ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Captured on New Year's day at sunrise. The light on the top of the monolith or seastack is the first rays of dawn to crest the headlands behind me (you're facing west). I have more photos to prove this. This monolith used to stand at Rialto Beach but fell in the heavy storms of winter 2016.

AUTHOR
Photography began as a means of solving the “no picture, no proof” argument when I used to do solo backcountry hiking in Alaska. I was stationed at Eielson AFB at the time. Since then it’s bloomed, wintered, and bloomed again. I now define my photography within two distinct veins: Comfortable Isolation and the Personification of Nature. In short, I search for scenes of quiet isolation where we can re-engage our ego and, in that discussion, enable personal growth. I am also in search of hints of Nature in her ethereal form. Whether it be the shape of a woman in a wave as in the piece “Her;” trees that look alive as in the piece, “Dance;” or a great bird riding the waves as in the piece, “Pacing the Sun.” Feel free to ask me to define either of these at length.
