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!
