Plaza de Armas

Prior to my visit this summer, Holly and I had been to Santiago, Chile two other times. Both times, however, were basically 24 hour stop-overs on the way to Easter Island, off the Chilean coast. To that extent, it felt a little strange to be in Santiago and not...

When the Haze Turns Pink

This is a fun one. I have this rule about sunsets - never give up until you see the first stars - then you can leave. On this particular evening I was convinced nothing was going to happen. Santiago was particularly hazy, and the sky was just cloudy. Everything was...

Night at the Charleston City Market

Have you ever been to the Charleston City Market? It's a classic spot in Charleston, steeped in history, and surrounded by some amazing places to eat (and snack!). It's always on mine and Holly's to-do list when we visit Charleston. Earlier this summer when we...

Tim Line at the Mount LeConte Lodge

If you have hung around this blog for some time, you'll know that photography is a passion and a hobby of mine, but it's not my career (or if you didn't know that... now you do!). I want photography to remain an artistic outlet for me, without the pressures of...

Fishing for the Milky Way

Earlier in the summer I shared our annual family photo from the beach (we call it Camp Manitou), but I didn't take the time at that point to share any artistic images from our time at Isle of Palms, so I wanted to do that now. Last year I captured a picture of the...

Sunset in Queen Canyon

So for the last couple of weeks, I've been sharing images I made while out in the Arizona desert. I mentioned that I had met my friend here for the express purpose of photographing the Milky Way in dark skies, but I also just wanted to do some exploring around to see...

Cactus Under the Stars

It's a Picture of the Week two for one! 🙂 I mentioned last week that I had met my friend Allen out in the desert earlier this year so that we could photograph the Milky Way. Our skies here in the eastern United States have just been destroyed with light pollution,...

Late Light in the Desert

Alright, this week I'm kicking off my series of images from the Arizona desert! It's not often that I get to photograph with friends when I'm out of town. It does happen every so often, but generally speaking I'm by myself. This trip was an exception however. My...

The Blount County Courthouse at Sunset

My good friend Tom Vadnais often talks about taking pictures "around your home" or in the city where you live. For practice, yes, but also to not miss the beauty that you're constantly surrounded by. I'll be honest and say that when I think of taking pictures...

Rhododendron in Bloom By the Stream

This week's Picture of the Week is a special one for a number of reasons. First, the picture is one of my favorites from the year so far - I absolutely love this image. Typically when I think of stream scenes, I think of the fall, and this image is a great...
