One of my regular gigs is taking photos for a climbing gym. I don't know why, but I liked this photo in particular. #photography #climbing #rockclimbing #SonyA7C

There's this mossed-over statue of a monk I've been walking by for years in Sugar Grove, NC I took a portrait of it a couple years ago with a Sony A6300 my friend sold to me. #photography #outdoors #hiking

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

My buddy Alex took a look at the Lower Yosemite Falls before we went on our first climb together in the Valley. We got to appreciate the cool mist of snow melt water coming off the falls before venturing into a super hot day of climbing. #landscape #waterfall #climber #photography

Grand Teton National Park holds a special place in my heart. I've only been one time, but it was so memorable. I snapped this photo a couple days after I stood on the summit of The Grand. #landscape #landscapephotography #photography #mirrorless #sonyA7C

Dreaming of the day I get to go back to Yosemite Valley for another climbing trip. I snapped this landscape in the morning, on my way out of the valley after an awesome trip. #landscape #landscapephotography #photography #mirrorless #sonya7c

A foggy nightscape of Sugar Grove, NC This is a throwback photo of mine when I first started experimenting with long exposure photography. I'm not that good at this style, but occasionally get something worth sharing #photography #lowlight #nightscape #landscape

Wow - big news here, particularly for our friends in the Cape Fear region. Trump has officially killed PFAS discharge limits in water that the Biden admin had put in place. www.michiganpublic.org/politics-gov...

My good friend, Vinny, charging up the first pitch of The Nose on Looking Glass Rock. #rockclimbing #climbing
A climber is calculating his next move while looking above at an ocean of rock ahead of him. There are no leaves on the trees so the weather must be cold, but it is a bright sunny day. The sky is blue, but clouds wisp by high above.

Throwback photo from when I first picked up a camera and began to grasp the basics. This is a portrait of a dear friend I took in Dec2020, on a socially distanced hike. Still one of my favorites if I'm honest. Golden hour is hard to beat.
Camera perspective: facing a bearded man in winter attire is watching the sunset. His expression is one of admiration of the beautiful scenery. The purples of the sky compliment the oranges and reds of the fading sunlight that shines on him. The man is dressed in a red knit cap with a brown scarf and brown jacket.

The main reason I was on Instagram was to share my photography. But my photos got little traction due to the algorithms and push for reels. I don't expect a big audience here, but I'm hopeful it'll be better here. Here is a photo of an afternoon storm near Grand Teton National Park.
An afternoon thunderstorm rolling in near Grand Teton National Park. The photo shows the distinct line of rain at the core of the storm being preceded by ominous clouds. All of this is reflected in a puddle of water on pavement to a prior rain squall that went by earlier. Grasslands next to the puddle stand in a green yellow contrast to the blue gray of the impeding weather.

I'm here. Not sure where else to be but I figure I'll give this app a try in lieu of meta.
