Ever fleeting beautiful moments

In the mountains fog rolled in after a storm. The outstanding sunset brought blissful colors to the sky. This was an impactful moment of what the beauty of nature gives us. Even as we increasingly become engrossed

Not much can beat a good evening drive through the mountains

I keep finding myself doing things unexpectedly. I have met great people who push me to be outside my comfort zone and encourage me to continue seeing the world in a new light. This has

I shot these three photos on a Vivitar 28mm Lens attached to an adapter for my #sonya7c . It’s one of my favorite prime lens to test my manual skills with, honestly would be fun to get more like it.

Don’t forget to go outside today 🌄

A slow weekend means changing things up and trying something different such as the photographer modeling in their own photos.🃏

I have no clue what I was doing with my poses. I just kept taking photos and kept doing random things… hence

The views out here have been spectacular. I was riding through the Blue Ridge Park way with a friend and we stopped at a couple views. One was the first two photos, which is the same tree from different perspectives and coloration. The other was on a

So much I could post but not sure what I should 🙃, although this Osprey with a caught fish was at the top of the list for sure 👍🏼

Weather, location, distance, lens type, positioning… shooting at 70mm across the valley with clouded weather in the winter. I took this shot with clouds covering the mountain peaks. Morphing and fading into each other, the sky and the mountain

I find my interest in photography changing.

I used to be more driven to take photos anytime I could. All the while not fully considering how to put the pieces together.

Learning the basics, then following exceptional photographers expecting to ge

An eventful year is coming to pass, neither all good nor all bad but a mixture of the both. Many times this year I have felt myself slip away from photography. Slowly my creativity left me and slowly I set down the camera. Telling myself that I will
