I had the honor of being interviewed on @MattPaynePhoto's wonderful podcast! I had a nice time talking about my approach to nature photography including topics like curating my work on my website. You can find it on your favorite podcast app or by going to the link tree in my bio

"Without A Hitch" 2021 The first day of the trip went off without a hitch! The rest of the trip, well... sign up for my newsletter to find out soon!

"Caring for Life" 2021 The title refers to one of my favorite books - "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance". One of the reasons the book is so impactful to me is because the main character cares so much about high-quality craftsmanship for its own sake.

"Beyond the Lines of Reason" 2021 You can hear me describe how I made this photo by listening to my interview with @MattPaynePhoto ! Link in bio.

@RemarkableArt Much better!

"Overlooked" 2021

@RemarkableArt Nice! It has a lot of nice elements. The bright background draws my eye away from the more interesting bottom half of the image. I found myself wanting to crop in a bit and burn a vignette of the brightest parts on the edges of the frame.

@RemarkableArt That looks like a neat comp! I hope it turns out!

Take a moment to breathe.

"The Unexpected" 2021 An abstract-but-not-really image I made in the backcountry in the middle of the day. It's composition and colors are odd to me, but it kept catching my eye every time I came near it in my lightroom library.

"Invasion of Privacy" 2021 My new collection of images is out! If you're on my newsletter mailing list, check your inbox (or spam folder).

but more and more I'm learning to love the imperfections in nature that make it special. Humans can make "perfect" things all they want, but they'll never make it imperfect in just the same way nature can. This is the way!

I think the image is somewhat unique to me because of the conditions that led to the water level and patterns. Lastly, I did very little editing to it. I could do more cloning to make it cleaner, or I could do some minor stretching to make the lines line up better, (continued...)

"This is the Way" 2021 Time to release some new work! The best way to see it all is via my non-sales-y newsletter, so please sign up for that via the link in my bio if you'd like to see all of the images. I also include news and interesting links to other photographers' work

@RemarkableArt @MattPaynePhoto @on_landscape Thanks! Yes it is weird, but still a great feeling!

The first article ever written about me! Big thanks to @MattPaynePhoto and @on_landscape

@MRungPhoto @MattPaynePhoto Great example. I have a tunnel view shot taken the day before I got married in Yosemite!

@MattPaynePhoto I’m inclined to agree with Gary. Personal meaning is wrapped up in the experience, the memories, the reasoning, etc. surrounding the shot. For instance, my Tunnel View shot was taken with at least a dozen others around me… but it has a lot of personal meaning to me.

What makes a nature photograph personally meaningful? What if someone else has the exact same image by chance? Is it still personally meaningful?

@SMarinoPhoto Chronological feed!! Desktop app with large and sharp images!!

I totally rolled my eyes at all the photographers moving over to Vero… and then I logged into my old account. Photos! No ads! No auto-play videos! It is so much better. I’ll give it another try. vero.co/smarino
