The last few weeks I have been transitioning habits and approaches to life in a healthy way. I will get into that more in depth in a in a later post, but for now, I want to update with where I am at currently.
The other day while photographing the Black Hills of South ...

I understand for many people having to jump through hoops and check Patreon to keep up with my work may be a hassle. I also recognize many people who support my Patreon often follow my work on Instagram and/or other social media. I have combined both of these applications to better streamline my work to eve...

By this point, I feel everyone knows that basis of what took place in February of 2020 in Brunswick, GA. On that day, 3 men chased down an unarmed Black man, Ahmaud Arbery, as he was jogging through a majority white neighborhood. His killing flew underneath the radar, covered up for the most part by local officials, until a video of his death su...

(First off, I would like to preface that when viewing these (and all) Patreon images, it is highly recommended that one views this photographs on a computer and not a cellphone. To get the high resolution view of the images in all their glory, it's recommended to view them as large as possible. Cellphones do not do these photographs justic...

History: Congress appropriated $5,000 for the construction of the Bass Harbor Head Light after it was determined that “sufficient need” existed to have a lighthouse near the entrance to Bass Harbor. This was followed by the addition of a fog bell and tower i...

One of many reasons I made my way Northeast from the West, besides smoke haze and running circles, was to reset how I approach my work. That includes how I was interact with Patreon. The first year, while getting my feet wet behind the wheel, it was hard to keep up to date with daily sharing. Much of the west has large patches of nature wh...

My mind is a little scattered at the moment after learning of the passing of a dear friend this morning. I intended this to be a more in depth update about my experience, but my mind is all over the place. Regardless, here is a short recount of my time the last few days, documenting an organic farm in Vermont. Below are some of my favorite image...

You've probably been wondering why I haven't been updating here on Patreon lately, and to be honest, I don't have much of an excuse. I recently made it from the far west to the North East. I will be giving a much more in depth explanation as to why and how I ended up this way, but while I have a few minutes of wifi, I wanted to share some images...

It has been a hectic few weeks since my last update, but I feel I say that nearly every update. Yesterday, I sat down and did some statistics on my trip thus far. In the 10 months I have been on the road, I have sat stiill for a total of 1.75 months. Between building out my second van in Flagstaff, Arizona after totalling my first one, and spend...

I recently sat down (via zoom) with Photography Daily, a UK podcast focused on photographers. Feel free to visit the link above and check out the podcast.
We have reached a point in the van life saga that has nearly resorted to not much more than survival. Never did I imagine when first setting off on this adventure the actual impact of climate change, and how that would impact day-to-day life. With first setting sail in September of last year, I embarked in reasonably comfortable levels. Sure, th...

This past week I read an article that explained in depth how we humans tend to sleep with only half our brains resting at a time when sleeping in a new environment for the first time, and how it impacts our health. Survival mode. This really got me thinking about how this relates ...

“It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart, and head.”

Whew weeeeeee. Sorry for the massive delay with updating. I've been having anxiety about updating here bc I really didn't know how to address all the backlogged photographs I wanted to share.

The California coastline is hands down one of the most sought after road trip in the United States. Taking the 101 to the classic 1, one can cruise nearly 800 miles of pacific coastline, or close to it, but to have a section of the coast all to yourself? Good luck!
It's not hard to imagine that deep in the heart of every adventurer t...

Yesterday, I made my way out of Yellowstone and headed south into Idaho. With much of the state consisting of mountain ranges, I wanted to avoid further winter freeze. . Following the valleys south, I made my way to Driggs, Idaho, located just to the west of the Teton Mountain range in Wyoming. Using iOverlander (an amazing boondocking app), I t...

Every year, over 4 million visitors make their way to the corners of Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho to visit Yellowstone National Park. Established as the nations first in 1872, Yellowstone spans over 3,471 square miles and includes some of the most diverse geology in the country as well as outstanding wildlife viewing.

Will be focusing more on daily to bi-daily updates moving forward. Even just a week is too long to hone in on experiences and truly explain this path. Hope y’all do...

Tonight, I am in the small town of Kayenta, Arizona. Kayenta, a community of 5,500, is located within the Navajo Nation and straddles the border of Utah. The town is a gateway to Monument Valley and a vaccination location for coronavirus. Since the beginning of the outbreak, the Navajo Nation has been one of the most impacted communities across ...

First off, thank you for joining my Patreon account. It means a lot to have your support. Truly. The last few weeks have been hectic. To be honest, the last 6 months have been hectic, but the last couple weeks have been logistically mind numbing.

Thank you so much for the consideration in joining my Patreon and helping make this journey a reality. For the last 6 months, I have been traveling across the nation in hopes of creating a photography book, documenting all 50 states. This long-term, multi-year project would not be possible without the love, encouragement, and financial sup...
