I am based in Seattle, where I split my time between a career in technology and a deep, ongoing obsession with the natural world.

I spend a lot of time exploring the Pacific Northwest with binoculars on a harness and a camera in hand. I often have a loose plan that revolves around birds and light from forests and the sage steppe to alpine ridge lines and coastal beaches.

Birding is at the center of it all. It is how I move through a landscape. Slower, more attentive, always listening. Over time, that has grown into something deeper - a naturalist curiosity about habitat, behavior, seasonality, and the quiet patterns that connect it all.

Photography has been part of my life for a long time, going back to the film days. And, it has evolved over the years. What started as a way to capture moments has become something more intentional. Not just a rare bird or a dramatic scene, but the smaller things too. The way light filters through trees, the texture of moss and lichen, the feeling of being somewhere wild and paying attention.

Beyond the Pacific Northwest, I have been fortunate to travel widely, and more and more those trips are shaped around birding and exploring new ecosystems. Different places, different species, but the same pull to be outside, observing, learning, and documenting what I find.

This site is a collection of those experiences.

The birds, the places, and the quiet moments in between.
