Kissed by the sun

Rise and shine, today is the best day ever!!! I woke up at 4am to track Mathews but it is still very peaceful here in Miami. I went to the beach and it was completely empty (even after the sun came up), there is a mild wind carrying an eerie energy with it. There are city workers cleaning up the beach preparing for Mathews, who knows what is going to happen. Here is what I saw, I felt I was being kissed by the sun. This was shot on Oct 5th before hurricane Mathew…

Epic sunrise by the rocks

This one is from Saturday morning from one of my Sunrise Workshops. The sunrise was epic, and the sky was on fire. The rocks were starting to get covered with water as the tide was rising quickly. I managed to get my camera completely drenched, and then tipped it over after to finish off the morning. Luckily nothing happened to it. I brought it home, cleaned it up and it is good to go.

Miami Beach on a dark rainy day

I shot this pictures on a crazy weird but beautiful morning in Miami Beach. It was dark and gloomy out but yet beautiful. The sunrise it self was incredible and everything came together just right. I kept seeing great compositions as I kept walking, I was trigger happy to say the least. You know when you are having such a good shoot that you just can’t stop? That was me on this glorious morning.

Sunrise Equinox Deering Estate

Here is the Equinox at Deering Estate here in Miami. This place is cool to shoot, the have this palm tree formation around the place that makes for great photos. I have been here twice now and am I’m still to see any clouds. I do like this shot, with or without clouds the blues pop really good.

I’m not sure when I will be coming back to this place, but I am determined to getting a shot of it with some insane clouds…

Horse Shoe Bend Arizona

Horshoe Bend in Arizona is one of the most incredible places I have ever been to. When I saw for the first time I was completely blown away. Before I pulled up my camera to take any kind of photos, I sat down at the edge of the rock and look down at the Colorado River. The place is so incredibly massive that you feel extremely small.

I have always wanted to visit this place. We had an RV and we camped out there until sunrise. We spend a couple hours there before we headed out. I must say this was one of the most epic road trips of my life. I am very happy to be able to share it with all you guys and to share this incredible photo that is a reminder of this incredible journey.
