On a long drive down the Oregon coast I saw a small island with this one little tree on it. I think the crazy clouds in the background really pull the image together.

This is the liveaboard dive boat I was on while in the Similan Islands. It was awesome coming back to the ship after a late afternoon dive when the sun was starting to set. This trip had some of the best diving I had ever seen.

The Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Chicago is open air and very unique. The lights at dusk set it off against the sky perfectly.

I’m convinced that this is the best yurt at South Beach State Park in Oregon. It is called the Lewis and Clark Yurt. There is a short walk up a little hill to get to it, and it has a private deck that looks out into the tree tops. The ocean is nearby and made for some great sounds to fall asleep to. A little light painting with my headlamp on this long exposure gave the yurt a cool color!

A tiled wall with some good messages. I centered this image around “Create Love Peace by Peace.”

I knew I had to capture this historic hotel in Ashland Oregon, the clouds were perfect and I was able to incorporate what little traffic there was in this town into the shot.

A water taxi passes by some Chicago skyscrapers.

I was out shooting around dusk and wanted to do something a little different with the typical over the top attractions all of the casinos have. Taking this photo at an angle and getting close to the fountain made it unique.

When I was walking home from dinner I came across an old wall and fence of a building that looked like it was being torn down.  I was able to contrast this with some new buildings in the background and the night sky.

I decided to give this building outside my hotel room window an interesting perspecitve as the sun was coming up.  I like the fact that there are just two lights on next to each other in the building.
