Mirror Pond, Bend, Oregon. I captured this beautiful sunrise in Downtown Bend a few days ago. I'm seeking title suggestions for this new image before adding it to my website, so please include your ideas below!
As it is currently dumping snow on us here in Bend, Oregon, I thought it would be a good time to share a wintry image of Bend's iconic, 100 foot tall Tumalo Falls in its winter dress.
Happy New Year to my Bluesky friends! A couple mornings ago I was fortunate enough to find myself atop of Smith Rock State Park near Bend, Oregon. I arrived to a dense fog inversion and climbed above the fog just in time for sunrise!
"Wallowa Lake Sunrise" Eastern Oregon's Wallowa mountains are one of the 7 wonders of Oregon! I'm excited to share the fact that this image and many other metal prints are now part of the permanent collection at University of Oregon's Knight Law Center! Stop by and see them in the UO Library!
Favorite image from a summer backpacking trip with my awesome wife to the stunning Mt Hood Wilderness Area. #Oregon #landscapephotography #backpacking

I recently returned from a trip to Cannon Beach on Oregon's amazing coast. The Oregon Coast is always beautiful but winter weather there is fickle, at best. Well, I got really lucky! Light fluffy clouds made for a stunning sunset above Cannon Beach's iconic 235 foot tall Haystack Rock!
Recently returned from Oregon’s amazing Owyhee Canyonlands. This remote area of Oregon has some the most amazing scenery in the US. This new image is of Chalk Basin, on the Owyhee. Alternating layers of marine sediment and rhyolite/Basalt account for the stunning stratification.
“Owyhee River Sunrise”. Here’s another new image Oregon’s stunning Owyhee Canyonlands. The textures and color in this basin is like nothing else I’ve seen in my home state of Oregon!
Bluesky Friends! I'm excited to share a big exhibit I recently hung at Deschutes Brewery in Downtown Bend Oregon. If you happen to be in the area, please stop by, view my work, enjoy one of Oregon's finest beers and please tell them I sent you!
A promising weather forecast for yesterday morning prompted me to drive 30 minutes from my home in Bend, Oregon to Smith Rock State Park and climb via the Misery Ridge Trail to capture this stunning sunrise, featuring Smith Rock, the Crooked River and the Oregon Cascades. Please comment and Share!
