The nicest homes I photograph in Tahoe aren't hanging traditional landscapes anymore. They're hanging abstract. Painterly. Large scale.

I wrote about why — and expanded my gallery to match.

Today is the last day do vote. If you think I deserve it... You don't have to be a Tahoe resident to vote. Thank you! https://t.co/BfB50nsH9S

"Where is #SagehenMeadows?" I spill the beans in my latest blog post. Photos, directions, tips on enjoying the experience, and of course, photography tips. The camas bloom is pretty much peaking right now. Go check it out!

Shot last night at Sagehen Meadows near Truckee — huge camas bloom this year! Found this rare white camas among thousands of purple ones beneath an incredible pink sunset. Get out there! 🌸 Have you ever seen a white camas? #Truckee #wildflowers

Also... The Sierra Sun is having their Best Of survey, voting starts today. I would love it if you gave me a vote. I won "Best Local Artist" in 2020, and it would be incredible to win again. Thank you! Vote here: https://t.co/BfB50nsH9S

Tons of fun last night at the Tahoe Quarterly magazine release party! Super happy to have one of my lupine shots on the cover.

[Scott Thompson @ScottShot]

WooHoo! 🎉 My photo is on the cover of @TahoeQuarterly's Best of Tahoe 2026 — on newsstands May 1st! Cold water, pre-dawn light, flooded lupines. One of those mornings you never forget. 📸 #LakeTahoe #CoverShot info - https://t.co/cpHcCNE0k6

Looked out the window this evening. Saw these clouds setting up for a nice #sunset. Grabbed the camera. And ran!!!! I'm so lucky to live across the street from #DonnerLake in #Truckee, #California. If I was 5 minutes later to the scene, I would have missed it.

Happy Easter! Shot this morning at Donner Lake in Truckee, California. The moon was my little Easter egg in this scene. Do you see any other Easter eggs??? I was pretty lucky to get to enjoy this moment. I hope you all enjoy your day too!

Meet "Tahoe Moon" — a spankin’ new photo I captured a couple days ago near Whale Beach at #LakeTahoe.
I usually steer clear of all the booties at the local nude beaches… but when Mother Nature shows off her own granite assets, I kind of have to hit the shutter.

Had a very enjoyable afternoon/evening looking for new compositions along the east shore of Lake Tahoe today. I ended up at a favorite spot instead of somewhere new. It's hard to go wrong here. And what an intense sunset! Do you know the name of this rock???

The Bradford Pear trees are blooming all over Reno, Nevada right now. I hadn't photographed them at night before, now I have! Shot a couple nights ago. I know they aren't the best smelling flower... but they sure do look nice.

I was lucky to see and shoot an incredible sunrise this morning! Truckee River in Downtown Truckee, California.

Some aerial "abstracts" that I recently shot at Donner Lake in Truckee, California. If you're not into traditional landscape photos, these can look more like a painting on the wall. Especially if you order them as canvas prints. Do you like this look as much as I do?

Good morning from Donner Lake in Truckee, California. Shot this morning as the low fog was burning off. A cool faint little fogbow can be seen on the right. Have a beautiful day!

Good morning from Donner Lake in Truckee, California! Shot this morning 3-14-26. It's going to be a beautiful day out there. Enjoy it!
