On Martin Luther King Day, I woke up at 4:00am for a drive out to the beach. Wanting to arrive for dawn, I shot the beach the lazy way. Handheld and high ISO’s. I then quickly changed my lens to the beast – the 500mm L, in hopes […]

It’s hard to believe that I’ve managed to complete my photography Project 365. It has been an incredible journey in so many ways. Not only did it make me get out daily and think about capturing something special, it also opened up doors for creativity. Many new friends […]
