When was the last time you told your story?

Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I'm happy to have you here.

In the After Dark Photography podcast I’m pulling back the curtain on what it takes to live a life creatively fulfilled as a nightscape photographer. We will talk about art and inspiration, as well as technique and gear, and even the business of photography and art. My goal is to inspire you to pick up your camera more often than not and explore what creativity means to you. Getting amazing images, well that’s just a nice by-product of the journey.

As this is the “After Dark” photography podcast it is geared towards night photographers specifically, but all are welcome here. The podcast releases weekly with a mixture of inspiration, tactile technique, and even some story and guest appearances sprinkled in.
