Every Day is Earth Day - Limited Time Print Release!
|
I'm constantly reminded of the beautiful places Earth has to offer. In early April, I had a chance to spend nine days on Kauai with my fiancée's family, and my gosh, that place is amazing. Its unique microclimates, lush vs dry landscapes, and majestic coastlines make it a 'must-visit' in my book. (Stay tuned for next week's newsletter on how to visit and things to do.) But you also don't have to fly 3,000 miles to see beauty. You can walk the neighborhood as spring blooms unfold, or stroll in a forest at sunrise to see beautiful light rays. However you are choosing to get outside, I hope it brings you joy. Earth Day 2025 - Limited Time Print Sale
So, I know I'm a bit late for Earth Day. But still, every day is Earth Day in my book. I've put together some of my favorite photos from the last year or so into this gallery to show off the rugged and beautiful work we live in. As a photographer, one of the best ways to support us is by buying prints. The harsh reality of photography is that it's an incredibly competitive market, and we often know that when we go out to take photos, it's for our passion and enjoyment, rather than for monetary gain. That said, I would be honored to have my work hanging in your home or office, or given as a gift. If you see something you like or want to support my work and help me continue to photograph new destinations, buying a print or sharing my work is a wonderful way to start. Better yet, if you know anyone who runs a company and needs to update their artwork, I'd be stoked to offer a bulk discount. These prints will be available until May 5.
If you don't see a photo you like, shoot me an email with a few locations you'd love to have on your wall, and maybe I've been there! I don't have many East Coast photos, but I have plenty from throughout the West Coast and our national parks.

Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda In the early 1900s, mountain gorillas were not known to Europeans. By the 1980s, scientists feared that they would become extinct by the end of the 20th century due to poaching and the capture of baby gorillas for zoos. With that fear, conservation efforts ramped up, and Rwanda's government, along with NGOs, made a concerted effort to protect mountain gorillas from extinction. With numbers as low as 240 in the 1980s, they are now over 1,000. A new census is being...
Hi! It's been a long while. I know. The last time you heard from me, I was en route to Rwanda. That was an incredible trip, which I will discuss in more detail later. But first, my recent Colorado road trip. (Considering most of you are from the US, a trip to Colorado is far easier than one to Rwanda.)

Happy Friday! Been a little quiet over here as not much is going on. I'm battling through a hurt hip flexor/groin that has basically kept me from hiking since the end of July. But some exciting adventures are coming up that I cannot wait to share with you all! The biggest is a trip to Rwanda, which kicks off in 11 days, for 11 days. Keep an eye out for my newsletter later in September, and you can follow along on social media as we venture across the small African country, seeing gorillas,...
