New Ways to Play in the Sand
That’s what I love most about this project. I am always finding new ways to play, with whatever the subject may be. In this case, sand. Magic 180/365, New ways to play in the Sand, Nosara, Costa Rica, June 11, 2018
The Oryx and the Dune
Sounds like the title of some really profound Sufi poem, but it’s not. It’s just the only thing my tired mind could think of. I am officially caught up on my blog now. I am still in the race and heading for the half-way mark and then on to the finish line. And with this last …
Dune in the Morning
I am spending the next few days working through the photos of the dunes in Namib-Naukluft park. I LOVED photographing in this park. The stark contrast the sun created when it rose over the dunes made for beautiful imagery. Magic 175/365, Dune in the Morning, Namib-Naukluft Park, December 31, 2017
Deadvlei Panoramic
This is an HDR panoramic I did of Deadvlei in Namib-Naukluft Park in Namibia. It was only 9am but already the light was so bright, but I love the colors the light brought out in the dunes. Magic 174/365, Deadvlei Panoramic, Namibia
The Color Purple
Purple is not a color you see much in nature, especially in the desert. That’s why I find it so surprising to be coming through loud and clear in many of my HDR photos of Deadvlei in Namib-Naukluft park in Namibia. Magic 173/365, The Color Purple, Deadvlei, Namibia, January 2018
Dune 54
This is a picture I took from the bottom of Sossusvlei’s most infamous dune, Dune 54. This is the dune that everyone talks about hiking to the top of and watching the most glorious sunrise. This was the plan we had for this dune but unfortunately, our plans weren’t good enough. We didn’t know that …
Misty Morning in Sossusvlei
This is a photo I snapped from the parking lot where we waited for the shuttle that took us the last sandy leg of the journey to Sossusvlei. Yes, even the parking lot was mesmerizingly beautiful! We woke at 5 am every morning to catch the sunrise over the dunes and each morning there was …

Brasstown Falls
This is a very special place for me. I first visited Brasstown Falls during a week-long sustainability workshop in South Carolina during my senior year of high school. On the last day of the workshop, they rounded us up into a bus and drove us to Long Creek and then we hiked to this waterfall. …
Man Against Mountain
I took this photo during an HDR workshop with Trey Ratcliff. The picture is of his good friend, business partner, and fellow photographer, Curtis Simmons, walking back up the road talking on the phone. I would like to revisit these photos a reprocess them. This one I would do in color. Magic 165/365, Man Against …
