Blog.
Join us for wildlife stories, field notes, and plenty of coastal surprises - from sea lions at the marina to hidden tide pools and a shop full of nature-inspired art.
This blog is a space where I share my experiences exploring wild landscapes and coastal 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 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 and the stories that unfold along the way. Whether you’re a fellow adventurer or someone who simply appreciates the beauty of wildlife - I hope these reflections inspire you to explore more, slow down, and see the world with fresh eyes.
I write from the coast, the trail, and sometimes the passenger seat. Sign up for photo essays, behind-the-scenes notes, and exclusive travel guides.

Sea Lions at the Marina ⚓️☀️
This week's Wildlife Wednesday stays local with the California sea lions of Marina del Rey. After a year of weekend visits to Burton Chace Park, I'm starting to recognize the regulars. Plus: important NOAA guidelines for keeping your distance.
