This place is incredible
The Blue Heron Bridge is one of the few places I’ve experienced that actually lives up to the hype. Every person who dives in Southern Florida knows about this place. High traffic at a dive spot generally doesn’t help a place retain its beauty. In my own diving, I go to great lengths to avoid people...
Big, cold drops of rain pelted us as we drove the boat towards an island to get some bait. I could tell from the skeptical faces of my fishing companion, they were not convinced it was a good idea to be out on the Indian River in bad weather, and an even worse idea to be going 20 miles...
The Land of Smiles
Thailand delivers on this promise. It is also the land of fantastic food. Delicious vittles are being cooked (by the smiling people) most anywhere you go. Even now, as I write this, I am making my plans on where to eat tonight. I'm think about another round of Thai-TakoYaki and Mango Sticky Rice, but there really...
The alarm went off sharply at 06:00, waking me from a wonderful dream. It was a dream where I traveled around in a camper van I built while photographing some of America’s most impressive critters. Just kidding, it was no dream at all! My alarm woke me right into that great life I was living, and I...
About 4 years ago, I met two girls from Japan who were studying abroad in Florida. The three of us took my boat out, went fishing, and even had a sushi dinner on the day I speared a nice cobia. When they left, we said our goodbyes and I didn’t think I’d ever see either of them again. This...
An overcast day greeted me as I jogged along the winding road towards the forest trails in a tiny town called, Morbach. Situated on Southwestern side of Germany it is a beautiful, but lesser known area. When my German friends hear my whereabouts, they generally ask, "where is that?" The charm of the place really is in the feel...
Few things bring people together faster than living in a car. The conversation goes like this.
Person 1: “Where you do live?”
Person 2: “I live in my car.”
Person 1: “That’s great! You wanna drink some beer and go climbing later?”
Person 2: “Sweet! Yeah. I’ve got some green too, so we are all set.”
I had shivered myself to sleep for the past several nights. Miles from anything and ensconced in the tall pines camp had been cold and snowy. My efforts to photograph the elk migration in the Grand Teton National Park had gone well. In fact, it had gone so well, I was on the hunt for some other...
Florida is not normally associated with a serious paragliding destination, but my experience in 2015 changed all of that. Powered paragliding became an obsession for me early in the year, and
the idea of riding the rising columns of air had always seemed exciting. The only problem was, everyone I talked to about my great plans to soar on the afternoon...
