The things I have on my bucket list for fall (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Typically, when fall rolls around, I make a point of getting out and taking photos of the aspens changing color on the “peak” weekend. I plan weeks in advance to get up to my go-to mountain spots, and squeeze it all in over that short window, before the trees become hauntingly bare and the alpine grasses turn their various shades of brown.But I’ve come to realize that essentially stuffing all of fall into a single, rushed weekend is a great way to suck the joy out of autumn, rather than really i
I don’t quite know where to go from here (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When I originally started writing here, the intention was to talk about hiking and all the ways to get outside, even as a newbie. And somewhere along the way, as I included photographs of my past hikes and adventures, I realized that to some extent, the images were why some of you chose to tag along and stick around.It’s an odd feeling, though, because my decision to write was something I started doing as I shifted away from my career as a full-time photographer (and the ever-present burnout tha
What happens when we seek out imperfection in our photos? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m a perfectionist by nature. And to be clear, I stopped viewing it as a strength back in college, when my incessant need to get things “just right” led to more morning than I can count watching the sun rise in a sleep-deprived state, with a calculus textbook broken open in front of me as energy drink rings dancing across the pages.Since those days, I’ve come to realize that the most meaningful results rarely come from aiming for an ideal output. More often than not, they stem from a willingnes

Read excerpt
For most of my life, I’ve felt this incessant need to move at breakneck speed. To juggle several projects at once. To always be pursuing some sort of end game.I’m a type A person by nature, and I’ve always struggled with being able to sit still, especially during moments when I’m asked to simply relax. There’s this nagging voice in the back of my head telling me that what I should really do is turn the present into a productive moment.I’ve been on this hamster wheel longer than I can remember. L
Part two: little ways to take epic photos in crowded places (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Back in April, I shared a few of my favorite (and not-so-obvious) ways to take beautiful photos in crowded places. Specifically, the techniques that go beyond the surface level and make the most out of a landscape that feels jam-packed with people. And I got a request to make a part two that got even further in the weeds. Since we’re in the thick of summer travel season, and so many of us are trying to get outdoors and capture “the shot,” without having hoards of people in the image, I figured n
