Little place called Midnight Hole in a less visited part of the Great Smoky Mountains. I was fortunate to have it all to myself to take my time getting some longer exposure shots. #photography #waterfall #longexposure #travel #hiking

First time picking up a sketch book in literal years. Like at least 5. Image 1 is current (like 10% done hatch marks) vs image 2, the past (charcoal). Kinda cool to aspire to be myself again 😅 #artist #charcoal #fineart #sketch #startingover

I've spent years capturing the natural world, but there's a story waiting to be told Trail Keepers is a new project focusing on the storys of folks who show up with shovels and saws so the rest of us can show up with wonder. Follow trailkeeperproject on bluesky & instagram #trailkeepersproject

Has the privilege of documenting the crowd at the SC state house as they protested and marched against the violence in America right now. Peaceful and meaningful, they set the tone for a new year of action. Here are a few images of the night from my new #lensbaby lens. @50501-sc.bsky.social

Throwback to this past winter just outside of Reno. The Sierra Nevada Mountains loom over a valley of short grasses, farm homes and cattle. I shot this hanging out the window of a moving vehicle, probably a fav shot for life. #landscapes #photography #mountains #travel #adventure #winter

Whales in California. We got “mugged” by a friendly humpback while on a tour off of Long Beach and it was one of the most incredible wildlife experiences of my life. #whales #humpback #wildlife #photography

Spent the day exploring meadows in western north carolina. The long term parkway closure means uninterrupted recovery for wildlife, and an influx in monarch populations. Shot from the parking area, with a 600mm zoom lens. Small perfection #photography #nature #butterfly #macro #composition #nikon

From my in progress series Trail-Keepers. A study of quiet labor in the wild. Flattened colors mix with monochromatic hues and motion blur reflect memory, presence, and the human hands that shape the land #conservation #photography #hiking #nature #photojournalism #trail-keepers

Testing out a new telephoto lens at sunset. I loved capturing this muskrat from across the river and watching him surface every few moments with fresh clams. #WildlifePhotography #river #WetlandsWildlife #photography #EditorialWildlife #WildlifeBehavior #nature

Some flowers from a summer hike in Pisgah. Rhododendron with a resting bee, and mountain laurel in detail. Shot with my #nikon Z5 #flowers #nature #landscape #photography #macrophotography #plants #summerdaze #blueskyartshow

The mix of gold and blue light spilling over the mist and ridgelines offered the perfect opportunity to pause and really focus on composition and light balance—something I’ve been working to recenter in my process. #landscape #photography #mountains #nature #foto #art #fineart #hiking #wilderness

Alligator Alcatraz or Alligator Auschwitz? Trump is acting as if he’s doing this nation a favor. By dehumanizing immigrants he’s creating a situation where violence is state-sanctioned. And people are cheering him on. This will lead to another place we’ve been before in history. #alligatorauschwitz

I visit this overlook every year. The view of the valley below, framed by dramatic ridgelines makes it my go-to location to practice working with different kinds of light and stitched panorama - pictures as wide as the views. #landscape #mountains #photography #art #panorama #goldenhour #sunrise

The dissapearing mountain tops and mist filled valleys always make me feel at peace. They lend themselves to contemplation both in the moment and in the images captured. #blackandwhite #photography #landscape #fineart #mountains #contemporaryart #art

A stroll through the high peaks in Pisgah National Forest. Nothing quite beats the views and the familiar feeling of the trail beneath my feet in this place - my favorite place in the world. #photography #wilderness #hiking #mountains #landscape #protectourparks #adventure

Climbing into the cold water in front of Catawba Falls to take this picture was just what I needed after the hot hike up to its base. New CPL filter pops so hard the final was untouched. #landscape #waterfall #photography #foto #wilderness #mountain #photographers #nikon #longexposure

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

They plan to illegally stop and detain the freedom flotilla, a humanitarian effort entering Gaza. The government detaining them IS NOT the Palestinian government. This is a war crime. #freedomflotilla #freemadaleen #alleyesondeck #alleyeyesongaza #lovefirst www.instagram.com/reel/DKpBqd1...

Good morning bluesky! Heres something peaceful for you. Stumbled onto this scene on a quiet morning walk by the river a few days ago—a tree reflecting over the water, perfectly still, like it had been waiting for someone to notice. #nature #photography #reflection #river #trees #forest #hollerland

I have been messing around with various camera techniques and this is my favorite extreme underexposure so far! This #blueheron stayed still so long its like he knew I was practicing Shot with #NikonZ5 F6.3, ISO400, 1/2500 #bnw #photography #wildlife #birds #nature #river #Chiaroscuro #art

Out on the trail chasing light and detail—these blooms were too perfect to ignore. It’s amazing how nature paints with color and texture, I had to capture it Look for hidden passengers in both images! #MacroPhotography #FineArtPhoto #bokeh #hiking #BotanicalBeauty #photography #flower

