About

Hi, I’m Chris.

I’m a software engineer in San Luis Obispo who spends a lot of his free time behind a camera.

Most of what’s here was shot around the Central Coast: fog over Morro Bay, the hills above Big Sur, long evenings at the beach, along with portraits of friends and the people I get to spend time with.

When I’m not taking photos, I’m building software at Amazon, mountain biking, scuba diving, or flying airplanes!
