Just before the virus appeared, @kendrickcallaway and I took a last minute trip to Hawaii to capture some images and climb some mountains. Now seems like the perfect time to take ya'll on a mini-vacation! Tour Hawaii in 4-minutes with us.... video link in bio!

Your daily virtual adventure: a helicopter ride above Kauai. Doors off. Enjoy! 🌤

I'm sharing this image of the Grand Canyon so you can virtually enjoy the park. Please don't go there right now! While it's tempting to get out in nature, there are better, more isolated places than the National Parks. Our friends who live and work there have said the increased visitors have been straining the community. They are unable to socially distance, and the small grocery stores can't support the people. But if you'd like to see the Canyon I can give you your daily dose here!

Here's another vision of Hawaii for your quarantined pleasure! This waterfall is typically viewed from the road on a bridge above, but Kendrick and I managed to find our way down to the base. We were so close to the base of the falls that it was difficult to get a shot without the mist covering the lens. The rocks were so slippery all I could worry about was not drowning the camera!
.
Shot details:
This is a "shorty" HDR Pano. 2 vertical, bracketed images (6 shots total) on the @nikonusa Z7 at 24mm. I carried the @3leggedthing Winston down which also served as a walking stick in the slippery water! I used a @bwfilter Polarizer. We took the @thinktankphoto Backlight 36L.

This is a good reminder to appreciate all that we have. Not just in times of crisis, but every single day. A wispy cloud, the big dipper, and a campfire with amazing friends.
.
This was a 2 image composite (foreground & stars) shot on the @nikonusa Z7 and my @3leggedthing Billy. The cloud wasn't even visible to the naked eye, but with a long exposure it was very dramatic. I especially like the Big Dipper's cameo over our two little @nucamprv babies✨✨

Take a virtual journey to this spectacular waterfall in Hawaii with us! It was a short but peaceful hike through a bamboo forest, and when you emerge, you get to see this tall beauty with a rainbow at the base. 🌈

A life without adventure is no kind of life for me.

For each of the last 5 years I have compiled a video summarizing the best parts of my year. Usually, I get this video out by January, but I've been busy this year. However, with everything that is going on with this pandemic right now, perhaps this is the perfect time to release the video. Even if you don't watch the entire thing, let it play and enjoy the music! Click on the link in my bio for a few minutes of peace.

The virus is affecting the world in so many ways: some are suffering in health, and many of those who are healthy are still suffering in their livelihood and families. I worry about the coming months - not whether I'll survive, but the effect it will have on my business. And then, I remember that I am grateful I am one of those only fearing for my business and not for my life. However this situation is affecting you - perhaps this image will bring you a moment of peace, and an introspective thought for the things you are grateful for.

This is the view from the toilets at a campground in the Grand Canyon. Have to wait in line? No problem! How's your potty view?
