I'm a landscape and wildlife photographer based in northern Arizona. Sometimes I share woodworking creations or blog posts/guides I've written.
All photographs captured by me. I share images from past and current travels around the world.

White-bellied Sea-Eagle. These massive birds have a wingspan of up to 7 feet and are found from India to Australia. I captured these from a small boat in Kakadu National Park in Australia.

A saddleback, photographed in the wild on New Zealand’s North Island. These birds, once nearly extinct, are now thriving again thanks to conservation efforts and predator-free sanctuaries like Zealandia.

The milky way sets behind aspens and a lone pine.
I captured this from the driveway last night testing out some new equipment. Before the end of the summer l am hoping to capture some more timelapse footage for my project.

Metallic starlings, also called shining starlings, photographed in the wild at Daintree National Park, Queensland, Australia.
I spent a slow and quiet walk through the rainforest waiting for them to settle into my presence.

A still photo from the short timelapse I shared over the weekend. The core of our Milky Way galaxy setting in the summer behind aspens and a veil of clouds.
This was captured in a Bortle 2 sky site.

Here is a short astrophotography timelapse of the Milky Way setting behind some aspen trees in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Last night I was able to get out and capture this just as the incoming storm clouds made their way across northern Arizona.

A river of stars flows above the slopes of the San Francisco Peaks. This is one of several images on display at Lowell Observatory if you happen to make a visit.

Now is a great time to look to the east just after sunset and see the Belt of Venus. The dark layer is the Earth’s shadow stretching into space. The pink band is called the Belt of Venus which is sunlight scattered in the atmosphere above the shadow.

Humpback whale breaching in Alaska.
I haven’t been up north in far too long. Hopefully next summer we can make a trip to see the northern lights and catch some wildlife along the way. Maybe make a road trip out of it.

Summertime astro adventures in Northern Arizona
Once the moon starts rising later this week you’ll be able to see the Milky Way high in the sky after sunset.
Have you got out this summer and gone stargazing?

The saddleback or tīeke belongs to New Zealand's unique wattlebird family, an ancient group which includes the endangered kōkako and the extinct huia.

A lone ponderosa pine I found in the most unlikely of places, growing seemingly out of the volcanic rock inside the amphitheater of a cinder cone in the San Francisco volcanic field.

One of the oldest living things on earth, an ancient bristlecone pine. The long exposure allowed for nothing but starlight to accumulate and light up the foreground against our galactic home, the Milky Way.
