Hi. I’m Collin, and I’m endlessly fascinated by the natural world.
When I’m not out taking pictures, there’s a really good chance I’m thinking about where I want to go next. Half the fun is just learning about all the remarkable places that are out there.
For my day job, I’m a GIS specialist (basically, I make maps). Between mapping some places and researching/photographing others, I guess you could say place is a central aspect of my life – both personally and professionally! I like it that way.
I hope you enjoy my site and the places I share. Please feel free to use the contact page if you have any questions about locations, prints, or equipment!

“Our ability to perceive quality in nature begins, as in art, with the pretty. It expands through successive stages of the beautiful to values as yet uncaptured by language.“

Printers – temperamental as they may be – are amazing machines. Think about it: they take images that exist as data cooped up on a hard drive, and they transform that data into physical objects. You’ll have to trust me on this, but there is something indescribably satisfying about looking at a good printed image. An image displayed on a screen – even a top-quality 4k display – just can’t match the detail and subtlety of a quality photo inkjet print.
A huge part of what makes printing fun for me is doing things right. Accordingly, I have put a ton of time into researching the materials and equipment I use, and I have spent considerable time evaluating and optimizing my workflow to achieve results that I truly do believe speak for themselves.
I do sell my prints! If you are interested in purchasing one, please reach me via the contact page and let me know what you’re interested in. As far as pricing, a rough formula is as follows: calculate the area in square inches of the print size you want, and divide that number by four. So, as an example, an 8×10 print measures 80 inches square, so it will cost $20.
