A very rare moment where the scene was empty. This doesn’t happen often at this place. The turbulent sky lent itself to the artful side of what one can do with a GoPro Hero8. This camera constantly surprises me. The images have so much life to them and they respond like none of my other cameras do in post.
Some Soul Cleansing Beach Time Was Much Needed.
An image from the session in my live Instagram story from the other night. With everything going on lately, it’s been tough to get out and shoot, but things are starting to swing back into place creatively. The world sure is making it difficult, though. I’m thankful for a little ocean therapy with a good friend at one of my favorite places. Shot with a GoPro Hero8 and Polar Pro ND32.
Yosemite National Park
Valley View, which has been shot so many times in so many ways, I’m thankful to have a GoPro Hero8 with me on the end of a 270Pro Backpack pole to get perspectives from those hard-to-reach areas.
Vernal Fall shot with a GoPro Hero8 using the GoPro app. Thankful this isn’t spring water flow!
Finally made it to Yosemite Nation Park with some friends and glad I went when I did, since now that the Corona Virus is apron us (COVID-19) all National Parks are closed. Our intentions were to photograph the firefall phenomenon, but there wasn't enough snow on El Capitan to provide water for Horsetail Fall so we spent the week exploring the park’s other treasures.
What an amazing sight this valley is! I cannot wait to go back with my family so my son can see this park and take in the massive rock walls that surround you from every side.
Taiwan - Traveled By Bicycle
In this vlog, I travel to Taiwan as a guest of the Taiwan Tourism Bureau on behalf of GoPro to see what it's like to get out and explore the sights, sounds and smells of this beautiful island in Asia.
One world meets new in Shiding District
In this vlog, I travel to Taiwan as a guest of the Taiwan Tourism Bureau on behalf of GoPro to see what it's like to get out and explore the sights, sounds and smells of this beautiful island in Asia. Having not ridden a bicycle in years, it isn't without its challenges, but being a rookie I prove that even the 4th highest island in the world can be conquered if you get out and give it a shot. This is the Formosa 900 media tour in 2019. We travel from Yuanlin City to Sun Moon Lake, then the Chingjing Farm and summit at Wuling, at almost 11,000 feet in elevation. Giant Adventure guided us and kept us safe as we were able to experience Taiwan from the western cities to the highest peaks.
My new friend Cat and I captured the adventure on our GoPro cameras. These kept our packs light so we could concentrate on the road and get some unique perspectives. Especially with GoPro Max, the newest 360 camera. A trip like this is rich in culture and I'm so thankful for the people I met and for the food we ate! Traveling across the world to see Asia, we learn that even though the landscape is different, we share so many similarities with the friendly people of Taiwan.
Thanks to the Taiwan Tourism Bureau, GoPro, Giant Adventure, GoPro Ammo and GoPro Taiwan, as well as those friendly folks who helped us along the way, fed us, and taught us about Taiwan and it’s rich history.

Imagination Can Become Reality!
Let’s pretend for a second you are a pilot and can fly anywhere you want. Where would you fly, and why?
This is my son under the flight path at San Diego International Airport pretending he’s flying his World War II era P-38 Lightning over snow covered mountains we can just about see and feel through the lens of my GoPro! This shot was featured by GoPro as their photo of the day on September 2nd, 2019.
We attempted this shot a few times. At first, we went with clothing we thought could work from his closet, but I wasn’t feeling his jacket. Since he is really into old planes and wants to be a pilot when he grown up, my wife bought his this aviator jacket from Up and Away Jackets.
Practicing our moves and getting into position! I can see the clouds lining up to be spectacular!
We waited for it to arrive before going out a second time, and I’m so glad this delay happened the way it did. Every once in a while when shooting sunsets I’ll have my camera set up, pointing out to sea, toward the sunset. Then I’ll scramble to try and find a new composition when nature plays a trick on us and all the beautiful color is in the opposite direction in the sky. I rarely end up with anything in this case because I spent all my efforts focusing the other direction. This time was different. I wanted the setting sun to be the fill light on my son so my camera was pointed away from the sunset. When Mother Nature attempted one of her fake-outs we were ready!
