Backpacking for the best view in Oregon
High in Oregon’s Central Cascades, I hike to Broken Top nine years after my first visit to this stunning spot. The view from the summit never fails to take my breath away. It’s a familiar place, yet every step reminds me how much has changed, both in the landscape and in myself.

Mt Hood has played an important role in my photography career. Exploring these landscapes is what made me fall in love with the art, and they continue to fascinate me after all these years. Something compels me to keep coming back, to keep photographing this beautiful mountain and the stunning forests and lakes around it.

The tool I use all the time but rarely show you
I almost always carry a tripod with me, even if you don't see it in my videos. That's because it's holding my video camera!
