FAA Part 107 Certified Drone/UAS Pilot available for hire in the Minneapolis, Minnesota area. During the week, I’m a construction engineer.

On the weekends, I do this cityscape photography thing... taken together, I guess you could say I like buildings!

I’m not entirely sure what the name of this plant is, but they pop up pretty frequently in Crested Butte… similar to corn stalks, just a more unique foreground element and not as edible…

A blue hour blend of Zion Canyon’s overlook point from last fall. This is a five-shot composite - two shots for focus stacking of foreground, two for light trails, and one for the sky. I always underestimate how much windier it is at higher elevations in the mountains, and this was no exception 😅 it made for a surprisingly cold morning. Fortunately, despite the popularity of this spot, we were the only ones there while the stars were out.

The standard 4x5 Instagram crop does an excellent job of cutting off the closest peaks that provide any sort of sense of depth. The full image is shown in the second slide.

Sunrise on O’ahu’s coast ☀️

It’s tough to take a bad picture in Hawaii. The biggest challenge is grappling with the low clouds that come in over the mountains and threaten to take away any direct light. I got lucky this morning back in November of 2022 when sunlight pierced through the clouds for only a couple minutes (during what otherwise was a total dud of a sunrise) to light up the east side of Koko Crater.

From the Narrows in Utah last fall… there are infinite photo possibilities here! A little bit of generative fill on the sides to fit the IG crop. Full shot on second slide

A 2-minute exposure of a sunrise at the Tidal Basin from the fall of 2021. I remember sitting in the cold thinking that some clouds lower on the horizon would block the sun as it came up, but they moved out of the way just as the sun rose to make for a worthwhile outing ☀️

We don’t exactly get fall colors in Phoenix, so went a little north 🍂

Not a bad spot for hopscotch ~ I’ve gotten in the habit of backing up all my photos before each of my moves, and I found this one in a forgotten folder from NYC last May. It’s a skyline shot from the Jersey side, and while by no means is it a clinic on camera technique (no tripod, no focus stacking, etc.), I thought it was an ok-ish result for setting out that morning without a plan or composition in mind.

This is obviously not the greatest composition in the world… the overhead highway signs do a great job of dividing the photo in two 🤣 But I’ve spent some time trying to refine my editing style to achieve the “painterly” look and color separation that artists like .eye do so well, and this is the closest I’ve gotten. Hope everyone is having a relaxing Sunday morning!

Blended sunset/blue hour shot taken from near the falls 💧

Some snow over downtown. I took this shot with full intent to pair it with a song like “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas” (an Instagram algorithm classic), but this edit turned out slightly more… apocalyptic… than I initially intended and doesn’t really fit a cheery vibe anymore 🤷🏼‍♂️

some trees and rocks

One from an Arizona sunrise in August with and in frame. Always loved small person/big landscape shots because of how well they convey sense of scale.
