Today we collectively mourn the loss of a GIANT for human rights, James Earl Carter (1924-2024). I am so proud to have contributed to the vision and ongoing work that the Carter Center has done around the world in the name of humanity. While many don't remember President Carter for his time in the highest office of our country, he will be forever remembered for his and Rosalynn's undying commitment to humanity, peace and dignity for all. In 2014 had the privilege to dine with the Carter's when Jimmy was a spry 89 years young at a Carter Center retreat held in Vail, Colorado. Jimmy was so kind and insisted I present my donation in person at the auction after we had a nice chat about the wonderful flower filled meadows that my piece reminded him of when he and Rosalynn hiked from Aspen to Crested Butte years earlier. He was a man of the people, and had a sense of humor and undying humility until his life here on Earth was finally finished and he could join his beloved wife in the great beyond. Thank you Jimmy and Rosalynn, your legacy and vision will live on eternally!

A spectacular sunset illuminated the sky for only a brief moment before fading to darkness. It was hard to pull myself away from a friends music gig before they finished but luckily I have a few spots in this area that are easy to access in a moment's notice!

The California Sea Lions of Los Islotes are as playful as puppies! Diving with these gentle and curious animals was a highlight thus far in my diving experience and I can't wait to get back in the water. These are some of my first images captured underwater on my professional camera and I am ready to hone in these new skills as I embark on an entirely new and exciting body of work...stay tuned!

The Valley Floor Herd, Telluride Colorado

In the late afternoon of a peak fall day, a herd of elk presented themselves perfectly as the alpenglow flanked the box canyon of Telluride.

I am so excited about this image as it really is a culmination of so much effort and dedication to my craft dating back to the early 2000's when my photographs played an integral role in preserving this very place! To return 20 years later and seeing this ecosystem thriving so brilliantly was a testament to that work ethic and moreover my personal connection to this place and the beauty of Telluride.

Alpine Reflections- New Release- Edition of 100





Camping above 11,000 feet in Colorado's Holy Cross wilderness is a sublime experience. On this beautiful summer evening, my partner and I enjoyed some dehydrated camping grub while taking in this magnificent sunset from a high alpine tarn at the head of Cross Creek. Looking out from this vantage point, we took in the popular Missouri Lakes and Fancy Pass saddles from an entirely empty backcountry perch. The golden light and especially clear air made for an unforgettable experience I am excited to share with you!

Earth....nurturing a myriad of life for 4.5 billion years




As human being we sometimes forget that this beautiful blue planet is shared by so many wonderful creatures and fantastic natural gifts. The evolution of flowers spawned conditions for human beings to thrive. Fast forward many millennia and we are now standing at a crossroads. What is a planet void of diversity? What is a planet without the wonder and majesty of this infinite web of life. Sadly, as humans we are finding out the answers little by little until one day this delicate web may just collapse and it will then be glaringly obvious how interconnected we were in all of it. Is that the best we can do? I hope for the sake of every living creature that we are more intelligent than we are clever. Cleverness has brought many amazing innovations to humanity, however nothing humanity has dreamt up can compare to the beauty we have been offered. Tell your elected officials that a living planet is a non negotiable and fight like hell to hold them accountable.
