There resides a quiet paradox in nature photography. The continuous struggle to remain fully present while simultaneously performing an invisible choreography of decisions. If all goes right, occasionally you experience one of those rare moments behind the lens where everything aligns, if only for a moment…then the light changes, and it’s gone as quickly as it came.

America’s lands have left an indelible mark in my development as a photographer and subsequently as a human being. The Oregon Coast stirred something ancient in me, the stars of the Mojave revealed a universal theater, and the birds of the Everglades showed me a true sanctuary. In the end, we feel the world as much as we observe it, and I strive to form images that bear that weight.
