Ascension, 2017
Ascending the Mist Trail past Yosemite's Vernal Falls as the midmorning sun crests the looming cliffs. I can only imagine the ascent to Heaven is not dissimilar.
'Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in a while. Wash your spirit clean.'
—John Muir
Virgin Narrows, 2016
It is said that we go to the woods in order to fill the soul, and conversely, that we go to the desert in order to empty it— though it is likewise replenished. For both in equal measure, might I suggest Zion?
Joshua Tree, 2017
Such a bizarre microcosm that it must indeed be cherished for it's singular, stark beauty.
Jamaica Bay, 2013
The haunting natural green of glorious nautical locks found right here in Queens: Beach town.
Mirror Lake, 2015
It is vital to reflect.
Twin Rocks, 2015
Was I above the water or below? I can't recall. Somewhere between the clouds and the seabed, I think.
Bryce, 2016
Sunrise spills over sandy siena and burnt orange hudus resplendent in morning glory.
Saracina, 2017
I wish I could've bottled the breeze which prompted these beauties to dance in the setting sun at Mendocino's Saracina Vineyards.
The Gathering Storm, 2017
From Yosemite's Glacier Point, Half Dome lingers in the distance as lilac storm clouds paint the valley from the north.
Rainier, 2015
Mount Rainier as viewed from my parent's garden at sunrise. I often find myself rising with the sun when I'm here. Wouldn't you?
Fire in the Sky, 2014
Nothing compares to the copper-golden glow of upstate New York come autumn.
Tunnel View, 2017
The iconic 'Tunnel View' in California's Yosemite Valley. A sight etched in many a traveler's mind for obvious reasons. Shooting as a partial panoramic aided in retaining the depth necessary to capture the scope of this legendary vista.
Dreamscape: Fences, 2017
I took a chance on solar flare, but it absolutely paid off with this dreamlike twisted barbed wire breach beyond golden grass. This, to me, encapsulates the warmth, wilderness and soul of California.
...it shall be my first album cover.
Buck Island, 2015
placid, PLAS-id: pleasantly calm or peaceful; unruffled; tranquil; serenely quiet or undisturbed.
Stolen away to a deserted Adirondack island retreat, I caught the lazy late summer sun in the shallows of Lake Placid.
Half Dome, 2017
Notorious as it is glorious. The monolith as seen from the valley floor.
PCH, 2015
Dizzy daises perch high above the ocean; clinging to the severe basalt cliffs of Oregon's Pacific Coastal Highway, route 101.
Sequoia, 2017
Enveloped in the hollowed husk of a mighty Giant Sequoia deep inside Redwoods National Park.
Chicken of the Woods, 2014
The bloom of this mushroom spotted in upstate New York is so wildly abstract that I wanted to explode that shape into colour.
Aeternum, 2015
With loved ones nearby, salt in the air, and the sun upon my eyelids, this was one of the most blissful and serene moments of my life.
Twin Rocks, Oregon
Yosemite, 2017
The top tier of the park's eponymous waterfall.
Printemps, 2017
Cherry blossoms come every spring to Astoria, New York, and for a few glorious weeks the whole neighbourhood is a-blush.
