A Few of My Favorite Places features evocative landscapes captured by a photographer deeply rooted in the rugged beauty of Telluride and the San Juan Mountains.

Through intuitive, thoughtful photography often taken during early walks or long hikes, the work reflects moments of solitude, raw natural texture, and seasonal transformation. Each image invites viewers not just to see, but to feel the rhythms of this place—and perhaps recognize the stirrings of their own quiet connection to home.
