Stones of Choshi & Color Range Selection Tutorial
Feels like a long time since I last posted! And really I guess it has been, but for good reason – my third child and first son was born this past week.

This year, I’ve photographed everything from macros to scenes from airplanes, quiet waterfalls to crowded festivals. But only 10 photos can make it into my top 10, and so here they are, in descending order. Also, I have a special treat for everyone – for a limited time you can buy...
