19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Poppy Superbloom 2019

Prior to living in California, I had never heard of a superbloom. I didn't think I was much into flowers until I saw Walker Canyon - this was the first location Ive ever seen with a superbloom. I was hooked, and started to travel around California to document other locations where a superbloom was happening.
