2014 Was a Big Year

It was fresh and exciting, full of transition, and adventures. I left my engineering job and took a 6 month road trip through the West coast of America visiting California, Arizona, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Washington & Oregon. During my travels I took 50,000 still images, 20,000 timelapse images (which I have yet to release any of), and 200GB of video clips (which I sadly won’t have time to get to). I did my best to select the 10 best images from my trip to share with you all.

Without further adieu my 10 best photos of 2014

What’s Next?

While I will still be traveling to great photo locations in 2015 (including Hawai’i, Norway & Iceland), I’m shifting my focus to teaching the camera shooting techniques as well as post processing techniques that I use to create all my images. One of the best things that I did this year was taking the time and learning from other photographer’s whom I admire. I bought training videos and asked for constructive criticism. It really helped me advance my craft and progress as an artist. I only wish I had taken this training years ago!

So if you are like me and feel like your work should be better, then I encourage you to seek out people to learn from.

Stay tuned for workshop announcements as well as new video tutorial releases. I will also be holding group online editing sessions where I will walk through my digital workflow process and show you how to make the magic happen in post.

I’m always open to scheduling one-on-one training as well so if you are interested in that please contact me directly.
