Absolutely agree!

On the flip side, I also lead/teach a lot of photography workshops around the globe each year. Since Ai has come onto the scene, I have seen a massive uptick in people wanting to have their own experiences because they can't trust what they see online anymore.

This is very true. It is going to disrupt a lot of fields.

AI generated Videos are getting crazy! With access to Google Gemini 's VEO2 engine I was able to create this 8 sec video that mirrors nearly 100 clips I have personally filmed in Africa of leopards. It did it in under a minute with a few simple prompts.

What are your thoughts on AI generated video?

Collared Aracari in Flight

I love the challenge of photographing birds in flight. This is where your camera's AF system and high FPS (frames per second) come into play.

Sunrise over Torres del Paine in Patagonia

An incredible sunset over Torres del Paine in Southern Patagonia. Such a remarkable destination! While the weather here can be very unforgiving, it can also be rewarding when everything lines up!

Eyelash Pit Viper found in Costa Rica

The Eyelash Pit Viper (Bothriechis schlegelii) is an incredible species of snake found in parts of Central and South America. These smaller vipers are arboreal (live in trees) and are ambush predators. They get their name "Eyelash" because of the scales that can be found above their eyes.

Keel-billed Toucan in the rain

Keel-billed Toucans are both incredibly funny looking and insanely beautiful birds. They can be found in central and South America, but only Brazil has them listed as their national bird.

Young Silverback Gorillas in Uganda

There is no greater wildlife experience on the planet than seeing wild Silverback Gorillas from the ground! No safari vehicles separating you...just you, the gorillas and the surrounding jungle!

I highly recommend it! Such a magical destination!

Sunrise over Torres del Paine National Park in Patagonia

Pre-Dawn light appears over one of my favorite mountain ranges in the world, Torres del Paine in Southern Patagonia. Even after 20 trips to this region over the years, this view NEVER gets old!

Have you been to Patagonia before?

Sunrise over Karijini National Park in Western Australia

Easily one of my favorite hidden gems in Australia is Karijini National Park. Located in Western Oz, it consists of a handful of amazing gorges, pools and waterfalls in the middle of the outback.

Have you ever heard of it before?

So amazing to have it to yourself like that!

I highly recommend it. Lots of foot traffic there now days but still worth an experience!

Such a great spot!

The beauty of Antelope Canyon in Arizona

When the light hits the walls of Antelope Canyon in Northern Arizona, it becomes a pretty magical place!

A good puffy down jacket. I always get mine from Eddie Bauer as they generally have athletic cuts in "tall" sizes.

Alaskan Coastal Brown Bear in an Alaskan River fishing for salmon

One of the most impressive mammals on the planet is the Alaskan Coastal Brown Bear as they are one of the largest species of bear on the planet because of the abundance of food. During the summer months you can find them searching for salmon in the rivers.

Definitely a magical spot! Love camping at that camp site and waking up to Cerro Torre.

Damn! This is magical!

Beautiful! Love the colors!

Gorgeous! I love trying to shoot scenes like these with 4 or 5 minute exposures to get those flowy streaks in the sky. Love this part of Canada! Well done!
