Home, Home in the Mountains
On our two-day excursion down to the Kenai Peninsula this weekend, I would have to say this was one of my favorite places we stopped to take pictures. If you are ever driving the scenic Seward Highway between Anchorage and Seward, make sure to stop and enjoy this cozy overlook on the banks of Lower Summit... Read More »

Alaskan Culture
This is really odd. It’s practically 10:00pm and it’s still pretty light outside as I get ready for bed. It’s even more strange to think that at 12:00 midnight tonight there will still be vestiges of light on the horizon, as I noted was the case on the drive back from Denali National Park the other day. Yeah, the 5... Read More »

Why I Use a Polarizer
We hiked along the banks of the beautiful and secluded Eklutna Lake, Alaska, today. From what I heard, the water level was very high and over it’s normal banks making it difficult to find an open area to shoot with anchor objects in the foreground. But after hiking around a little bit, we found this beautiful spot... Read More »

Experiencing Hatcher Pass
Last night and this afternoon we explored the area around Hatcher Pass, a 45 minute uphill drive from Wasilla. What I loved about this place was the fact that we were close to the mountains, traversing the subalpine and alpine zones. I didn’t know exactly what that meant until I saw this sign. (I hope it’s not... Read More »

Words can not describe how incredible the landscape is up here in Alaska! I’ve never seen such vastness and variety.

No Need to Edit . . . Sometimes
After returning from CAPTURE North Carolina, I headed out with my family to attend the Virginia FEW Conference in Brandy Station, Virginia. There’s a ton I could say about our stay, but in summary I must say that it certainly was an encouraging weekend because the name of Christ was uplifted and glorified. On Sunday,... Read More »

Glade Creek Grist Mill, West Virginia My brother Jonathan and I stopped in at Babcock State Park, West Virgnia on our way back from the CAPTURE North Carolina workshop.

A Few Days of Scouting
My  brother Jonathan and I have spent the last few days hiking and scouting out the Linville area in final preparation for the CAPTURE North Carolina workshop! Even in as naturally beautiful a location as this section of the Blue Ridge Parkway, “wow” pictures do not happen by themselves. It takes a lot of work... Read More »

First Booth Ever!
Lenspiration had it’s first display booth ever this week at the Indianapolis ATI Homeschool Conference! As of a few weeks ago, I don’t think the thought had ever crossed my mind to have a booth for Lenspiration and the CAPTURE photography workshops. But when God plants a vision in one’s heart, develops it... Read More »
