One thing I always try and advocate for when I'm teaching is that as an artist it is often important to curb the the thought "what is the craziest thing I can do here"

The unfortunate reality with photography is that really and truly a great photo is a fantastic lie.
Models make impossibly uncomfortable poses, and locations look effortless. Th...
The hues of summer are a battle. I have learned not to trust my own eyes because they are deceitful. I am looking at the subject, at the light, at the scene, and I think I am seeing one...

Taking care of the forest, and garden is so intensely rewarding. They both require care, and observation, but they live nearly worlds apart separated by only a stream. So when I went in...

Back in the early summer days a giant convention came to Portland, and I was lucky enough to have a bunch of new people come through town and shoot in the forest. Jessa was in town from Phila...
