My 5 favorite photos from 2024

Sometimes we need to be reminded the of the lessons we teach others. Welcome friends!  As I say every year, it is my favorite post of the year!  Generally I start these off with a bit of a family update, but if you'll humor me a conversation about photography first, I promise I'll get to the family update (though I have no idea if anyone actually reads these, or just come to look at the pictures - either is fine, really).

Gum Nebula Setting in Joshua Tree

Nerd out time!  The next couple of weeks are going to be a bit more technical than normal, so if you're just here for the pretty pictures - which I'm guessing is most of you? - then you can skip this read.  OR, follow along and learn something new.  🙂 If you've been...

Cook’n up the galaxy

Perhaps just as surprising as old cars out in the middle of the desert, is a 50's era oven riddled with bullet holes.  Well, maybe the bullet holes are not all that unexpected given the location, but the oven itself is not something I would anticipate coming across...

Night at the Joshua Tree Junkyard

An ode to the weird things you see in the desert. For the last several years, I've made it a point to get out to Joshua Tree National Park to meet up with my buddy Mark for a long weekend of night photography out in the desert.  I absolutely love going out there,...

Beauty at Japanese Shrines

Views of Mount Fuji

The first time I visited Japan, back in 2018, I didn't quite appreciate how lucky I had been to see so much of Mount Fuji, and experience such nice conditions.  As it turns out, the mountain is often covered in clouds (you'll hear it being said that the mountain is...

Views of Dubai

Welcome back to the Middle East!  I mentioned last week that we'd be wrapping up the Middle East tour here on Picture of the Week in United Arab Emirates, a country I had been to previously.  This go around I only visited Dubai, and I have to admit, exploring it the...

Views of Qatar
