Blog.

Through my lens and words, this blog is a space where I share my experiences exploring wild landscapes, coastal escapes, and hidden gems. My photography is guided more by instinct than by rules - grounded in what moves me, not just what looks good on print. I’m drawn to quiet scenes, raw textures, and the in-between moments that often go unnoticed. Each frame is less about technical perfection and more about capturing a feeling.

From the rugged shores of California to the vast beauty of the Southwest, I document my journeys with an eye for detail, atmosphere, and the subtle stories that unfold along the way. Whether you’re a fellow adventurer, a photography enthusiast, or someone who simply appreciates the beauty of the outdoors, I hope these reflections inspire you to explore more, slow down, and see the world with fresh eyes.

Check back often for travel stories, photography insights, and the ever-changing heart of the places I love.

I can’t help but bring my camera each visit, hoping to catch a new expression, an unexpected moment, or just the simple joy of watching these animals in their element.

Why Malibu Seafood Is Worth the Wait: Fresh Seafood, Ocean Views & the Best Clam Chowder

I can’t count the number of times I’ve eaten at Malibu Seafood. It’s one of those places that you return to over and over, not because you haven’t tried anything else, but because why would you? Whenever friends or family visit, there’s always that one go-to restaurant that feels a little more special than the rest, the one that never lets you down. For me (and, let’s be honest, for a lot of people), that’s Malibu Seafood.
