For #RockinTuesday I’m sharing the glorious Granite Dells at Watson Lake in Prescott, Arizona.

The juniper tree is the definition of hardy. Somehow it clings on through the heat and the cold, the drought and the wind. Monument Valley is a tough place to live, and a juniper tree doesn’t have the option to pry up its roots and move along to greener pastures. It has its…

Many blessings to everyone who’s donated to my HOSPICE FUND with GOFUNDME, to my crypto wallets and for reposting my updates. I’m struggling to identify some of the people who made crypto donations, but…

Warning, long photography rant incoming: Something I find fascinating about the aurora, especially how we saw it here in Arizona, is how much more vibrant it showed up on the camera. Here I’m providing 3 versions of the same image I took in central AZ.

1. An artistic fine art…

It would take paragraphs of prose to put into words gratitude I have for the two most important mothers in my life: my mom, and my wife — the mother to my daughter. My world is filled with love and support because of them, and as a result I have the privilege of creating…

OMG I can see it the aurora! It’s much fainter with my eyes, camera picks it up much more vividly. This is with my iPhone! Near Saguaro Lake in central Arizona

Can anyone in Arizona see the aurora?? Trying to decide if I should take a drive

Stark. Rugged. Harsh. Beautiful. Monument Valley.

It's baby animal season! Please remember to keep your distance!

DRAMA

When I first showed my dad this photo of Yellowstone’s Gibbon Falls, I jokingly told him it was named after ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons. I think he believed me for a half second 😂

I love when I can get straight-out-of-camera JPGs that need no editing, such as this beauty. I feel like it means something is going right. Very happy with this experiment of custom white balance…

Still absolutely guts me that there’s a small but vocal group of humans who think all wolves should be eradicated. Humans suck. Thanks for this great video Richard Bernabe

Excited to announce that I, along with the immensely talented Larry Lindhahl, have a photography book coming out on July 1st!

It’s honestly a dream come true to have a publisher stand behind my work like this. I battle imposter syndrome daily, and even seeing my work next to…

May is the heart of Arizona’s driest time of year. Cloudless days dominate. The desert turns from green to brown, the high country turns from brown to green. Summer is on the horizon, when the desert dwellers look to escape to the high elevations, and the mountain dwellers are…

Throwback to Maximus’ frenemy.

Rabbit trail: I used to do professional photography. And now I don’t really care about it because I used to chase the photo rather than the memory.

Yesterday, I blocked a commentor on someone’s post because this guy started attacking everyone’s…

This comes from that, a story of erosion. Nature’s most powerful sculpting technique.

Yesterday (at the last minute) my brother-in-law talked me into joining a rec league basketball team. The last time I played in a refereed game was nearly 25 years ago.

Tbh it was ugly from a performance perspective but none of that matters a bit. It got me well out of my…

New week, new possibilities. Let’s rise out of the darkness and step into the light.
