The 'Nightwalks' work was recognized by PDN (Photo District News) in their 2008 Photo Annual.

The Nightwalks project developed through an exploration of Austin between 2am and 5am. The sense of the city was so different from what is commonly observe that it renders a different place entirely. Instead of traveling to visit somewhere by plane or car, why not go by time?

It is work I'm continuing to develop and use an investigative tool of place.

PDN (Photo District News, in conjunction with National Geographic Traveler) selected two images for the World of Focus contest. One in the 'Wilderness Photography' category and the other in 'Extreme Exploration'.

They are both from Canyonlands National Park during a summer storm I encountered while testing methods for my nightscape work.
