I was printing some work for a competition and came across this of Coopers Rock State Park near Morgantown in West Virginia. It wasn't actually successful, but I liked the look of it! #Morgantown #WestVirginia #AlmostHeaven #AYearForArt

Just saw another big sale occur on my Pictorem portfolio. This one was a composite that I made of the moon over WVU Woodburn Hall when clouds stopped me seeing the real thing! I was there and it would have risen there! #AYearForArt #BuyIntoArt #WVU #morgantown

There is a mahogany plantation on the North coast of Kauai that you can walk around. Photos of it tend to be a little stark with the trees planted in rows, but with a bit of artistic license, it can be magic. #Kauai #AYearForArt #Photography #DigitalArt #Landscape

I'm a sucker for a sunset and this was a tricky one to capture at Lake Wenatchee in WA. I wanted a long exposure for the water to smooth out ripples, too bright for the sky, so a bit of blending was required. #sunset #sunsetlovers #photo #photography #nature #shoreline #sunset #lakewenatchee
