“Follow the Leader” selected as Second Prize winner in 2020 Appalachian Mountain Club Photo Contest

Exciting news! One of our photos, “Follow the Leader,” was selected as the Second Prize winner in the Lands, Waters and Wildlife category in the 2020 AMC Photo Contest. This photo will be featured in the Spring issue of AMC Outdoors magazine, and can also be found online.

Taken while on a trip to Maine’s Machias Seal Island, home to the largest puffin colony on the coast of Maine, “Follow the Leader” is one of several photos of these majestic animals that I was able to capture last June. More puffin photos and images of coastal Maine can be found in the New England gallery of our website.

Interested in learning more about experiencing and photographing the puffins of Machias Seal Island? Stay tuned for a blog post on the topic in the near future!

There is no place that I feel more alive, more connected to what is important, than the wilderness. Whether an icy mountain summit, a misty forest, or a rocky coastline, the wild places of the world feel like home to me. While my love for the outdoors precedes my passion for photography, I now could not imagine having one without the other. Add a car to the equation, and the result for me is the feeling of absolute freedom, where the possibilities are limited only by my imagination and willpower.
