This past week I found myself camped out around 9,000 feet up in the Pryor Mountains of Montana photographing wild horses. This is one of my favorite places to steal away to for a few […]
Over the Rim
Gravity is so limiting isn’t it? It shackles us to the world in ways that just really hamper our creative abilities some times. We all like to say the sky is the limit when it […]
The Voyage of the Red Knot
This past spring, I had the opportunity to spend a morning laying face down in the sand photographing red knots. This was a long time coming for me. For many years I have threatened […]
Chasing Patterns of Light
High up in the Canadian Rocky Mountains of Alberta, I found myself one morning on the hunt for moose. The moose here somehow are eclipsed by the fame of the elk rut. But coming […]
Wild Horses Out of the Fog
It never ceases to amaze me what I find along the beach in the morning. From old fossils washed up, to pieces of shipwrecks, beautiful shells, and even wildlife. This particular morning, I was heading […]
Yellowheaded Blackbirds
After finishing up my workshops in Jackson Hole, I decided I needed a morning of in a cattail marsh all to myself. Watching the world come alive in a freshwater marsh is good for the […]
Green Jays of the Rio Grande Valley

Western Diamondbacks along the Rio Grande

The healing effects of the ocean
In March, my story for the Coastal Review Online was awarded best beat feature writing in North Carolina by the North Carolina Press Association. This was a big honor for me and one that I […]
Rocky Mountain Arsenal
For the last couple of years, I have been on a quest for big mule deer bucks. Now, living in the West as I do, mule deer are absolutely everywhere. On every pasture, in every […]
Crocodiles of the Cuero y Salado Honduras
Floating down the Rio Saluda in a small native boat in Honduras, I found myself searching for crocodiles at high noon. This wasn’t exactly the time of day one expects to do any serious wildlife […]
Swimming Horses
Along the coast of North Carolina, there is a population of wild horses thought to be the oldest in North America. It was here where Western Civilization first crashed into mainland North America, and these […]
Story Trumps Everything
When is it OK not to see the eyes of your wildlife subject? When is it OK to photograph “butt shots?” When the story that the photograph tells is powerful enough to override just about […]
The Pink Meanie of Panama with the new(ish) Knekt 6″ Dome Port for the GoPro
Like all photographers, I love my toys. And like most of you, I too have a couple gopro cameras that I tote around with me to play with. While on a recent trip to Panama, […]
Fishing Bears with the Nikon D5
There is definitely something exhilarating about watching a 400lb sow brown bear come charging straight at you through the water. Of course, that feeling would be a little different if it wasn’t for the fact […]
Puffins Galore
After a 30 minute boar ride across the most beautiful glacial blue waters I have ever seen, we arrived at a spectacular hunk of rock rising up out of the sea completely covered in horned […]
Brown Bear Reflections
The biggest problem one faces when photographing brown bears along the banks of Cook Inlet in Alaska, is that they keep getting too damn close. Now, I should admit that I was being stubborn this […]
Sage Grouse: America’s Bird of Paradise P. 2
One hundred years ago there was an estimated 16 million greater sage grouse in the world. At least that is according to those who figure things out like that. Theirs was a world of seemingly never […]
Sage Grouse: America’s Birds of Paradise p. 1
Last week I was driving down a long wash board dirt road through a veritable sea of sagebrush. I had been here before a couple of years ago in this remote section of high desert […]
Three Toed Sloth on Cover of Outdoors Unlimited
26 This year, while I was down in Panama, I learned that a photograph of mine from a trip to Panama last year made the front cover of December’s Outdoors Unlimited. This is a photo […]
