Around Milford Sound

Leaving Home

The Grand Canyon, AZ. 2005. My first of many solo trips across the country. We got a good track of land here in the USA.



Heading west. Pursuing dreams and aspirations. Unknowns. Alone. I am so thankful for Rob and Jean offering their home to me! Knowing I had a place to stay was the deciding factor for coming to school in California. The generosity of these two people is a wonderful testament to a loving family, good friends, helping those you love. Thank you both so much! Words seem to fall short, but with all of my heart, thank you!

Reflection #2

Reflection.
Learning from the past. Little things in life that stick with you. Looking at things in a new light. Images I took a long time ago that were 'accidents' or horribly composed can be seen with a new sense of balance and understanding. Knowledge from the present applied to aspects of the past to better equip you for the future.


London, England with the Shank family in 2006. Stephen getting married to Nicola! Such an exciting time, good travels, good people. Cherish the time with friends and opportunity to travel!

Georgia. 2005. I spent one semester at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va. I met some amazing people there. I know this one doesn't quite fit in the time frame of my stint here in California. But, this image was taken while on spring break with my buddy Chase. He is a huge reason for why I'm here. Going out taking pictures with Chase, him teaching me Photoshop stuff, collaborating and rock climbing. Chase, thanks for the inspiration and encouragement to pursue Brooks and photography!

Last Post for August!!

It has taken a while and now that September is all but over I am finally finished with August! Here are some pics from a trip to Zion National Park in Utah. It is an amazing place to visit, it was pretty hot but thankfully we were near a river. My buddy Josh and I drove through the night and arrived in Zion early to get a early start on the Narrow's Hike. This hike goes up through the North Fork Virgin River through canyons it has spent thousands of years making. It was pretty amazing! Unfortunately, there was a flash flood warning for later in the afternoon so we didn't lollygag in the canyon.

amazing sunset before embarking!
Jessica, Hannah, Josh, and me. Josh and I departed shortly after the sun set.
Sunrise on beautiful sandstone walls!
Into the canyons...

Lake Tahoe, Ca

On August 14-17 I drove my friend Breezy, who has a broken leg, to her hometown of Lake Tahoe so she could shoot a wedding. I have never been there so it was very cool to see some new spots and some amazing light! The mountain air breathes so well compared to this low level stuff. Here are some pics from the adventure...
