Captured: OKC

In 2011, I left Oklahoma City for the west coast. Since then, OKC has undergone a massive transformation. With every return visit, I see my former stomping grounds at a new angle.

Be good to each other,

Captured: Crystal and Sheep Lakes

On a sunny and cloudless day, Mount Rainier makes its presence fully known. After a winter locked away avoiding rain drops, the mountain over my shoulder could no longer be ignored. A hike through its fog covered valleys and around pristine lakes with the promise of grand vistas lured me from the comfort of my apartment.

Captured: Zion National Park

Isn’t it amazing how photos can transport us to a time and a place? These photos take me back to simpler times. Tim would call me about a road trip he dreamed up, we would chat for a bit, and a long weekend would find itself on my calendar. As I edited these photos, I thought about how special this trip was and how much I miss him. I hope you enjoy.

Be good to each other,

Captured: San Francisco at New Angles

Last August, we visited San Francisco for a week. Given that I have photographed this city before, I made myself follow a simple rule; No Golden Gate Bridge. Below, are my results.

Captured: Carl S. English Botanical Garden

There must be some sort of payoff after months of rain. On days when the sun is shining and flowers are in full bloom, I can make an argument that Seattle is one of the most beautiful places in America. These days make the rain worth it.

Captured: North Cascades National Park

North Cascades National Park is one of those places I want everyone to know about, but I want to keep completely to myself. It is a place of outstanding beauty with vistas defying description. I have lived in Washington for a long time and I have visited the park more times than I count. Each time, it leaves me astounded.

Be good to each other,

Captured: Ocean Shores

Visiting the Washington coast in early Spring, means battling the elements to find a good shot. On this particular weekend, it was cold, gray, windy, and raining. Still, there was beauty to be found. There was also another reminder that we live in a beautiful place.

Be good to each other,

Captured (24 Hours in Seattle): 12 AM-2AM

Exiting the pandemic, Seattle has a few more bumps and bruises than she did before this all began. I still struggle with the very idea of this place as home, but it remains one of my favorite places in the world. Over a 24 hour period (2 hours at a time), I hope to show Seattle’s unique beauty as we await better days.

Be good to each other,

Captured (Washington Parks): Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park

Sure, it is called “The Evergreen State,” but Washington is much more than Douglas Firs and sweeping mountain vistas. It is varied in its beauty. No setting proves this point more profoundly than Washington’s parks. In this series, we will be showcasing Washington state via its protected and shared spaces. East or West, North or South, I hope you will agree that this place is special.
