Award winning landscape photographer 🏆🥳
& Digital Artist inspired by music 🎶, wine 🍷, & books 📚 Thank you for your interest in my photography work.

I live in SW Washington state, near the Columbia River which gives me access to the beautiful landscapes of the Pacific Northwest. I also venture out to other areas around the U.S. and around the world as well. With my photography, I try to bring a moment of "Wow!" in an otherwise stressful world by posting to this page. My Digital Art brings another level of imagination into the artwork

I create. You can follow me on Instagram if you wish (.J.McCarthy1). I have a full portfolio of my work on https://www.solstice-photography.com. Seeing an epic landscape photo or digital image on your wall that speaks to you can be very therapeutic in a busy world. I'm happy to share the location where any photo was taken or the techniques and planning aspects that were involved in getting any image.

We talk a lot about love in February, but it’s just as important to turn a little of that inward.

Take a moment today to show yourself some appreciation — whether that’s a walk, a quiet pause, or simply enjoying “Chinatown Boy.”

A little self-kindness goes a long way.

Kiona 2022 Sauvignon Blanc

In the warm glow of an elegant bar, where the clink of glasses mingles with laughter, the pleasure of sharing a glass of white wine with friends is a feast for the senses. The wine shimmers in each glass, its golden hue a promise of the flavors to come. The snacks are a work of art, a canvas of cured meats, cheeses, and accompaniments. As friends gather around, reaching for their favorite delicacies, the conversation flows freely. The wine's aroma fills the air, and the room is abuzz with laughter and stories. As the evening progresses, the wine bottle empties and the charcuterie board is enjoyed. Friends raise their glasses in a toast to good company and a good live lived.

There’s a lot of weight tied to the word art collector, but truthfully, most of us already are one.

Our homes hold years — sometimes decades — of things we’ve chosen and cherished. In a way, each of us has our own personal gallery.

Would you consider adding “Jazz #2” to yours?
