Behind-the-scenes musings about photography, travels, and life
This Stories page is where I post in-depth descriptions of my travels, discoveries, motivations behind my artwork, and more. Entries tagged with Story Behind the Art provide details concerning the creation of a specific work; other stories such as Musings and Travel reflect my experiences overall, or relate to a particular photo trip or destination.

Visualizing a Turning Point
This is the final photograph I took on my first long-distance photo trip—the voyage that fundamentally changed the direction of my life.

The Highlight of the Journey (So Far)
I’ve just returned from the biggest photo journey I’ve taken so far: a 4,500 mile trip to the ancient Anasazi ruins in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, and back.
Moving Up to Professional Grade
I finally did it: I made the huge financial commitment to invest in my photography and took the plunge into medium format territory.
Musings, Beginnings, and all That
Every story has a beginning, and since this is my first post, you might assume that this is where all things related to my photography start. But that’s not really the case.
