I tell stories through images.

I search for moments of honesty, using natural light and shadow to enhance the raw beauty of human experiences.

Though an image reflects a singular moment, in that split second a complex array of feelings and emotions are revealed, conveying a much greater story of the person and place.

Through these images, I tell stories of remarkable individuals and the stunning world in which we live. I cherish the meaningful relationships I’ve built through this storytelling journey and look forward to the discovery new collaborations will bring.

Rainy and moody outside. • Warm and intense inside.

“Evenings are the beautiful sweet spot between the harsh light of the day, and the dead darkness of night.”

I try to never rely to heavily on the “perfect lighting”. • As the light changed, so did the opportunity to creatively photograph @jourdanbaldwinfitness in different ways.

If a @zaltousa falls in the kitchen, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Surround yourself with people of passion.

Bikes. • Coffee. • Beers. • Friends. • All in all, an amazing weekend spent shooting with @rideargyle.

Last night I had the opportunity to shoot at @thenorthface in Boulder as @kitdski and @brodyleven premiered their virtual reality experience “Hill to Hill”. • The film, a collaborate between @protectourwinters and @ducttapethenbeer followed Kit and Brody as they dropped in on Terminal Cancer couloir, and then, D.C. • Another great reminder of the importance your vote has on the environment.

High above Telluride, just past an engaging scramble, racers would come by in all sorts of emotional states. • Elated. Scared. Exhausted. Motivated. • Although I’m sure it was just a matter of time before they eventually went through them all.

Storm clouds that had been building all morning began releasing as racers arrived at Imogene Pass. • As @chefchampagne passed through I managed this quick shot, which out of context is hard to decipher and leaves a lot to interpretation. • Which I love.

Are you lonely, or simply alone? • The concept of community and solitude has come up in several conversations recently, and it had me considering the decision to be alone in the mountains and the varying degrees of solitude “being alone” includes.

Woke up this morning, had some coffee, then went to my car...which had been vandalized. • Back window smashed out. • Along with three others in the neighborhood. • Might be too early for a drink, but never to early to admire one. • Final image of the set from @tavernettadenver.

I often get asked “Can I see that in color?” or “Do you shoot in color?”. • The answer is yes, I just prefer black and white. • The following series of new cocktails from @tavernettadenver will be in black and white on my feed, but in color on my stories. • Have a look and let me know what you think.

@dirtbagsomm monitoring her excitement before giving the exit another go on Gill Direct (V4).

“Easy” climbing takes on a different feel once you get a bit of air between you and the ground.

No throwbacks today. • Just @dirtbagsomm working on The Gil Direct (V4) on a perfect October afternoon.
