After photographing an amazing sunrise over the Manhattan skyline (also available as a VAST photo!), I was waiting for the bus to get back through the tunnel. However, what I didn't plan for was, it was now the middle of morning rush hour going into the city, and every bus passing by was full! After about a half dozen buses went by, I decided to wander around to burn some time. I hadn't even walked a block when I noticed this view through the trees and across the street. There was fairly heavy traffic, but I knew if I was patient and quick when the light turned red in one direction I would be able to catch a break. After about 10 minutes I got my chance. It only lasted a short moment, but it was enough!
I hope you enjoy this unique view of the Manhattan skyline!
Ahhh, the Tetons. If you asked a young child to draw "mountains" -- this is exactly what they would look like! Jagged, pointy, all lined up in a perfect row, they are the embodiment of the word "mountain".
I'd spent a day or two in the Tetons here and there, on family trips, or passing through. I knew someday I would have to return to give the area a closer look. This trip started out as another one of those times, as I had plans to stay for two days and move on to somewhere else. After two incredible days, though, I decided to cancel my other plans and spend the rest of the week in the Tetons.
There are several VERY popular vantage points from which these mountains are commonly photographed. While I did visit a few of them, and I intended to visit one of them on this morning, nature had other ideas as it was shrouded in thick fog. I quickly started to scan for possible locations across the valley where I might be able to get above the fog to watch the sunrise. I tried one road, but it didn't go up high enough. I was then able to locate this mountain, and after gaining about 1000 feet of elevation, the fog gave way to this jaw-dropping view.
The scene was incredibly dynamic, with clouds drifting over the peaks and the fog changing colors. Thanks to the clear mountain air and sweeping views, I was able to capture five VAST photos over the course of a few hours, before heading back down the hill into the fog to start a 15-mile hike, which was also lovely! Over this trip, I hiked around 80 miles, which included a summit of Middle Teton, the second highest peak in the range and prominently visible in the center of this VAST photo. It was a long day, but one of the most rewarding summits I've stood on, and it made the photos from the trip much more special. I hope you're able to enjoy it as well!

The rolling hills of the Bay Area are quite the spectacle in spring. They feel impossibly green, and photographed at the right moment, they catch the most amazing light! These hills are in San Jose, California.
One memory that sticks with me, several years back, I was boarding an evening flight from Portland to San Jose. I saw an open window seat, and got my camera out. The woman sitting in the aisle remarked, "Why do you need a camera? It's just San Jose." I just nodded and smiled, but in my head I knew I would make it a mission to show the world otherwise. I hope images like this help!
The hills of the Bay Area are endless sources of inspiration, for photography, hiking, and wandering. In addition to photographing for myself, I also photograph for Marin Agricultural Land Trust, a local nonprofit that helps farmers and ranchers and has preserved over 55,000 acres of farmland in Marin County. As such, I have met so many incredible people and I hope I'm able to do justice to their stories, and the rich history of their lands.
For this photo, I used my meteorology knowledge to forecast a perfect foggy spring morning that would be perfect for photos.
As of the time of publishing, there is no other image like this in existence, and perhaps there will never be. This Marin County location is not accessible to the public, but it is protected forever, and I feel fortunate and grateful to be able to share this view with you!
It started in a quiet moment, walking through a high-end homeware store in London—not looking for anything, just letting my eyes wander. That’s when I saw them: a stack of cork table mats, about 28x23cm in size, tucked among glossy ceramics and designer glassware. They weren’t trying to stand out, but the natural patterns pulled me in. Swirls, flecks, and veins—like satellite images of ancient riverbeds or the bark of old trees. I felt like I was holding a fragment of a forest.
As a photographer, I’ve always been drawn to texture and detail. There was something quietly powerful about these surfaces—organic, earthy, raw. I didn’t see table mats. I saw potential. I brought them back to my studio and began capturing them in ultra-high resolution, using careful lighting to draw out every line and grain. I treated them like landscapes, exploring them with my lens the way one might explore a coastline or cliff face.
What you see in this collection are not just close-ups of cork. They’re moments where nature’s language meets abstraction. At large scale, they transform—no longer mats, but bold, textural statements. Each piece invites you to get lost in the patterns and discover something new every time you look. It’s a reminder that beauty often hides in quiet, unexpected places. All you have to do is notice.

This panoramic image beautifully captures a tranquil pathway meandering through a dense bluebell forest in Hertfordshire, UK. The narrow trail is gently carved into a vibrant carpet of blooming bluebells, their rich purple hues standing out in striking contrast against the fresh, green foliage of the tall trees. The vertical lines of the tree trunks create a natural corridor that leads the viewer’s eye deep into the serene woodland.
The symmetry of the scene is calming, with rows of trees perfectly aligned, forming a canopy that softly filters the daylight. The cool tones of the bluebells and the fresh green of the spring leaves offer a harmonious palette that evokes peace and renewal. This stunning natural display is typical of the British countryside during the spring season and highlights the untouched beauty of Hertfordshire’s ancient woodlands.
Ideal for nature lovers, hikers, and photography enthusiasts, this image celebrates the enchanting magic of spring in a quintessential English forest. The combination of light, color, and composition makes this landscape a perfect depiction of seasonal renewal and woodland serenity.
