There are places I visit and places I return to. Cape Cod falls firmly in the second category…and has for most of my adult life. I’ve camped there in August heat and in the dead of winter, stayed in friends’ homes on the bay side, and spent nights in places where the sheets were ironed …

For the past fourteen years, Hawaii has been more than a destination for me—it has become a place of rhythm, reflection, and creative energy. It’s where I go to reset, to explore, and to capture moments that feel timeless. Somewhere between the sway of the palms and the glow of the Pacific at sunset, I …

There is a kind of photography that travel writers and Instagram briefly describe as “discovering” a place. You arrive somewhere new, you photograph it intensely for a few days, and you leave with a portfolio of images that capture what the place looks like to a stranger encountering it for the first time. I have …

I’ve shared this same composition in summer before, but with winter upon us I wanted to offer a glimpse of what Yosemite National Park and the Gates of the Valley likely look like this morning. Returning to the same places in different seasons is one of the great privileges of photography—watching the environment transform completely …
The Hammock, Cozumel I made this photograph in late 2012, on a cruise with a group of friends. One of our stops was Cozumel — an island known for its turquoise water, coral reefs, and the particular kind of unhurried rhythm that only certain places in the Caribbean ever seem to get right. When we …
In the summer of 2014, I arrived at Inle Lake almost by accident—and it ended up being one of the most meaningful places I’ve ever photographed. Myanmar (formerly Burma) had only recently begun opening its borders after decades of isolation. Tourism was still limited, infrastructure was minimal, and much of the country felt untouched by …
The sun had just slipped below the horizon when I made this photograph. El Morro Castle stood watch over the Malecón as the last light softened across the water and the Caribbean broke against the rocks below. I was there on a sailing trip with a group of friends, and that evening carried the rare, …
Yosemite in winter is a world of its own—quiet, mystical, and absolutely breathtaking. I took this photograph during a solo trip in January 2018, just after a heavy snowfall. The air was cold, the valley was silent, and for a brief moment, the clouds broke just enough for this frame to come alive. This particular …
I met Ahmed in Saqqara, Egypt, while exploring the oldest pyramid in the world—the Step Pyramid of Djoser. Long before the smooth-sided pyramids of Giza were imagined, this was where monumental stone architecture began. Built nearly 4,700 years ago by the architect Imhotep, the Step Pyramid marked humanity’s first attempt at reaching the sky with …
I took this photograph at Hanging Lake in Colorado several years ago. I’d been there before with friends, but on this trip I decided to go up alone. I drove down the interstate to the trailhead, parked the car, and headed up the trail late in the afternoon with the intention of photographing the lake …
