Bolinas-Fairfax Rd, Mill Valley // Sony RX1r2
The road down to Alpine Lake from the top of Mount Tamalpais, via the Bolinas-Fairfax Road was closed to car traffic. Wendy and I hiked down to a switchback and found a beautiful scene to dance in.

The windy roads of the Bolinas-Fairfax ridge are beautiful, especially when this sea of fog rolls right over the top.

Cleveland Dam, Vancouver, BC // Sony RX1r2
Often I find myself imagining one single shot when I arrive at a new location. Even though the surrounding is full of beautiful and exciting angles and subjects to shoot, I have a tendency to visualize one image and spend an entire sunset trying to get that one shot. I end up with much fewer images, and admittedly, I do a lot less exploring within one location, but the rewards of attempting to get my final vision is always worthwhile.
This photo was taken at the Cleveland Dam parking lot. I never made it even close to the dam. It is a beautiful place, as I’ve seen from photos, but I never made it far enough before it got too late and we all became too hungry to go take a look.
Hualien, Taiwan // Sony RX1r2
The times I have visited Taiwan, the country my parents grew up in, I have always been shuttled around from food cart to restaurant, back to grandma’s house for the eighth meal of the day, and back out to a food cart. Not at all a bad thing, but returning to Taiwan this year, I knew I wanted to photograph some of the beautiful landscapes on the island.
I spent a few days exploring on my own, and was absolutely amazed by the Taroko National Park. I’ve been to national parks within the United States, epic landscapes in Iceland and many parts of Europe, but this was totally different. I can’t put a finger on it, but it was an experience I will never forget.

I had an incredible time photographing at the W Taipei hotel. This is a series of Silhouettes of the beautiful Anne Winterson.

Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve, Oakland, CA // Sony RX1rm2
Whenever I’m asked to recommend good places for sunrise in the San Francisco Bay Area, Sibley always tops my list. It’s not in San Francisco, but it’s just across the bay. Looking east, you see rolling hills, morning mist, and Mount Diablo on the horizon giving a great sense of depth and scale.

Meeks Bay, Tahoma, California // Sony RX1r2
The Priime team relocated to Lake Tahoe for the week to work amongst this change in scenery from our office in the SOMA district of San Francisco. Our views were incredible.

Low fog after a nice winter storm at Tunnel View in Yosemite was beautiful. I was lucky enough to catch a few stars while there was a little light left in the sky.

Mount Tamalpais, California // Sony RX1r2
My good friend and talented photographer, Pete Halvorsen, was in town for the holidays. I rounded up a few Priime style authors and friends, and we headed up to Mount Tamalpais for some photo fun.
It’s been awhile since I’ve seen the mountain so green, a welcome sight for sure.
Good times with Michael O’Neal, Mat Rick, Pei Ketron, Adrienne Young, Cory Maryott and of course, Pete Halvorsen.

Dewey Point, Yosemite National Park // Sony RX1r2
From Badger Pass, Issa and I strapped on rented snowshoes and hiked 3.5 miles to Dewey Point to see the beautiful views. The round trip snow shoe trek of over 7 miles was kind of a challenge for first time snow shoers like ourselves. I wish we had rented hiking poles and gotten better shoes for the hike!
At Dewey Point, we couldn’t see much as the fog and snow came down on us. The experience was definitely worth it. I’ll never forget the beautiful forest meadows and the peaceful trails.

Fun fact, my Priime co-founder is named Loren Baxter, which was why this scene caught my eye in the first place.

Priime HQ, San Francisco, California // Sony RX1r2
One of the things I value most about Priime is that our Style Authors, users, and friends are always welcome to the office. Our community is the most important aspect of anything we do, and it is always wonderful to have visitors.
There’s always much to be learned in talking and learning from those around us. Here’s a scene from when Kelly (@saysthefox) paid a surprise visit to our office and conversed with our designer, Loren, at the steps of the Priime HQ.

Gardiner, Montana // Sony RX1r
I was filling up on gas and could not help but notice the lodge across the street. The road was a bit wet, and had an almost orange hue, contrasting with the cool wintery scene above.
