The rivers in Iceland look like veins flowing through the landscape The first time I saw photos of the rivers in Iceland when shot from an aerial perspective it changed the way I viewed landscapes, the world actually. I didn't know what I was looking at. Was it something large? Was it something tiny? No idea, but it was captivating, and I couldn't look away. I started digging into how these images were made. At the time, there weren’t many people doing it. Eventually I learn

3 schooners sailing in Scoresby Sound Greenland People have often asked me what it was like to live on a schooner at what seemed to be the edge of the world, off the grid, with the closest village hundreds of miles away. It was more than just a trip, it was a rare moment of total immersion , and it was the closest I've ever come to feeling at one with the planet. . The isolation, the freedom from distractions, and the majesty of the landscape made me feel insignificant, but

Schooner Opal in front of the Sun Glacier in Scoresby Sound I had been thinking about this trip for years. Ever since I saw a photograph of a wooden schooner sailing in the fjords of Scoresby Sound, I knew I had to go. Ever since I saw a photograph of a wooden schooner sailing in the fjords of Scoresby Sound, I knew I had to g o. At the time I didn’t even know it was Scoresby Sound — I had to search to find the location — but it felt like the next step. Not another Iceland tr

Last updated: March 2026 I’ve been to Iceland seven times.The first time I went, I thought I was going to photograph waterfalls. I didn’t realize I was going to learn how to see. Iceland is one of the few places in the world where almost every hour of driving reveals something photographable. But that also creates a problem: there is too much . When photographers ask me where they should go, they usually expect a short list. The truth is, there isn’t one — but there are loca

Before I even launched the drone, I could hear my "subject." It was punching against Kinfish's hull in what sounded like some kind of arctic morse code. The ship wasn't so much sailing as it was negotiating with the ice for safe passage. But the ice is indifferent, cold, and unmoved by the boat and its passengers presence. Nevertheless, Kinfish soldiered on steadfast against the blows against her metal hull delivered by an uncaring and unrelenting Arctic Ocean. I intended to

I'm sure you've read or had read to you books by Dr Seuss, right? Well, I went to a place that felt like it was right out of once of his books, specifically Oh The Places You'll Go. Let me begin by saying that I've never seen a place like this. No place I've been looks anything like it, and it's located right here in America . The Bentonite Hills in southern Utah look like someone took a giant paintbrush and painted big circular patterns on the hills in different colors. Then

I've wanted to visit Maelifell, also know as the big green mountain in Iceland , for years. It's striking in all the photos I've seen of it... imagine brilliant solid green pyramid/cone jutting out of a black sand plain that stretches for miles in all directions, and it's standing as a sentinel guard to the Myrdalsjokull glacier behind it. The problem is getting to the dang thing. Iceland has many beautiful and diverse landscapes all contained on a relatively small location c
