There is no dark side of the moon really. Solar Eclipse, India, 21/06/2020.
October 2019. Hiking “The Narrows”—the narrowest section of #Zion Canyon, in #Utah. With thousand foot walls all around us, we waded through this river for hours, often times only 20 feet wide—a great way to kickstart the morn
This is usually the time of year I set off for my expeditions. Since my only travels this summer will be endless loops to the fridge and back, I shall seek validation by posting from the past, for the likes. Pictured here, @lisahornak and I leading a
Silver linings. The hazy photo above was taken on December 7th, 2019, while the clear one below was taken on March 22nd, 2020–both showing the Lotus Temple in New Delhi. A lot has been covered on air pollution dramatically improving across the
I was in #Utah last year on a scouting/editorial trip with @visitutah for @theoutdoorjournal and @ibexexpeditions. I’d visited several times before, having studied in nearby #Colorado. This time, I delved deeper into the parks, on a solo missio
Mount Cook Village, Mount Cook National Park, Southern Alps, New Zealand. Frosty night photography sessions are always fun. I couldn’t feel my fingers and the headlights of cars and headlamps of people kept messing with my shots. Much to the am
Reminding them about the importance of fleeting light and how photographers will inconvenience themselves to get the shot, we woke our students up super early to hike up to the mighty #Tasman Glacier. Halfway up the trail, and not very bright-eyed an
The mountains of New Zealand are sacred. The Māori have had a spiritual connection with them for hundreds of years, naming them after their ancestors and tribe leaders. This special relationship with the land—the need to protect and conserve, h
We took a chopper to the #Tasman Glacier with legendary outfitter, Southern Alps Guiding. Our guides for the day were local legends, Charlie and Ant. We strapped on crampons, grabbed our ice axes, hiked on the mighty Tasman, and explored emerald-blue
With a backdrop of the Southern New Zealand Alps, this is the famously photographed #Wanaka tree. We spent two days in Wanaka, skiing at @trebleconenz, with views of this lake. Also, parts of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit were filmed here. #natgeo
Lake Matheson is a popular spot for reflection views of Aoraki or Mt. Cook—New Zealand’s highest mountain. Situated near Fox Glacier, the lake was formed around 14,000 year ago by glaciation. Ain’t that neat? #natgeostudentexpeditio
#Morocco is decent, I guess. We hiked six hours to the small, isolated village of #Taghia. A climber’s paradise, they call it the #Yosemite of North Africa. With no access to telephone lines, internet, or cars, we were far removed from civilisa
Back in #Morocco, leading another great program for @natgeoexpeditions. Stoked to be in the Atlas Mountains working with the Atlas Cultural Foundation. A great organisation founded by @thenorthface athlete @kephoto and his wife @cloeerickson, ACF hel

A couple of Sambar (deer native to a few parts of Asia), staring at us, staring at them, at the Horton Plains National Park in the central highlands of Sri Lanka. Sambar have been listed as vulnerable by the #IUCN, or likely to become endangered. Sin
I swear he asked me to help him with his headshot portfolio. Not lion about it. #WorldAnimalDay #natgeostudentexpeditions @natgeoexpeditions
The lonely giraffe walks home alone at night. #natgeostudentexpeditions @natgeoexpeditions @roam #roam247
Starry Namibian nights at the @ongavalodge. This is their tented camp, situated within a protected reserve and right next to a waterhole. Due to all the free roaming animals, you can’t walk back to your tent alone at night. Also, they have an o
Nobody puts baby in a corner (note the baby elephant in the bottom right corner). Desert elephants in Damaraland are pretty neat. #neature
