A look back at some of my top photographs of 2019!

After five years I finally had the opportunity to visit the legendary Havasupai Falls. I went in wanting to come back with more than just the iconic photos we have all seen. I found this waterfall on the way to Beaver Falls. @nikonusa #d750 @benrousa Circular polarizing filter @tamronusa lens #havasupaifalls #beaverfalls #havasupai #havasu #havasufalls #landscape #agameoftones #igtones #visualgrams #instantclassics #fatalframes #electric_shotz #artofvisuals #naturephotography #waterfalls #natgeoyourshot @natgeoyourshot

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to get behind the lens. 12 hour work days and 5+ hours of commuting everyday has not afforded me the time to pick up the camera. The little time off I do get, I use to reset my mind before starting all over again. Half a lifetime ago I competed horses in a sport called Three Day Eventing, Galway Downs and has always been a great event, glad to see Kim Goto and my sister’s horse out there.

My community held a candlelight vigil last night in the wake of recent events. It was beautiful seeing people from all walks of life, and religions from across the world come together in unity. . . #candle #lowlightphotography #momsdemandaction #anytownusa #neveragain #temecula #everytown #everytownforgunsafety #tvyd #peace #gotv #ca50

One of the troubles with photographing the sunset is you never know what you’re going to get. This was a relatively boring sunset, but you have to make due with what you get, and I’m pretty happy with it.

Looking back at my timeline I have been incredibly inactive on Instagram for more than 2 months. During that time I traveled to Africa, bought a house, and started a new job. @desidrewphotography and I drove out to Lake Cuyamaca in May where we photographed the Milky Way Galaxy for at least 3.5 hours. I had the hardest time editing these photos and picking a style this is where you decide which edit you like better, 1 or 2? . Thanks to @desidrewphotography @surfnsnowboard ...@ivan_farca and @surfmeetsturf for the inspiration and advice. . . #milkyway #milkywaychasers #milkywayphotography #astrophotography #nightscapes #weownthenight #night_shooterz #nightphotography #nightviewplanet #earth_shotz #earthfocus #photopills #earthscope #photopilleroftheday #mysdphoto #caliinviteyou #sandiegolife #artofvisuals #shotzdelight #california_hi #explorers_hub #raw_skies @ Lake Cuyamaca Campground See more

Playing around with some new lights at sunset. In order to capture photos like this, make sure you properly expose your camera to the background, and adjust your light to properly expose your model. Model: Janelle : Temecula, Ca

Today is in remembrance of those who did not come home. I want to thank these two heroes whom I had the absolute pleasure and privilege of serving with. If you come across a veteran today, don’t thank them for their service, ask them to tell you a story of one of their friends who is not here. . . #memorialday #usmc #arlington #arlingtonnationalcemetery #marines #gonebutneverforgotten #spartan #strengthandhonor #veterans #veteran #memorial #semperfi #semperfidelis

Photography is a never ending journey of learning and exploring. Although this picture is far from perfect, I tried something new and learned new things along the way. Thanks to @ivan_farca for the inspiration for this picture, and how fortuitous to have run into him as well. . . .... #moodygrams #earth_shotz #artofvisuals #sandiego_ca #creativetones #caliinviteyou #sunrise_and_sunset #shotzdelight #lajolla #lajollatidepools #sunset_vision #sandiego #sunsets #cloudzdelight #longexposure #sky_marvels . . @sdsunsetchasers @explorers_hub See more
