“To the artist there is never anything ugly in nature.” –Auguste Rodin
Some places that’s a challenging proposition, but here in Oregon it’s not hard to find beauty at every turn!
I will admit, I’m a sucker for water reflection shots. If they’re reflecting brilliant reds and oranges from the autumnal canopy, so much the better! 🧡

After hiking through the woods and getting throughly turned around and literally going around in circles and retracing my steps, this was my mood! 😱
(Don’t worry, I found my way out eventually… all is well. 😜)

All the fall colors on the trees everywhere are simply breathtaking! I was talking with my wife in the car the other day and completely lost my train of thought looking at the view out the window. The natural beauty of Oregon continues to amaze me.

Rose blooming season by and large is coming to a close, but there are still some amazing 🌹 flowers to be seen. Have I told you how much I love roses? Could photograph them all day every day! 😍

Working in the Pearl District of #portland when it’s such gorgeous weather out feels like cheating. If there’s any legit use of the hashtag “blessed,” this is it!
Over the weekend, I spent a glorious day in #portland shooting a mega ton of footage for the trailer to my revamped YouTube channel. Also got to put my new Canon EOS 77D through its paces. I’m wild with anticipation how the final edit’s going to turn out! 🙌
We’re approaching the end of the main season for rose blossoms, so I was thrilled that the Rose Garden up in Washington Park in Portland, OR still has some exquisite roses blooming. Check it out if you’re in the area…one of my favorite spots in the city!

Been going through my photos at Cannon Beach this summer and picking out the cream of the crop. This is one of those places that gets hyped up as a big tourist destination, but it’s absolutely justified. One of the best oceanside experiences I’ve ever had my life. #oregonexplored
