2024 - The Best of the Bunch
What a year this has been for my photographic journey. I shot 21,474 photos as of December 11th and will likely shoot a few more before 2024 truly wraps. I went on photo trips to Great Sand Dunes National Park, the Wind River Range, Four Pass Loop, and Alaska…
Things to do (and eat) in Moab
Moab, a small town nestled in Utah’s red rock district, has occupied a special place in my heart since my first trip there with my parents and sister way back in 2017. Since then I’ve explored it six or seven times, once for a week straight as I worked remotely from the library parking lot (the WiFi was splendid and social distancing was… necessary). To say this place rocks is an understatement and I’m excited to share some of my favorite adventure (both short and long) and food recommendations.
Backpacking, Photography and Misadventures on Segment 8 of the Colorado Trail
When I backpacked this segment of the Colorado Trail in the summer of 2024, I knew it was going to be a tough weekend trip. The single-segment-distance was the longest I had done to date, the altitude was high above sea level at a ski resort, thunderstorms were possible in the afternoons, and I was going with a group of friends who would need help figuring out the logistics of a car shuffle.
The 40 that got away… and the one that didn’t
As some of you may have seen on my instagram and in my portfolio, I recently got back from a trip to Alaska where I got to explore with my family the Anchorage, Moose Pass, and Seward areas. During this trip I saw salmon running, hiked a bunch, visited the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and Alaska SeaLife Center, and went on a cruise around Kenai Fjords National Park!
