Finally got my shit together in the desert. I think I needed a day to transition into the harsh climate- been on too many beach and waterfall excursions. Today's shoot was at Arch Rock in Joshua Tree.

I had a lot of things in mind for the Cholla Cactus Garden, and almost none of that came into fruition.

This was an impulse shoot folks. We'd just finished up shooting Griffith Park, and I was browsing nearby locations on my phone and found Urban Lights.

WHEW! My first lighting shot ever. Fuck to the hell yah. And it all happened in the Hollywood Hills at Griffith Park.

This under-rated spot in Santa Barbara straight up DELIVERED. I'm still not sure why's called Lizard's Mouth though, it doesn't look like one at all.

This shoot at Smuggler's Cave was a perfect example of everything going wrong. But somehow I came out with something somewhat redeemable.

Heh, today's shoot got a little complicated. BUT- I figured out a new Photoshop technique that I'm excited to share. And this alllllll took place on Pfeiffer Beach in California.

Now THIS was an easy shot. Oh my god. Probably one of my easiest in a LONG time... Today we took photos at Bixby Bridge.

This whole shoot at Point Lobos was basically a bird mania shoot, which wasn't what I was expecting at all. What I was EXPECTING was a lush, vibrant cove with bright blue water type of shoot.

One of the most epic places to take photos in all of San Francisco is Alcatraz Island. But only if you come at the right time...

I honestly have no idea what hit me today. When I got to the top of Sentinel Dome to shoot, I just about lost my mind with creativity. It was an endless fountain.

And just like that we woke up for sunrise. This time, we were at the infamous "Tunnel View" of Yosemite... But the moment I showed up, I knew it was gonna be a difficult shoot.

Glacier View is all about seeing Yosemite from above. Believe it or not, the views in the valley aren't anything compared to what's seen from up here. This is the REAL Yosemite.

Toadie's shoot is at Cook's Meadow in Yosemite. Did I really just type toadie? Ok fuck it I'm keeping that in.

Whew! This was an INSANELY epic shoot at Taft Point- I did not expect this Yosemite to be so nuts. Holy shit.

Alright, alright, alright- I admit it. I cheated with Photoshop today. But who cares, anyway? Today's shoot was at Glass Beach in California.

Oh man, did we get abstract today. Some BRAND new editing techniques on the table, while at Fern Canyon in the Redwoods of California.

Today we got a permit to the most exclusive club in all of the Redwoods- Tall Trees Grove. And oh was this club poppin'.

Fuck... This is going to be a depressing post. If you're not into that go ahead and skip this one. Fortunately this shoot was at Natural Bridges though, an absolutely stunning location.

Probably one of the coolest beach I've seen in all of Oregon- Shore Acres. And all I got was this shot of an old man. If that's not a perfect metaphor for landscape photography, I don't know what is.
