Hello from Austin! I feel like it’s been a while since I’ve said hi. Been out here working on some photo projects. Looking forward to exploring this city a bit.

2025.12.05 Sequoia (Pear Lake) A couple photos shot around 10pm. Hiked all day only to find a frozen lake. Wasn’t quite expecting that. I probably should’ve known better, but thankful I had just enough gear. The night got down to 29°F (-1.67°C). On the plus side, no one had been here for weeks; no tracks in the snow.

2025.07.25 Sandpiper Lake to Lou Beverly Lake Pleasantly surprised to find good camping spots at both of these lakes. A feeling of relief once I had camp set up. Spent the rest of the afternoon photographing and exploring around Lou Beverly Lake. Elevation 10,000 ft. 1. Lou Beverly Lake 2. Campsite 4 3.

2025.07.25 Views from Sandpiper Lake. I was struck by vastness of the sky and the extreme harshness of the granite. Didn’t see a single soul all day. I was a tiny speck of a person plodding through this enormous landscape. Kodak Portra 400 #portra400 #filmphoto #johnmuirwilderness #backpacking #camping

(Hey, just a quick break from the outdoor photos…) I’ve recently come across a Mamiya RB67 and have been testing it out. It’s such a large camera and negative, so that’s a new (slower) process for me. Here’s a portrait off the first test roll with @grainyportraits_ana . I might come bug some of you for a portrait. Hopefully I can shoot more of them this year. Mamiya RB 67 Kodak Gold 200 Developed and scanned by @35mpro #filmphoto #kodakgold200 #mamiyarb67 #mediumformat #portrait

2025.07.24 8pm at Sandpiper Lake. A day off trail hiking over these ridges. Looking for a place to camp. I met a hiker three days earlier who mentioned staying at this lake. Glad I had that little interaction. It put my mind at ease. iPhone 16 Pro

2025.07.25 Hiking between lakes. I was trying to find a campsite, so I could attempt a reasonable (14 miles) hike back to my car the next day. In retrospect, I wish I could’ve taken more time exploring this area. Just so many cool photo possibilities here.

2025.07 John Muir Wilderness “The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.” — John Muir I spent a week in the John Muir Wilderness for my birthday last July. Each day was incredibly adventuresome. I had no clue what I’d see or encounter, or where I’d sleep for that matter. I had photographed the Sierra from the outside, but to walk through it was an entirely richer experience. I feel as if it’s the only way to appreciate the grandeur and immense solitude.

2025.08 Sequoia & Kings Canyon Five nights alone in the SEKI Wilderness. I found myself inexplicably drawn to the countless lakes, giant granite slabs, spirits in the trees, and the gorgeous light. Can’t forget about that light… 1. Kodak Portra 400 2. Kodak Pro Image 100 3. Kodak Pro Image 100 #kodakprofessional #sequoia #kingscanyon #portra400 #proimage100
