Hi, I’m Brent, an amateur photographer living in Springdale, AR. One of my happy places is the mountains, and in particular the Rocky Mountains. My favorite way to explore the mountains is through hiking/backpacking, and I have done a significant amount of hiking throughout the Rockies, including hiking the Continental Divide Trail from Canada to Mexico. This has allowed me to see and photograph so many awe inspiring places and scenes.
In 2011/2012 I got into photographing fire hydrants. This has since taken me on many road trips through many, many towns I otherwise wouldn’t have visited, in search of the “treasure” of a fire hydrant picture. In the spring of 2026, I bicycled Route 66 (from Santa Monica, CA to Chicago, IL), capturing photos of fire hydrants along the way. (More info on the background of my fire hydrant photography and Route 66 trip can be found here.)
My Instagram posts and stories are the best way to stay up to date with my photography and to get to know more about me. (A link to my Instagram can be found in the main menu.) Speaking about learning more about me, in addition to hiking and photography, you can find me enjoying my free time by running, bicycling, cooking/baking, reading, and listening to podcasts. I also volunteer on the board of directors for the Ozark Highlands Trail Association.
