Shooting stars streak across the night sky during the height of the Perseid meteor shower. The otherworldly bentonite clay formations of Nevada’s Cathedral Gorge State Park were the perfect complement to the shooting stars and the colorful nebulae of the Milky Way galaxy.

A fresh dusting of snow graces the jagged spires of the Rockwall as the larch trees below Numa Pass turn a beautiful golden color and perfectly complement the dark mountains and sky on a moody morning in British Columbia’s Kootenay National Park.

Bubbles trapped in the frozen surface of a pond displayed incredible aqua and magenta iridescence when viewed at just the right angle.

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.
