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.

“Some people feel like they don't deserve love. • They walk away quietly into empty spaces, trying to close the gaps of the past.”

“There is something special about a quiet untouched forest that just pulls you into the moment. • Something that no parks will ever be able to achieve. • Isn't that what we're all searching for in life? • To just be happy and content in the moment, to just be there in the "now"?”

It’s rare to find a quiet corner in a crowded bar, that has perfect light. • It’s even more rare when you find @krakauernotwriting sitting there, staring out the window, enjoying a beer. • I couldn’t let the moment pass without acknowledging it.

Day 2 of the US Open of Cross in Boulder has me wishing there was going to be a Day 3...

Day 2 of the US Open of Cross in Boulder meant bundling up.

Day 2 of the US Open of Cross in Boulder was a winter wonderland.

Day 1 of the US Open of Cross in Boulder had me reconnecting. • I haven’t seen @mashedpotatoesandfrosting since my @gymjonessalvation Level 1 certification in 2007 (?). • I was pleasantly surprised when I saw him ride by, and even more pleased that he recognized me. • Well done Shawn. It was great seeing you.

Day 1 of Cross Nationals in Boulder may not go as planned.

Day 1 of Cross Nationals in Boulder delivered.

In front of a packed house at the @bouldertheater, @jeremyjones, backed by the staff members of @protectourwinters, expressed the impact we each can have on the preservation of our wild places. • There is still time to effect change. • Text 52886 and answer “votepow” for easy info on how to register.

Last night, I had the opportunity to join @jeremyjones and @elenahight (along with a sold out @bouldertheater) for the world premiere of “Ode to Muir”. • I left feeling inspired, proud, and hopeful. • This film should be required viewing for anyone who needs a reminder of the importance of wilderness, and the effects climate change is having on our world.

The awkward nature of the atlas stones and weighted logs quickly make a challenge out the lightest object. • In other words, don’t expect your numbers from the barbell to transfer over...

I’ll call it “The Set”. • That moment just before you put forth an effort, when each of us goes somewhere mentally or says something to themselves to help them through that next effort. • I’m fascinated by that moment.

“I can change the world, with my own two hands.”

“Pain and Happiness are the coverings over reality.”

You can keep your sunny days. • I’ll be shooting in the rain.
