Last night’s sunset show near Congress, Arizona. #azwx #stormchasing
One of the wildest lightning photos I’ve ever taken, from THE wildest storm I’ve ever experienced. The grand finale of an incredible supercell near Auburn, Kansas back on June 10th. #stormchasing
Not every day you see God Rays illuminating a dust storm. From July 12th in the Hualapai Valley looking toward the Cerbat Mountains near Kingman, Arizona. #azwx #stormchasing
From one of the few storm chasing days I’ve had this monsoon season, a mid-afternoon dry air bolt east of Kingman on July 12th. #azwx #stormchasing
Last night’s electrical storm north of Phoenix. Check the landing point on New River Mountains. I haven’t gotten one of those in a while! #azwx #stormchasing
My first ever rainbow + lightning photo. #stormchasing #stormphotos
The mothership has landed. A tornado-warned supercell over Eastern Colorado on June 8th, 2026. #stormchasing #cowx
Nothing like a calm evening at the lake. #LandscapePhotography #Arizona
From a lake not too many people know about here in AZ. I didn’t know about it until last year either. #Arizona #LandscapePhotography
Thunderstorms rolling across the Coconino Plateau. It’s not often that a Sunday afternoon in May feels like the Monsoon making a cameo appearance. #StormPhotography #azwx
Photographers, don’t sleep on going back through your archives to find forgotten gems. I took this last spring, got busy, and didn’t even finish culling from this day. Re-discovered it last week and I’m pretty stoked. Definitely the best bee photo I’ve ever taken.
The unforgettable August 25th, 2025 haboob as it ripped toward Phoenix.
Nothing’s equivalent to the black & white state of mind.
I’m giving away 3 copies of my co-authored book “Arizona: A Photographic Journey” at the Fangs & Feathers Photomeet tomorrow morning at the Gilbert Riparian Preserve! Deets in the comments for how to attend…
An Egret I met on this morning’s walk around the Gilbert Riparian Preserve. I was scouting for a Photo Meet this Sunday at 6am for any and all nature enthusiasts in the Phoenix area (locals and visitors alike). Hit me up if you want to join!
Anybody in AZ next Sunday, consider coming out for an early morning photomeet at the Gilbert Riparian Preserve! Deets in the comments thread👇
A little break from the atrocities of the world. The other night I went out to the desert on a whim to shoot the full moon rising by my favorite saguaro.
I thought this branch of a Joshua Tree looked like a bird. Or maybe a giraffe. Or a creation from the mind of Dr. Suess. Open to other interpretations as well.
It’s a foggy day here in Northern Arizona. Hope you all are well, my friends!
A photo I’ve never shared before from the Aurora Borealis on October 10th, 2024. This is a two image composite, one exposed for the sky and one for the foreground. I fired the shutter and I drove the car too. Good times during a rare night out in the Arizona desert.
If there’s one thing that photos don’t do justice, it’s meteors. IRL it’s like “Oh! There’s one!” but in the photo it just looks like a little lens scratch 🤷♂️ but anyway, here’s my best effort from the Geminids on Saturday night. #Astrophotography #Geminids
