And I got to see it last month, when I did a takeover for the @TravelNewMexico Instagram account. (I won’t make a crude joke here, though the word “hole” just about demands it, don’t you think?) Ahem. The Blue Hole is near Santa Rosa, NM, and...

It’s a new year and I’m all about tying up loose ends. Like some unprocessed photos I made at Lake Murray last year, a small but delightful lake smack in the middle of San Diego. I’m fascinated by line and form, and there were plenty of opportunities...

Sure, tons of snow and single-digit temperatures might make going about your day difficult, but you know what isn’t difficult, oddly enough? Crawling around the yard in pajamas and a down jacket, photographing plants in snow and ice! I’d been griping about...

Fun fact: I was on the road every single month last year except May, and that’s only because I had to stay home and have some medical procedures done. I counted up the days and, get ready: the 2015 total was 105. 105! I don’t know about you, but for me...

We’re getting lots of snow in Taos, which is a good thing, but I thought these images of Ocean Beach (San Diego, CA) from last year might help. You know, if you’re complaining about the cold, just a little. (Though now that I look at them again, they...

I write a column called Fandango for The Taos News, which is all about living a satisfying, productive creative life. (Meaning it’s geared toward artists, writers, and creatives of all stripes.) I just wrote a two-part article about something I’m wildly...

Okay, not really. But since I was just in Nebraska and those animals featured in my visit, I couldn’t resist. Mom and I met at her cousin Delores’s place, where she lives with the titular animals as well as a donkey, some chickens, and her delightful...

Remember how excited I was to go backpacking in Olympic National Park? Yeah. It didn’t happen. I’d been hiking and photographing all over the place, covering a lot of territory in Washington, and was all set with my gear and my permit, good for three...
