Trucker by day. Photographer in soul.
New photographer shooting landscapes, portraits, street, and life on the road.
Always learning, one mile at a time.

The sharp point of the truck cutting into that deep blue sky.
Sometimes the simplest shapes hit the hardest.

Custom black truck sitting clean in the lot.
Love the stance and those wheels.

Dipstick (Dippy) giving me that classic side-eye this morning.
This little guy has been my road companion through so many miles. Can't imagine trucking life without him.

Late night drive-by of Insight Hospital glowing against the dark blue sky.
Work needed on Low Light Photography. Every shot is practice.

Sunrise this morning between trucks in Laurel, MT. Really like how the industrial steel meets the soft morning light and nature.

Late night stop at this rest area in Spearfish, South Dakota with this station. Something about the single bright light in the middle of total darkness just hits different… kinda creepy but I couldn’t resist.

Spotted this graceful Mallard gliding through the waters at Navy Pier. The mottled brown feathers and calm vibe make a true waterfront beauty! 🦆✨

Caught this view of the Chicago skyline today while on the road.

First feed post as an emerging landscape & portrait photographer.
Stopped at a rest area in Illinois and this bright yellow daylily caught my eye after the rain. Shot on Canon RAW, edited in DPP 4.
