MY BEST SHOTS OF 2015
Here are my favorite images from 2015. What a year!
At the end of each year, I look back at the images I've made and select my favorites. This year I shot over 30,000 frames, and these are my best 15. Enjoy!

















Did I say 15? I meant 17.

I love soccer and recently I had the opportunity to shoot a couple of matches at the University of Portland, home to the Pilots, legendary powerhouses of collegiate soccer.
On our road trip through the Sierra Nevada, we spent a couple of days in Yosemite National Park. Here are some of my images from that all-too-brief visit to this incredible place.
On my recent road trip with Jeff Carlson, I spent an afternoon photographing Bodie, California, an abandoned gold mining town from the 1800’s. This post contains some of my images from that visit.
I’ve started a podcast with my good friend Jeff Carlson. This is a short story of how it came to be.
I just finished building my home office. It’s been a three-year slog filled with hard lessons and small victories. In this post, I talk about the process of turning a very old room into a modern creative space.
My camera has a mode where it will combine numerous images into one mega-resolution image with incredible detail. I tested this time-consuming way of shooting by photographing old boats in Coos Bay, Oregon. In this post I explain the process, my workflow and how the images turned out.
The Hawaiian island of Kauai is paradise. I spent a week there and came home with thousands if images. In this post I review the trip and share my photos. Grab an umbrella drink and enjoy!
If you can slow down and linger, your life will be better and maybe your photos will be too.
Iceland has ice, go figure. In this post I write about my glorious morning on “Diamond Beach” in southern Iceland, where amazing chunks of glacial ice tumble about on a rocks beach for photographer’s amusement.
I’m not sure my trip to Iceland was a good idea. What do you do when the trip of a lifetime leaves you wondering if it was worth it?
On my trip to Iceland, I bopped around the island in a bright green camper van. Here’s my trip recap and review of living my best #vanlife in the land of fire and ice.
I’ve been flying drones for a while now, and I love the freedom a flying camera affords. Why climb a mountain when you can fly up it?
When it comes to camera gear, a lot of photographers will tell you that it's not about the gear. They'll say that the person behind the camera is more important than the technology. I don't think the relationship is that lop-sided. Let me explain.
This year's workshop is in the books. Here is my take on a week in the San Juan Islands with some of my favorite people.
I didn't plan to shoot the Great American Eclipse, but I did it anyway. And I would do it again!
I've been distracted by my new flying cameras. It's a whole new world when you can place your camera anywhere!
I just wrapped up my annual photography workshop. This time we explored the Palouse, a land of incredible beauty and not-so-great hotels. Here is my recap.
There are a lot of babies out there, and I'm not talking about the tiny human kind. In this post I ponder the need to listen to the complainers of the world.
When making photographs, we often forget to not be boring. My friend Gino Barasa reminds us all not to suck.
It's been over a year since my last In my Bag video and a lot has changed with my kit. Here's a fresh look at what I use these days.
