Joshua Tree New Year 2017

Below are a few pictures I shot in Joshua Tree National Park during my New Year weekend there. I planned on shooting some quality images in the park, especially some nighttime landscapes, but I wasn’t really feeling up to operating my camera in cold, wet and non-sober conditions.

Summer of 15

Here are a few clips from my summer 2015 road trip. Locations include Zion, Yellowstone, Wisconsin, Niagara Falls, Shenandoah, and Rifle Falls. Time has been flying by.

Traveling Central America

A little over a year ago, I set off on my biggest adventure to date. I boarded a plane to Cancun, Mexico with intentions to visit every country between there and Panama City, Panama.

Visiting Niagara Falls

I had really been looking forward to seeing Niagara Falls this summer. I had dreamt about driving out here when I started my road trip, but I wasn’t sure I would make it happen until I left Chicago.

After stopping for dinner, we headed over to Gros Ventre… Continue reading

Lava Hot Springs in Idaho

I had been longing to soak in a natural hot springs and figured a town with such a name must have some hot… Continue reading

Zion National Park

I had visited Zion National Park once before this trip. I drove our here last year with my older brother and his kids on a “Zion, Grand Canyon, Las Vegas” road trip. We did a few of the shorter trails in the park, but I wasn’t able to do the two hikes that I was really… Continue reading

Cliff Jumping at Sand Hollow

Cliff jumping had been high on my to-do list this summer. When I was planning my summer road trip, I made sure to look for good spots along the way. My first destination was Zion National Park in Utah. I was curious to see if there were any good spots in within the park. I… Continue reading
