Biography – I’m a photographer specializing in dynamic landscapes. I’m consistantly drawn to interfaces in the natural world – whether that be where dynamic meets stationary or where biotic meets abiotic – these areas of interface make for the best photographs. I hope you enjoy checking out my images as much as I’ve enjoyed making them. I’ve just relocated to Northern California after finishing graduate school in Rhode Island and I’m constantly amazed by the variety of the landscape on this new and exciting coast.

Image Description – I had the opportunity to spend the afternoon at Garrapata State Park at the very northern end of the famous Big Sur section of the California Coast. I will take any opportunity I can to get down there, it’s just a different world compared to the Bay Area.
I spent most of the day just hiking around looking for probably compositions and settled on this one for sunset. It was sheltered from the biting wind and there was great access to the surf zone without being too exposed to rogue waves.

Image Description – It was a rough night of beer drinking but I decided that I should wake up nice and early to meet my friends down at the shore to shoot some photos. Ben was there and he’s pretty goofy looking (somewhat like a sasquatch) and also Andy was there, too. Ben proceeded to fall into the ocean while attempting a free solo some of the untamed Newton Ave terrain. I shot this one in between sneezing fits.

Image Description – I understand the hype now.

I spent the afternoon on a whirlwind tour of Yosemite Valley with my girlfriend and some of her family. They were gracious enough to wait around while I waited to see if sunset would cover these beautiful granite features with golden light.

I’m pretty thrilled with this little gift of light on El Capitan and Half Dome and I love the way they look like they’re right next to each other even though they’re at opposite ends of the valley. The light was like this only for a few seconds – I yelled “It’s happening!” and took this shot and then it faded away. We waited around a little longer and if I turned my back to the valley for a second they’d pipe in with “It’s happening!”only to have me turn around to see precisely the opposite. I’m glad they take what I do seriously!

This has definitely fueled the fire in me to go back and spend a lot more time.

Image Description – This one of my favorite shots. Because since I took it, I have been back there numerous times, and haven’t been able to duplicate it. The mood, the light, the wave and sky texture. Everytime I set up to try to make the “magic” happen again, my feet get really wet. This shot was taken in the winter of 2009, at sunset, with a looming winter storm to the west. Watch Hill is a small “suburb” of Westerly, Rhode Island. This photo was taken from East Beach, a pristine public beach, with a great view of Watch Hill Lighthouse, and the Rhode Island Shoreline to the east.
