Introducing my new photo project: Ultra
Note: This post originally appeared in issue #30 of my newsletter, Stillnotes. Subscribe there for my newest images and essays.

I always find a way to keep writing and photos a part of my life in some way. There’s been…

It’s a fascinating book, and reading it has surfaced an equation I can’t get out of my head: Attention + Audacity = Art Attention One minute you’re walking along Tinker Creek enjoying the sunset the next you’re seeing a frogs innards sucked out by a water bug, then…

6 email services I recommend for photo newsletters

These software tools will power your email list, designing and sending your emails, and more if you decide you take it further. My focus in this article is around free or affordable options that make it easy to get started. I’m basing my recommendations off of these assumptions: You’re just…

Why you should start a photo newsletter
Why you should start a photo newsletter
Sharing photography online in 2022 is a fraught endeavor. It’s easy, sure, but for all the wrong reasons. You’re faced with algorithms favoring short form video, feeds that never gave your image more than a few seconds of attention anyway, quality compression, and small screens to boot. The recent uproar about Instagram’s push further into short form video isn’t surprising, nor is it the first…

Spec shoot for camera pack brand Atlas Packs. Their packs feel truly built for adventure and multi-disciplinary days outside, which is why I produced and shot this concept of a morning backcountry skiing up to a ridge for a sunrise photo mission.

Trail Guide: My 7 Favorite Trail Runs in Boulder
Trail Guide: My 7 Favorite Trail Runs in Boulder
There are few cities in the country as good for trail running as Boulder, Colorado. Boasting more than 150 miles of trails, not to mention access to bigger adventures west of town, Boulder is a certified outdoor dreamland. During my years living there I got to know the trails well, picking up trail running as a favorite pastime and an outlet when the pandemic hit and the city shut down. Below…
