Thanks!

What an amazing country!

I just arrived in Western Australia to do some fun aerial photography with my friends Kane Engelbert and Scott McCook. I have around 5k images from New Zealand I need to go through, but here's a quick sampling of the variety I was able to capture there. What a freakin' place! I think I'm in love!

It’s wild!!!!!

Thanks man hopefully can get to editing more work soon

Greetings from New Zealand, where I've just concluded an amazing workshop! We had some incredible conditions on this trip and I loved the diversity of landscapes here!

Mount Tasman, New Zealand's second-highest peak at 11,473 feet, rises above the glaciated ridgelines of the Southern Alps.

These are my favorite kind of photographs to find. Ambiguous scale, texture, abstract yet familiar. Just a simple find on a recent trip out to Outer Banks. Hope you like it =)

Hahah I still sing that!

Love that!

Hmmmm it does! It’s kind of hard to explain how though.

Here are four black and white infrared images I captured in Outer Banks recently while co-leading a workshop with my buddy Richard Bernabe. Always fun to explore these areas in black and white infrared when I can!

Here's four more images I captured last month while co-leading a workshop in Death Valley with David Thompson for Muench Workshops. Always a joy to revisit Death Valley! This year it was quite different with the super bloom which brought with it lots of caterpillars and bugs!

I really loved photographing these backlit grasses at sunset from Saratoga Springs in Death Valley last month. Backlight is the best!

This is the kind of image that does really badly on social media, but would look awesome printed huge on the wall. The texture and color in this wave is really something worth checking out!

Snow-covered trees densely packed in a winter forest with a distant mountain under a soft purple sky at dawn.

Aerial view of winding river channels weaving through a golden and reddish landscape resembling tree roots.

Soft pastel sky with a full moon above smooth, rolling white sand dunes at dawn.

Full moon rising behind jagged mountain peaks under a soft purple twilight sky.

A couple of weeks ago, I co-led a workshop with my buddy Richard Bernabe out at Outer Banks. On our last morning, I was showing our clients how to use their telephoto lens to get scenes like this. I was really pumped to get this capture. I noticed the potential and just waited for the perfect time.

That’s AI

232 pages. Years in the field. Now it's a real thing people are holding. 💖
The Colorado Way documents my time on the Colorado Trail and Colorado's 100 highest peaks. Seeing it come to life and land in people's hands has been genuinely satisfying.

Thank you Ben - I hope you enjoy the book!

My kind of subjects!

WHAT!? How dang cool is that?

Thank you sir :)

Thank you sir =)

Stockfish racks, Lofoten. Same process since the 12th century: hang the cod, let the Arctic air do the work. Most of it still ends up in Italy. A thousand years of the same solution to the same problem. Still works.

That second image is particularly nice.

Thanks dude, hope you have been doing well!
