An iconic Pacific Northwest scene of Punchbowl Falls pouring into a rocky grotto lined with vibrant green mosses and ferns. While inspiring landscapes such as this often seem like permanent fixtures, statues sculpted from the most impervious stone imaginable, we are sometimes reminded just how fragile the Earth is. Due to the careless acts of a group of teenagers, who thoughtlessly tossed firecrackers into Eagle Creek Canyon, the Eagle Creek Wildfire of 2017 ravaged the canyon in which Punchbowl Falls resides, and the full impact of the damage remains to be seen. Prints Available.

There is no place that I feel more alive, more connected to what is important, than the wilderness. Whether an icy mountain summit, a misty forest, or a rocky coastline, the wild places of the world feel like home to me. While my love for the outdoors precedes my passion for photography, I now could not imagine having one without the other. Add a car to the equation, and the result for me is the feeling of absolute freedom, where the possibilities are limited only by my imagination and willpower. View more posts
