When chasing sunrises, it’s often too easy to forget to look around en route to your destination. Take a moment to pause and look, and you may just find the shot you didn’t see coming.

We drove 100+ km to the temperate rainforest, the scenery is amazing, like a magic movie. We passed the town of Fox, but did not encounter the vampire :-D

After two days of hiking, we emerged into an enchanted valley, where the clouds hung so low, you couldn’t see where the earth ended and the sky began. The waterfalls that trickled off both walls of the valley’s tunnel seemed to come from the heavens.

Hurricane Ridge is one of the most popular hikes in Olympic National Park. Even during the heat of the summer, as I trekked up the mountain, the ice stayed put, not melting at all. Laying in the 80 degrees heat with the snow underneath my feet, it’s a great spot. And this photo is a reflection of that.

We spent a weekend on Herron Island in Washington. There are no natural predators on this tiny residential island so the deer have become the primary species. They’ve overrun the place. This one spent most of the weekend laying around the woods outside our Air BnB and his smile was particularly charming.

Who knew that fog could be so beautiful. As it moves slowly across the distant hills and mountains, revealing and hiding the towering pines, it really is a site to behold.

A quick hike through damp, ancient forest led us to this breathtaking view. The roaring water and sweet smell of the damp woods was very refreshing.

My first time in Seattle a few years ago I decided to take it all in by foot. Walking all over the city I found myself heading towards the sound right around sunset. As I came out of the underground tunnel I was greeted with this pier view out towards the mountains and the sunset.

Over two years of memories were written on a large plank of wood used to cover as a table in my friends apartment. We thought it was a good time to burn it as we all have started off on separate paths now that most of us have graduated from our universities.

Near the famed Public Market, otherwise known as Pike Place, is the Seattle eye giving a bird’s eye view of the harbor and surrounding area. Maybe you’ll be lucky and the skies will be blue. Not always a given in Seattle.

What an amazing city. Even though this picture isn’t of the city, it’s always going to remind me of the amazing people and ideas I found there in May 2018. I shot this just before stepping off the Bainbridge ferry at the end of a long day walking around Ballard and Bainbridge Island. Thanks to Dribbble and friends for giving me an excuse to spend a weekend exploring a small piece of the Pacific Northwest. Thanks to Sofia. I want to give a shoutout to my friend Joe (http://www.josephhaubert.com), the stuff he taught me in a class has really upped my photography skills.

Entering Mt. Baker for the first time - it was like entering a theme park with incredibly gorgeous scenery at every turn - starting with arriving at Picutre Lake at the foot of the mountains. Working my way to the top - I was greeted with 20- foot walls of snow still in place during the last week of July! Taking in the huge walls of snow, 70 degree sunny weather and girls in bikinis skiing down the face of the mountain - I realized I’d witnessed one of the most beautiful places in all of Washington State. Only in the Pacific Northwest.

Traveled to Mount Baker to explore and came across Picture Lake - the name being fairly obvious as the setting looks like a postcard in every direction that you look. The shot was taken in mid-afternoon - on possibly the prettiest day of 2018 in the Seattle area. Picture Lake is approximately 25 minutes from the very top of Mount Baker where girls are skiing in bikinis with 20-foot snow banks still accessible in late July summer.

I saw a perfect street on Whidbey Island in north eastern Washington. There was nobody on it and the depth of the street provided an amazing scene. Then, this lone biker, commuting to work as it seemed, popped up on the horizon and provided an interesting subject to my landscape shot!

Issaquah, WA offers many, many miles of trails on Tiger Mountain. I’m lucky enough where these trails are within a quick walk to from my front door. Issaquah, WA
