Many of the most deeply moving experiences I’ve had have been while alone in remote wilderness with a camera. I hope these pages on my website give some insight into this and offer a little bit of inspiration to seek your own meaningful experiences, whether or not nature or photography are involved. While learning photography can be a nearly endless pursuit, the single best piece of advice I could give is to simply fill the frame with what you like. Everything else is secondary, in my opinion. I've written about some of these secondary things here and here. I offer 1-on-1 mentoring sessions where I'll teach you everything I know about creating compelling images.
I have an academic background in neuroscience and philosophy. I studied both at Claremont McKenna College and conducted research in neuroscience labs at Stanford and UCSF. Displeased with certain aspects of the track I was on, I left my job at Stanford in early 2022 to try my best to actually embody what matters most to me. I've been living in the wilderness ever since, spending much of my time in the Eastern Sierra mountains of California interspersed with big adventures elsewhere.
