Photo Essay: 
It was the Fall of 2020, we were in the throws of COVID and the Presidential Campaign of 2020.  

I had left NYC months before and was hunting for magic in the natural world. I called myself a landscape photographer, yet I had not shot anything that I was in love with. NYC had spoiled me and I was searching for landscapes that filled me with the feels.  

This image was one of my first shots that started to move the feels needle. As a fly fisherman, I spent so many hours "on the water" and I wanted shots that made me feel like I did while fishing.  🧵1

After sharing the above image one of my Instagram friends Corey, known as @flightlevelfoto (Instagram) suggested I shoot closer to the reflection in the foreground.  

The following week I am back on the water to shoot the glows and reflections of this pool in the brook. 

I walk around the brook shooting dozens of images and some long exposures, but the water looks better with ripples and reflections in this comp. I like the painterly vibe. And want the whole frame filled with color and texture.  

That's me standing in the middle of the stream wearing hip boots and capturing this shot. Second image credit: Taiga Colton
