Black and white abstract photograph showing slices of concentric, annular rings refracting metallic light from a glass and brass First-order Fresnel Lens built in Paris by Barbier, Benard, & Turenne in 1907.

I'm a native coastal Californian transplanted to the foothills of the Cascades. Being near the mountains has afforded me the opportunity to become attuned to seasonal rhythms and infuse that sense of time and place into my nature photography.
