Photography, technology, marketing, and life
2023 hasn’t been a year for writing. Or for a lot of intentional photography. My priorities focused heavily on people and experiences, and I’m happy about that. I shot significantly more in 2023, but they were largely snapshots. 5,460 iPhone…
I have some catching up to do. This was the first summer in awhile that ended without me wishing I had done more. It was full of friends and family and adventures. Fall brought more of the same, and a…
I have a pretty small and diverse selection of great friends. It’s true what they say–as you get older, you start to value quality over quantity. Lily has become one of the best. We’ve discovered that we adventure similarly. We’re…
I first saw pictures of the Alvord Desert 10 years ago, and knew it was a place I needed to visit. I never had the opportunity when I lived in Oregon, but after moving back to Montana I started planning…

I realize this has nothing to do with photography, but I had to share. To those of you who have heard of these before, you already know what I’m going to say. To the rest of you, try these now.…
Lily and I have been talking about shooting for half a year. We finally found the time (and weather!) to squeeze in a quick test shoot. She’s an amazing photographer herself, so she was basically reading my mind while we…
In 2004, I shot this blurry photo of my dad in Missoula, MT. When he saw it, he immediately decided that it was the photo he wanted included in his obituary. I have no idea why he instantly thought of…
