Sunset at Hug Point

I love Oregon - there is just so much beauty there.  It's almost hard to digest it all.  It seems at every turn, there is something else more beautiful than what you just saw.  I spent some time there recently, and one evening a beach walk turned into a full-on sunset adventure.  Here are 15 photos that show you just how beautiful that evening really was!

A perfect day in Howth

If you ever find yourself in Dublin, Ireland and are looking for a quick escape from the city, consider taking a day trip out to the little fishing village of Howth.  It's a short train ride away, but it feels like you went much further.  Here are two dozen (!) photos from a trip I made out to Howth earlier this year.  Enjoy!

Exploring Plaza Blanca

Back in March, we spent some time in Abiquiu, New Mexico and one afternoon went out to explore a nearby spot known as the White Place, or Plaza Blanca.  It's famous for being the favorite local spot and frequent inspiration of famed artist Georgia O'Keeffe, and it's pretty magnificent.  Today's post is a collection of 23 photos I captured while hiking around there one afternoon.  It's almost a lunar landscape, and I think you will enjoy this.  Have a look!

Not your typical Nashville photos

Today's post is a collection of random pics from my recent travels to Nashville.  It's a beautiful city, but one day I focused on shooting the offbeat and overlooked stuff, instead of the traditionally beautiful spots there.  I like what I came away with.  Shooting things that are usually overlooked is a great exercise for expanding your creative vision.  Have a look!

An unbelievable sunset in Bandon, Oregon

As photographers, we are ever hopeful and optimistic about the light.  We hope and pray for good things to happen in the atmosphere, so we can capture it and share it.  Usually it ends up being ok, but now and then you get a really amazing display of Earth's beauty.  I was lucky enough to have that happen to me recently while in Bandon, Oregon.  Here are 14 pics that show you just how awesome this sunset really was!
