Santa Cruz, California just before Thanksgiving 2017. I miss the ocean. Before leaving CA it was literally a part of my daily life. Still, new adventures and the mountains call me.... . . . #santacruz #california #coastlife #surf #surfing #goldenhour #roadtrippin #norcal @unumdesign #unumfam (at Santa Cruz, California)

North tip of Point Reyes from the lighthouse. . . . Insomnia strikes again. At least I can edit photos while the world sleeps peacefully. . . . #pointreyesnationalseashore #pointreyes #westcoast #nature #beach #norcal #california #outdoorphoto #home #proximitytowater (at Point Reyes National Seashore)

The last of the sunset over the Grand Canyon. You could just barely enjoy the layers of canyon in the distance. Taken on my #CAtoCO road trip in April.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #nature #grandcanyon #sunset #desertviewwatchtower #outdooradventurephotos #roadtrip #coloradoriver (at Watchtower-Grand Canyon)

The first week of April in Telluride, CO also known as the beginning of "mud season". After I was unable to find lodging near Moab and regretting not bringing my tent along the road trip I chose to turn East to Telluride. Can't explore canyons? Well let's check out a ski town! Little did I know that the ski resort shuts down April 1st and the town basically goes on vacation for a month. Mud season. Sigh. At least the place was still had a lot of beauty to explore despite being nearly empty. Only edit is the @petermckinnon "Dolomite" Lightroom preset. I'm just trying to learn these presets so I added no other edits to this series. . . . #colorado #roadtrip #telluride #CAtoCO #landscapephotography #mountains #stream #nature #naturephotography #lightroom (at Telluride, Colorado)

Another shot from the RiNo arts district on Memorial weekend. This one showing a before (2nd pic) and after with the "Frontier" preset from @petermckinnon . I think I'm in love with this and "Maritimer" for all of these overly bright, midday shots that I thought were almost throw-aways. . . . #photography #colorado #denver #memorialweekend2017 #rivernorthartdistrict #rino #art #frontier #preset #pubcrawl #publicart (at RiNo, River North Art District)

I've neglected my photography hobby the past few weeks because life has been way crazy. In order to alleviate some of the crushing anxiety, today I have been focused on editing the ginormous backlog of shots that I have accumulated since moving to Denver. The other day @petermckinnon released a gorgeous set of Lightroom presets and I was inspired to dive in! This is a before and after of the RiNo art district sign here in the River North hood of Denver from a pub crawl we did on Memorial weekend. This is a post of the raw image and the gorgeous "Maritimer" preset from @petermckinnon . Tomorrow I start back at school for the first time in many years in order to get that Bach degree that has been so elusive to me. It's been a whirlwind month in preparation and anxious scramble to complete so many last second details. I've tried to complete this task so many times in life and failed at every turn. This time it sticks! No more distractions and no more delays. I'm terribly excited and so nervous and very ready for this new beginning. . . . #photography #hobby #anxiety #backtoschool #colorado #denver #universityofcolorado #cudenver #rivernorthartdistrict #rino #art #maritimer #pubcrawl #publicart (at Denver, Colorado)
