N E W B O O K • I’m delighted to share Adventure Buddies Vol. 4, Lookout Roulette with you.

This is the story of Isaac Johnston and I’s mad quest to find the wildest fire lookouts to overnight at.

This is our fourth volume probably our best one. I know i’m biased but bear with me here… It’s our best one yet because we went to very unique places, took risks with the concept, and thanks to that, the photos turned out really well.

Going on a trip with your best friend and experiencing all the things that happen like: getting lost, swimming in a freezing cold river, making coffee in the sun, having a good laugh at how stupid a situation becomes, are all essential things to our wellbeing. In fact, it should be mandatory to have trips like this every summer!

A very happy 2023 to you and your family! This past year has been full of surprises and stretching which I’m thankful for.

When it comes to 2023, it’s tempting to start setting goals and mileposts left and right but I found its good to give me a few weeks. To see what really sticks..

Also, focusing on one word I’really helps me too — “Dedication” is the one for next year. Finding and telling the stories of people who are dedicated to what they do: what sacrifices, what rewards, what’s daily life like.

Excited for what’s to come✌🏻

It is rare a thing to have all the elements line up to make the photo you’ve dreamt of. All too often life, or the weather, or the conditions get in the way and you fall short of your expectations. Some images, though, are worth fighting for..

I like images where you can get lost in — although nothing can replace the experience of seeing something with your own eyes, I feel this image gives you a decent idea of the delicate assortment of sandy towers that is Bryce Canyon… With a tele-photo, it’s quite a demanding place to photograph since everything *can* be a composition under the right light.
