Or two: TEQUILA TIME! We all did what we had to do to get through 2020 & I chose to start my online happy hour with all of you. First episode was April 9th and it made the year much more bearable. I thank everyone who tuned in. After a break this month I will be back on February 2nd with co-host Parimal Deshpande.
While Tequila Time is an entertaining romp, I also teamed up with executive producer Parimal on a more ambitious project, Earth Is Our Witness. As photographers, our opportunity and distinction lies with the ability to tell powerful stories of interconnectedness. So far we have had conversations with over twenty photographers around the world, and we kicked off 2021 with Wade Davis!
Enjoy the photos – and keep tuning in to Tequila Time & Earth Is Our Witness in 2021!
We have joined Washington Wild and 108 organizations, Tribes, and elected officials to urge the Canadian Government to stop Imperial Metals from mining the Skagit River headwaters.
The iconic Skagit River begins in British Columbia, flows down through the North Cascades and Mt. Baker Snoqualmie National Forest, eventually ending in the Puget Sound.
Along the way, the river provides critical habitat for grizzly bears, bull trout, spotted owls, and the largest populations of threatened steelhead and Chinook salmon. The fish, in turn, provide food to Orcas, and are central to many Native communities’ cultures and treaty rights.
Puget sound is right outside my window, and frequently I shoot in the western corridor between BC and Seattle – I’m distinctly aware of the ecosystem in question. Decisions made by our neighbors to the north affect us downstream. Moving forward with mining is a direct threat to one of our state’s most beloved natural resources. #ProtectSkagit!

I am thrilled to join some of the world’s most renowned photographers in the new Art for Wildlife Rangers sale hosted by Global Wildlife Conservation and administered by Tusk Trust. Rangers protect 30% of the planet, and are critical to helping us address the twin crises of climate change and species extinctions.
But the pandemic has been devastating for rangers in Africa. Their salaries have drastically been cut and many of them have been furloughed, leaving wildlife and local communities vulnerable and unprotected.
Together with more than twenty leading photographers, I am selling prints to support ranger teams in Africa that have been most severely hit. 100% of proceeds will be contributed to the Ranger Fund to support rangers on the ground, providing a lifeline to their communities as well as iconic wildlife. All print sales will be matched by the Scheinberg Relief Fund to double your generous contribution.
