I’ve just received news that I’ve been awarded NINE, yes nine, Honorable Mentions in this year’s International Photography Awards. This contest is one of the most prestigious, and the winning images are always of the highest caliber, so having my work mentioned among them is indeed an honor. The panel of judges included representatives from...

Just Like Old Times
I’ve just returned from an incredible time in Santa Fe, where I spent a week learning new skills, spending time with outstanding people, and doing things I never thought I’d do. I’ve been learning a unique photographic process that I have come to absolutely love, and I’m thankful to my teachers and fellow students for...
Desert Sculpture
Many of us love to travel long distances to see the amazing things of the world and yet rarely take the same time to appreciate what’s right around us, and well, I’m no different. But Arizona has more than its fair share of mind-blowing landscapes and natural wonders, so last week I took a trip...
Into the Fire
Over the weekend, a friend and I set out on a two-day road trip to visit some of Northern Arizona’s natural wonders. We needed some time away from the city, so we headed out to see one of the slot canyons near the Utah border. We knew we would be in for stunning landscapes and...
Unseen
There’s a central theme in my mind that drives much of my more artsy work: the unseen.
I started an abstract project a few months ago based on this concept, and this is part two of that project. This is probably going to be something that I continue to develop, but I thought I’d bring you...
360
Over the long weekend, I spent several days at the family “ranch.” Things are different every time I go there, so I’ve decided to do a series of 360 degree panoramas on the progress of the place. It will be a long-term thing, of course, but I added a couple images to the archive this...
At the ocean
This weekend I was in Southern California for a photography job and was lucky enough to spend a couple hours taking in the sights before heading back home to the desert.
There’s something about the ocean that never fails to inspire awe and wonder. Something strangely humbling and yet freeing about wading in the water and...
Klash
In Iraq, thousands of Kurdish children suffer from life-threatening congenital heart disease. These children can receive a new lease on life through surgery, but because of war, corruption, and lack of resources, surgery is simply an unattainable dream for most of them, and thousands of families must face the reality that their children will soon...
Thoughts From the Wilderness
Across the desert regions of the American Southwest there stretches a wilderness still unclenched by the fingers of urban modernity. A place where you can look for miles and never see another human being.
In the midst of that wilderness is where I spent the last several days, celebrating the Christmas holiday with family who make...
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends! I hope you enjoyed feasting, family, and whatever other traditions you have for the holiday. Above are a couple snaps of our dinner preparations for the day. Great food as always! Thanks to my grandma, mom, and aunts for that! And now that Thanksgiving Day is quickly coming...
