, now cybersecurity pro, but I don’t post about that. I’d rather go hiking and take photos.

Believe it or not, I took this photo with my iPhone 13 Pro. I shot three frames in raw format and ran them through my normal workflow in Lightroom for making panoramas. I was surprised how nice this turned out! #photography #utah #brycecanyon #panorama

A stream in the Blue Ridge mountains, North Carolina, not far off the Blue Ridge Parkway. July 2024. Shot with Canon G7x, processed in Lightroom. I posted a B&W version of this a few months ago. Which do you prefer?

Everglades National Park, January 2024. We spent a few days in the 'glades last year. It is such an important ecosystem that we have failed to adequately protect.

Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Middle Prong Trail, about 2 miles in, there’s an old Cadillac that’s been sitting there since the 1930s. I photograph it every year or two. A tree fell on it a couple years ago so it doesn’t look like this anymore.

That time I accidentally captured an aurora. Back in October in Utah I was doing some night photography. This wasn’t visible to the naked eye but all my shots kept coming out pink!
