Happy Turkey (or Salmon) Day!

As this year winds down, I want to take a moment to thank you for being part of my extended photographic family. Whether you’ve joined me in the field, collected a book or print, or simply followed along online, it’s our customers, clients and friends that allow me to spend my life doing what I love most: exploring the world, telling stories with a camera, and sharing the beauty of this planet with others. I’m incredibly grateful, and I wish you and your loved ones a warm and peaceful holiday season, and an inspiring year ahead filled with new images, ideas, and creative endeavors.

I’ll be skipping the traditional turkey this year in favor of salmon at a small family gathering here at home; it seemed fitting for a nature enthusiast from the Pacific Northwest. As I look ahead, I’m already excited for the journeys to come, including returning to Katmai, Alaska in 2026 to spend time with the bears like the one featured in the photo for this post. I am happy to have a small break to reflect on everything that I’ve experienced so far this year but I’m also looking forward to one of my busiest years of international travel.

Until then, thank you again from myself and my staff for your support, and here’s to another year of photography, exploration, and creativity!
