The Appalachians have long been known for coal. But a shift is taking place as solar panels begin to dot the landscape.
I was asked to take journalistic/documentary style images to complement this article written by The Nature Conservancy. Check out the article here on TNC’s website.

Read MoreI was contacted by a team from Merrell and Camp4 Collective, who were looking for outdoor photographers to participate in a group photo project. The concept was simple: one photographer in each state would go out on an iconic trail and capture candid portraits of the hikers and landscapes, all on the same day. No models, no athletes, nothing staged. The idea was to show how “one trail unites us all” as images of people all over the United States would be brought together in the final piece.

Read MoreThis all started when I was in North Carolina, producing a corporate video project that had been in development for more than six months. I was directing a crew all week long to shoot interviews and b-roll at a huge electronics repair facility. After one of our shoot days, I saw a job posting from photographer Zach Sutton and Gary Martin of RGG EDU, both of whom happen to be fellow writers with me at fstoppers.com. They needed a behind the scenes shooter in Albuquerque for about a week.
Read MoreThings are finally starting to pick up a bit in this small town called Cortez which I call home. I've been able to join a group of climbers, and every Monday we are able to get together for some chill climbing and socializing. Much needed after a long day of blogging and editing!
