Sunday was her first time outdoors - so we took her to the roof of the Oslo Opera. Red dress, white marble, one lens and a model who had no business being this good on her third shoot ever. She was!

A little coastal lighthouse time. Along the Oregon coast is full of stunningly beautiful nature and scenes to immerse yourself in. Occasionally there is the added human element as presented today. Hope you enjoy. #photography #landscapephotography #lighthouse

That Tree. Early in my reconnection with photography and my first digital camera I shot the Wānaka tree. Sadly these days it possesses less limbs than in this image, but continues to sit proudly in the water. The LE image was taken in the last light of the day. #photography

Sand, sand, sand… Everywhere I looked, in every bit of clothing, in every piece of kit and somehow, even into my food and drink. But how good was it to be in the dunes as the sun moved across the sky and settled below the horizon. #photography

A young person stands on a large, flat rock atop a jagged shoreline of dark gray boulders, facing away from the camera toward the vast ocean. They have their arms outstretched to the sides in a gesture of freedom or embrace. The individual is wearing a gray oversized hoodie and blue floral shorts. The scene is set at sunset, with the sky filled with wispy clouds painted in vibrant shades of deep purple, soft pink, and glowing orange. These colors reflect across the surface of the calm water, creating a peaceful and awe-inspiring atmosphere.