Went out wandering the local river walk yesterday and decided to mess around with lens blur techniques. Love the results! River grass, shot by dragging my lens downward while releasing the shutter #nikonz5 #photography #landscape #abstract #art #blur #spring #green #plants #nature

Log Hollow Falls. The sunlight cutting through the dense foliage to illuminate the rushing waters made for a truly otherworldly, fairytale-like adventure. #nikonz5 #photography #waterfall #mountains #wilderness #hiking #landscape #pisgah @pisgahnatnlforest.bsky.social #light #spring

Great Smoky Mountains, Ntnl Park. The steep ridge-lines of the smokies are unique and powerful in the region and hikes can be equally challenging. This is a set of ridges off the famous chimney tops peak. #mountains #photography #landscapes #landscapephotography #smokymountains #spring #hiking

Second falls in Graveyard Fields, Pisgah National Forest. Really lucky to have this one all to ourselves in a break from the stormy weather. #waterfall #photography #hike #thehikingingphotographer #northcarolina #pisgah #adventure

Daisies, plump and bright after a heavy rain. #daisy #flowers #summershower #rain #iphonephotography #spring #bloom #landscape

A blue heron shakes the rain from his wings on the banks of the river. Shot at a slow shutter speed to catch the motion as he unfurled his feathers. #nikonZ5 ISO400 f7.1 1/5 #birds #wildlife #photography #rain #blackandwhite #blur #wildlifephotography #river

Spring Flowers of the #appalachianmountains on display last weekend. Spicebush, foamflower, mayapple and trilliums all fresh and vibrant as we edge into summer. #flowers #macrophotography #flora #fauna #photography #spring #bloom #foto #hike #fotographia #mountains #photographer #landscape

On #April5 5.2 million people across the U.S. took to the streets. It was historic. But it can’t stop there. On #April19 take the next step. Stand up, speak out, & fight...WITH us, FOR us, & for the America we know we can be. Photos: @foxenhowl.bsky.social #scpol #HandsOff #ResistSC #USProtest #3E

#rattlesnakebrancefire from the #fryingpanfiretower within an hour of its ignition. Another man made disaster in one of my favorite spaces, a hiking trip with a broken heart. Only we, can prevent forest fires. #nikonz5 #landscapes #mountains #photographer #foto #wildfire #photojournalism

URGENT: The House is set to vote tomorrow on whether to advance $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid — eviscerating essential programs that provide lifesaving services for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more. Tell your representative now: Don't cut Medicaid.

Peaceful protest #columbiasc 2-17-2025. Thousands showed up to the state house grounds in SC and in all 50 states for a national day of protest against the violations of our rights being perpetuated in our nation. #resist #activism #neveragain #photojournalism #photography #endfascism #spreadlove

The Trump administration cannot be allowed to build on Guantánamo’s infamous past with their latest cruel and illegal tactics. We're suing to hold the administration accountable.

More of the Sierra’s The heavenly ski lift cuts a path to a false summit, illuminated by the setting sun. Such a magical place to stand still. #nikonz5 #fox&owlfineart #mountains #fotographia #foto #photography #landscapes #landscapephotography #sunset #travel #adventure #dramatic

Sierra Nevada Mountains I could return here again and again. Next time to stand on top of one of these summits, not just photograph them. #nikonz5 #fox&owlfineart #california #mountains #photography #landscapephotography #landscapes #adventure #bnwphotography #foto #fotographia

Something new from my trip around Lake Tahoe, CA. #travel #explore #photography #mountains #adventure #insta360 #laketahoe #sierranevada

Some early favorites from my Southern winter. It’s normally 50 and sunny so needing my micro-spikes somewhere beside the mountains was a treat! It’s not often you get to see a swamp frozen solid, covered in snow. #congareenps #wilderness #photography #landscapephotography #winter #foto #art #hike

A government rooted in good can never be completely without evil. That is the sad nature of rulers and of people. However, a government rooted in evil can, by its nature, possess no good. #dystopia #standstrong #standtogether

Finally back in the mountains. A study in blue from the #roanhighlands Shot with #nikonz5 f/7.1 1/800 #photography #landscapephotography #wilderness #mountains #winter #fineart #blue #snow

Nice day in the snow on the #appalachiantrail heading back through the holes I made on my way down. Snow was about hip deep at points and so much fun to push through! I need better snow boots. #snow #hiking #winterhiking #wilderness #mountains #nature #adventure

Heres something unique for the bluesky crew. A red cardinal who has lost his head feathers.This photograph was taken in late summer which leads me to believe this is an atypical seasonal molt, not an ailment #natureismetal #birds #wildlife #photography #fealthers #weirdfacts #nature #art #feather

I just got an email that I was accepted as an art vendor for a local #artcrawl this coming march! I have never been confident enough in my art until recently and I am so proud of myself for facing those fears and getting my name out there in my community! #painting #artist #photography #charcoal
