Mountain Sun Flares - This is a photo that I took a few years ago in Lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. I was on an early morning hike with all of my gear in tow. While exploring the sites I came across this crooked path and decided to stop for a shot. The heat from the summer sun was highlighting the trees and blanketing the grass. I thought it was quite a beautiful scene. I was able to catch some really interesting sun flares in the shot too which added to the overall charm. The deep blue sky reflecting on the ice-capped mountains in the background was the cherry on top. Can you imagine living in one of these homes and waking up to this view every day? What a life that would be. Quote: "May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds." Edward Abbey
I always enjoy going back and editing photos from Antelope Canyon. The rock formations are all so varied and uniquely shaped. A quick crop can transform your shot into something entirely new. I also love diving back into the memories that go along with it. Travel opens you up to new experiences and the things that you see and capture can be an endless fountain of creative inspiration when you get back. This day is still a source of inspiration for me years later. Quote: "A mind stretched by new experiences can never go back to its old dimensions." Oliver Wendell Holmes
Beautiful Montmartre Paris. Montmartre is a beautiful old neighborhood in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. It sits high up on a hill and offers a unique view of the city. It has those quintessentially steep cobblestone streets and as you can imagine it's a great location for photography. For this photo, I wanted to capture some motion in the shot. I think it's fun to add in a little blur from time to time. It helps to tell the story and brings the viewer closer to the moment that the photo was taken. "People forget years and remember moments."
