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.
Yosemite National Park
Towards the end of June, my girlfriend and I camped just outside Yosemite for five days. The weather was excellent, with a chill in the mornings and highs in the low-60s. We hiked Mt. Dana (the second highest peak in Yosemite) and explored the National Park. Some of my favorite images from the trip are below. They were all created with a Canon R5 camera and either a 15-35mm, 24-70mm, or 70-200mm lens. One of the pictures was created with an iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Lassen Volcanic National Park
At the beginning of August 2023, my girlfriend and I camped for 5 days in Lassen Volcanic National Park. We hiked Mt. Lassen and explored quite a bit of the park. I hope you enjoy some of my favorite images from the trip!

Death Valley National Park
Over spring break I camped in Death Valley National Park for four nights. The park was one of the largest I’ve been to (only Yellowstone was comparable in size). It was great to get outside and explore the desert. I even experienced some snowfall at the higher elevations, which was pretty incredible. Below are some of my favorite photos from the trip. All the pictures were made on a Canon R5 using either an RF 15-35mm lens or an EF 70-200 mm lens. These were all edited in Adobe Lightroom Classic.

Khola, Newbury Park, California
Over the course of the lockdown due to COVID-19, I started on a small photography project. I photographed my dog, Khola over the course of several different evenings. I challenged myself to use a variety of lenses including a 50mm prime lens, a 16-35mm wide angle lens, a 24-70mm lens, a 100mm macro lens, and finally a 70-200mm telephoto lens. I compiled the best images from the different evenings. Check them out!
Happy Quarantine! I hope everyone has managed to stay safe and healthy.

San Francisco, California
During the course of the three-day weekend for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, I went to San Francisco, California with two friends. We photographed the Golden Gate Bridge, downtown San Francisco, and the East side of San Francisco. It was an awesome experience!

All the photographs were created using a Canon 5D Mark IV along with a 16-35mm lens. The wide-angle provided some challenges for the street photography, but it forced me to get creative and make use of what I had available.
