Against The Grain #1: A Year Without a Tripod (mostly)
Apr 16, 2020

I spent the bulk of my 2019 hikes shooting handheld, and it was both a constraint and a freedom—both are sources of learning, creativity, and inspiration.

Confessions of a Misanthropic Landscape Photographer…
Oct 28, 2019

…it was a gut reaction to a powerful scene, and because I got the shot that captured all the complex and contradictory things I was feeling about my visit there, it stuck with me.
