Playa Guiones, Nosara, Costa Rica

New Traditions

One of my favorite things about life in Nosara is the sunset tradition. Just about everyone in town gathers at the beach for this magical golden hour. Some enjoy the surf, some a long walk on the beach, and some a cocktail or two as they watch the golden orb make its way to the …

Zebra and Sunbeams

If I had to describe Namibia’s Etosha National Park in only two words, it would be zebra and sunbeams, because there are a lot of both. This is a photo I took at one of the more popular watering holes, Okaukuejo, for both animals and safari enthusiasts. We only stayed one night at this beautiful camp …

Another Dreamy Dune

This is another of my favorite photos from the aerial photography tour I did in Namibia. I love the shapes that the dunes create. My little dream is to do an exhibition of these photos printed in large format. Magic 41/365, Another Dreamy Dune, Namib Desert, Namibia

Playa Pelada, Nosara, Costa Rica

Worth It

This is a photo I took with my mother’s new-at-the-time iPhone on a trip we took to Nosara in March of 2015. To this day it is still my favorite photo that I have taken there (I plan to one-up it soon). Today we are heading back to Nosara for the foreseeable future. It has been a …

Namibia

The Expanse

Looking forward to getting settled in at my next destination (moving to Costa Rica TODAY) so I can process another round of my epic Namibian Adventure photos. I think next I will do the pics of my five days on safari in Etosha National Park. But for now, here is another photo from my photo …
