TRAVELING WITH YOUR CAMERA GEAR
It looks like we all may soon be able to travel again soon! With that in mind Nicole and I thought we would share a recent interview we did for a travel site. We were asked about our strategies for packing our gear. Since this is something we are regularly asked about we thought we…
NEWFOUNDLAND PHOTO TOUR TRIP REPORT
Ah! Newfoundland. This island is affectionately known by locals as “the rock”. With amazing wildlife spectacles and rugged beauty of the landscape, this is one of our favorite destinations in North America. This year, we led two back to back trips, and they did not disappoint. Like most of North America, spring was running behind…
Monarch Photo Tour Trip Report 2019
Monarch Butterfly Lovers from across the USWow! What a trip! We just got back from the mountains of Mexico where we spent time enjoying and photographing millions of Monarch butterflies!

Photographing a Parrot Clay Lick - 2
No trip to the Amazon would be complete without a visit to a clay lick. On our last trip to Ecuador we did just that and it was so cool. I had no idea that this sort of thing took place and even just hearing about it, it was hard to imagine. The story is…

The Oxbow can be beautiful at any time of day but the light at sunrise can be especially spectacular. As all of you know, Landscape Photography is all about the light. So, we were all very disappointed…
Photographing Loons – A Visit with some old Friends - 1
Recently had a chance to visit some old friends… LOONS! Back in the nineties I spent nearly a decade photographing these amazing and interesting birds. Nicole and I went up for two weekends this June and early July and were lucky enough to be there the day the baby hatched. Loons live almost exclusively in…
Chance favors the prepared mind - 1
This is one of my favorite images from a recent trip to Tanzania. Shots like this don’t “just happen” well… sometimes they do, but more often than not they are anticipated and planned for. In the instance of this image, we had this herd of Zebra feeding before this beautiful African landscape, with a group…
The People of Peru
Well it has been a whirlwind of travel and adventures lately. From Peru, to Colorado, then Mothapalooza in Ohio (google it lol) then Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands, and most recently The Smoky Mountains for the eclipse, which was breathtaking! I am so fortunate to be able to experience different places and cultures around the world.…
