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 …
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.

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 …

The falls sit about 18 kilometers southeast of Luang Prabang and a short walk from the small village of Bak En. Getting there felt quiet and unhurried, the …
Back in 2019, the guys I sail with and I chartered a 50′ monohull out of Tortola and spent ten days exploring the Virgin Islands. It was one of those trips you don’t really understand in the moment — but later you realize it stamped itself permanently into your memory. We hopped from island to …
I’ve been going to Key West since just after high school, and somehow it continues to feel familiar and new every time I make the trip. I was back again this past July 4th weekend with friends, but my history with this island stretches all the way through my adult life—quiet Christmases when I didn’t …
