Chicago, Illinois

My girlfriend and I traveled to Chicago at the end of November and into the beginning of December. It was cold (as low as -6 °F wind chill the morning we photographed The Bean!), but so much fun. Our diet consisted of 90% deep dish pizza, we found some amazing pour over coffee, and got to experience my Dad’s hometown. We truly had so much fun.

All the photographs were created using a Canon R5 Mark II with a 15-35mm or 70-200mm lens, or an iPhone 16 Pro Max. These pictures were edited in Adobe Lightroom Classic.

Joshua Tree National Park

Near the end of February, my sister and I spent a weekend camping in Joshua Tree National Park. The weekend had excellent weather (lows in the upper 30s and highs in the low 60s). It was genuinely refreshing to be outside, camping in the desert. Some of my favorite images from the weekend are below. The pictures were created using a Canon EOS R5 with a 15-35mm or 70-200mm lens, and edited in Adobe Lightroom Classic.

Pinnacles National Park

In December 2023, I spent the better part of a week in Pinnacles National Park with my girlfriend. It was a bit rainy, but we stayed relatively dry and explored most of the park. Some of the hikes were truly excellent. I hope you enjoy my favorite images from the trip. The pictures were created using a Canon R5 and a 15-35mm, 24-70mm, 70-200mm, or 400mm lens. All the photos were edited in Adobe Lightroom Classic.

Europe Landscapes

This past summer I spent a month in Europe with my sister traveling to Madrid, Spain, Barcelona, Spain, Paris, France, Berlin, Germany, Herisau, Switzerland, Venice, Italy, and Rome, Italy. Below are some of my favorite landscape photographs from my time there. Personally, Madrid, Paris, and Berlin were especially memorable. That said, great food was abound and experiencing a taste of the cultures was an incredible experience in each location we visited.

Berkeley, California

Over the past several months, I completed a master’s degree at UC Berkeley. During that time I developed a running collection of photographs from Berkeley, California. Berkeley gave me so much in my short time there, and I’m grateful for the experience. I fell in love with the weather, the energy…I just loved it.

The last picture features a man I met one morning. He seemed to be having a tough time, so I asked how he was. He said he was feeling a little depressed and we ended up talking for about 30 minutes. I learned how smart he is (he could code in five different languages), how he loves his family, and how he misses his seven year-old daughter. His name is Brandon and I’m glad I met him.
