Thoughts and images on my recent trip to Olympic National Park

A photo field note from Olympic National Park, where rainforest renewal, rugged coastline, wildfire smoke, and unexpected mountain layers became a reminder to slow down, look closer, and find beauty beyond the epic view.

Check out my field notes and my first set of images from my trip to Seattle:

Seattle felt layered in a way I wasn’t expecting. Between street art, a worn-down piano, Pike Place, old brick, glass towers, and the view from Kerry Park, the city never fully resolved into one thing. It did not need to.

Smoke from the fires in the Spokane area made for a very colorful sunset at Realto Beach in the Olympic National Park area.

I know I haven't been around here for awhile, and there is reason for that, but that is another post for another time. Going forward I will post only occasionally here. If you want to see my work, it lives on my website.

A closer look at Genoa.

After sunset I stayed close to town and looked for smaller scenes in Genoa, Colorado.

An old storefront, a dusty car through a garage window, and a half‑finished A‑frame all within a few blocks.

A few views from Genoa, Colorado.
The “World’s Wonder View” tower, the grain silos, the strip of roadside buildings, and the wind farm at sunset all sit in the same landscape.

I shot these over one evening, moving between the tower, main road, and fields as the light changed.
