Hey buddy, just wanted you to know that your photography inspired me to see reflections in swimming pools all last week.

Death Valley :)

Thanks Mike!

Heading back here this week. <3 Desert time is always a good time!

Eh this was captured in 2022. =)

Good morning from Colorado! =)

Thanks, I love finding stuff that has no sense of scale =)

Freaky Badlands

Yeah thanks, I love ambiguous scale!

Thanks!!

Thanks man, no I haven’t done that but it could be fun :)

One of my favorite finds from 2024 - recent snow transformed this desert landscape - when the snow melted, it made the soil wet, completely bringing out all the awesome textures.

I need to make one!

Aspen Leaf on bog oil, which is created by iron-oxidizing bacteria in swampy water with organic materials. One of my favorite finds from this year's fall color adventure.

Yeah makes sense for sure. Lots of people are new and don't necessarily know about comp etc.

Harris looks amazing.

What would you define as banal?

Love the waning stuff! Just did a ton of it in Scotland!

Still a fav for me :)

Thanks buddy! Get some nice stuff?

You done well sir! :)

Oh man that’s just blasphemy 😂

I’m coming to learn that autumn is cool everywhere! 😂

Awesome aspen trees from near my home in Colorado last month.

Haha yes sir

Thanks buddy hope you've been doing well.

Yeah it has been quite nice to see! The colors are quite a bit more muted than in Colorado, but I like them a lot!

Just wrapped up an 11-day workshop here in Scotland, photographing some awesome foliage, woodland, and castles. Here's a small collection of images I managed to edit from my 14-day adventure photographing fall color in Colorado a couple of weeks ago.

I’m back after a summer holiday and in this episode of Biblioscapes in Discussion, I am joined by Matt Payne (@mattpaynephoto.bsky.social) to talk about his work and his book The Colorado Way.

Haha that's a great reason to pay close attention!
