Dream / Office š® Creativity doesnāt have walls, but hereās what my brain would look like if it did. Iāll be tuning in to Adobe MAX next week, the worldās largest creativity conference, from this space (physically and metaphorically). For the first time, IT IS FREE. FREE!!! If you are a creative, take advantage of this opportunity. Speakers include Ava DuVernay, Zendaya, Tyler the Creator, Wes Anderson, and Conan OāBrien just to name a few. Basically, yes you DO have at least one creative bone in your body, and you should be there. I am looking forward to many of these talks, as well as sessions about the Adobe programs I use most often. Just imagine, instead of watching 17 YouTube tutorials and piecing together how to do something, you can learn directly from the source. As someone who has learned many of my technical skills through trial and error, this is a pretty mind-blowing concept. š Link to register is in my stories and MAX highlight. See ya there. šāāļø #AdobeMAX, @Adobe and #AdobePartner

Some layers of desert magicā¦ without leaving my bed šµš I created these back in July, inspired by my friend @wildginaaās gorgeous images of the Saguaros. I liked the variety of light that Gina captured in real life (see my stories or highlight for her work), and was curious to explore it in miniature. I tried to communicate the way the shadows roll across the land on days where the sun peeks through, and the warm feeling of a glowy sunset. Sometimes I sit on images for a while before sharing themā¦ which is true here. Typically with these mini scenes, Iām creating a feeling or a place that I have experienced myself. But Iād never spent significant time among these giants, so the process called for another layer of abstraction. I was working with what I imagined in my imagination, and what I felt looking at Ginaās images. I would be curious to see one of you take this one step further! A watercolor painting? A poem? An interpretive rollerskating routine? š§āØ Forever in awe of the unique ways we see the world. #OurGreatIndoors

Iāve always been drawn to anything that appears other-worldly, so naturally photographing deep space was very interesting to me! š½ Luckily @chevrolet was on board for my first foray into photographing deep sky objects, and lent me the fully electric #BoltEV for the adventure. ā§ I have to admitā¦ I am pretty stubborn when it comes to tech. This may sounds surprising, but Iām usually the last person to go out and get another gadget, or upgrade my gear. This was my first time using a star tracker (also called a tracking mount) and the learning curve was niiiice and humbling. š ā§ The images here show you some nebulae in the Cygnus region, and the Andromeda Galaxy. Overall Iām happy with the results, not because theyāre perfect at ALL, but because I learned a ton and know what I need to do for next time. I can absolutely see why folks get so addicted to this type of photography. Plenty of work and precision goes into it, but what your camera can capture is SO fascinating and rewarding. ā§ Iām sure Iāll get better at this (both the actually shooting and the post-processing) with time and practice. Swipe to enjoy a āØFailure CompilationāØ from some of my first attempts at aligning & balancing the mount. Donāt be afraid to try something new, and allow me to remind you that even those you may consider experts were once beginners. š ā§ Big thanks to @chevrolet for making this trip happen! I so enjoyed my first experience driving an electric car under the stars. #FindNewRoads

Right time. Right place. Much of photography is training yourself to really SEE, so that when the right moment comes, you know to create the photograph. Practice seeing first without the camera, and youāll be much more preparedā and connectedā once youāre behind the lens. ā§ PS - Got happy hour plans? If not, join me and the designer of my new site @jeffreyshipley for an IG Live. We will be taking you behind the scenes of our creative process, talking website tips, and answering your questions. Grab your favorite cocktail/mocktailā weāll see ya right here at 5pm PT!

As last summer came to a close, I noticed a mourning dove building a nest in the banana palm outside my window. A week later, these two appeared. I so enjoyed watching them grow. This is the biggest I saw them before I went away for a few weeksā when I got back, they were gone. Donāt forget to look out your very own window. You might be surprised š

Celebrating with so much gratitude todayā¦ because I have a BEAUTIFUL new website! To have my images, brand, philosophy, services and story displayed so beautifully online feels SO good. š„³š ā§ I grew up in the MySpace era (and ya know, my page looked GOOD š)ā tiled backgrounds, custom html/css, and my very own Livejournal detailing my high school (and later college) experience. I started the Erin Outdoors blog in 2014 on Wordpress, using my background knowledge and a pinch of trial & error. Since then, I have grown so much (thank you God) and so has my work, and I needed my website to truthfully show all of that. ā§ I am thrilled to have an online home that feels fully representative of my work, and the story that you all are a part of. Many of you have been following since the very beginning, which is totally bananas to me. Thank you so much for your trust. More for you is on the way š ā§ THANK YOU @jeffreyshipley & the team at @tonicsiteshop for bringing this to life! I am so grateful. Jeff and I will be doing an IG live next week sometime (will announce date/time on stories) to chat about the process behind the new site, and discuss any website questions you may have for yourself or your business. š„

Wonder. One of the most rewarding things to photograph. How incredible that it can be found anywhere. Depending on what youāre looking for, that is š¤
