Field Notes
Beyond the frame, there is always a story. These notes are reflections from the road—the history written into a landscape, the dignity of a new face, and the quiet ways the world continues to change the way I see.
Beyond the Horizon: Finding the Evidence
For years, I chased the 'pretty' picture—the perfect sunset or the dramatic peak. But my eye has changed. I’ve realized that my work is about something much deeper than aesthetics; it has become an act of witnessing. From the sacred scale of the mountains to the fingerprints left behind in the grit and the grain, I’m looking beyond the horizon to find the evidence of a Designer at work.
The Eastern Plains
A journey into the Eastern Plains to find the balance between the perfect order of a sunrise and the earned peace of weathered history. From the 'bones' of the Aroya schoolhouse to the iron legacy of the Hugo Roundhouse, these field notes explore the beauty of divine design found in what remains.
What I Saw in the Coffee Fields of Chiapas
A photo-driven story about the families who grow coffee in Chiapas and what it looks like to witness their work up close.
Learning to Step Closer
I’m learning that better storytelling doesn’t come from standing back—it comes from stepping closer. What started as observation turned into connection, and this coffee shop became a classroom for learning how to see people more fully.
Hope In The Mess
Christmas reminds me that Jesus didn’t wait for things to be put back together. He stepped straight into the brokenness to rescue us.
Learning to See People
Before my trip to Chiapas, I went out on a photo walk not to chase great photos, but to practice seeing people. Street photography is forcing me out of comfort and into awareness—training my eye for moments and stories that won’t wait.
The Holiday Express in Leadville: A Winter Night at the Train Station
We didn’t see it pull in. We came around the corner near the Leadville train station and found the Holiday Express glowing against the night sky—an unexpected moment of warmth, light, and winter stillness.
Winter Reset in the Sawatch Range
The day after Thanksgiving, my wife and I decided to take an impromptu trip up to the Leadville, Colorado area—one of our favorite places to escape to when we need a quick reset.
Photo Walk 120325
A quiet snow day turned into a simple photo walk—slowing down, paying attention, and noticing what I usually pass by.
Time To Stretch
I’ve always been enamored by landscapes. I love their beauty, and for me, I also love the Creator behind them. I love to tell His story by capturing these beautiful canvases.
