i missed the shot that mattered most.

spent three hours in the cold waiting for that raven to turn. when it finally did, my focus locked on the branch behind it. sharp twigs, blurry bird.

sitting here now at 11pm, staring at what could've been, i'm reminded that this work isn't about perfection. it's about showing up, learning, and trying again tomorrow.

every print in my shop has a story like this behind it. failures that taught me something.

what's a recent lesson the outdoors taught you? 🪶

What you don't see: 47 missed shots.

For every keeper, there's a memory card full of blurry wings, bad light, and moments I was half a second too late.

That's the real work. The patience. The learning.

My desk isn't fancy. My gear has scratches. But every failed frame teaches me something about the next one.

If you're just starting out with wildlife photography or overlanding, know this: everyone misses more than they catch.

Stick with it.

Today I lost my best friend and strongest anchor. Diesel was more than what I can put into words and his passing leaves a broken part of me that no other service dog or pet will ever fill. He's fought my battles and held me together for more than a decade and a half and long past his time. Saying goodbye to him is something I will probably never fully come to terms with. He went out on his own terms though.

Port Elgin, Ontario is widely known for its sunsets. Especially on a clear day with no cloud cover. My trip was short this time and the weather was not very friendly but that's what I get for a late April trip. The seagulls were certainly happy to show off for me though. I look forward to making a summer trip and really capture the beauty this place has to offer.

Sorry everyone for the long hiatus over the fall and winter. Some plans I had for winter photo shoots ended up not being in the cards. I have some new plans for this spring so hang in there and I will keep you all updated. But expect some good things very soon.

So if anyone ever passes Pittsburgh and wants a good stroll there are some beautiful falls and rivers near there like this one in Kittanning, PA. This trail isn't very easy to find but when you do it takes you about a mile long stretch of this river with flowing rapids and small waterfalls.

State game areas are constantly viewed as a place only for the hunter in the chaos of hunting season, But there is a serene feeling about the place when you wander in on the off seasons. A sense of calm and peacefulness if you just stop and listen without all that city noise pollution and smog filled air. And one of the best feelings is finding a nice old shaded tree trunk and taking a seat at the base of it. Once you got your spot close your eyes for a little while, purge your mind of any thoughts and just listen.

Sometimes you just gotta go down the road. Even if you have no idea where it goes you just gotta do it. You'll never know where it will take you, what great things lie at the end or even what you'll see a long the way unless you do. It can't be a struggle but eventually you will get there. And that's what I want to show you along the road I chose.

Here's a few shots from my trip to the Poconos Mountains. The wildlife was surprisingly cooperative.
