  • Yesterday, we bid farewell to Jane Goodall, a truly remarkable woman whose legacy extends far beyond science. This pioneering scientist, anthropologist, and unwavering animal rights activist dedicated her entire life to the natural world. Her infectious passion was the spark that ignited the interest in Chimpanzees and Gorillas for so many, including myself. In her memory, let us fiercely cling to the incredible HOPE she shared with the world, a hope that is needed now more than ever. Jane, your light will be deeply missed. This reel is made up of older footage of Jane, the audio from one of her excellent talks in NYC, and a mixture of videos and still images that I took of wild chimpanzees in East Africa over the years. #JaneGoodall
  • This morning Sony announced the brand new 100mm f/2.8 GM Macro lens. I have been using this lens for close to two weeks now and I am super impressed with it for macro wildlife photography. It will absolutely be replacing my 90mm Macro! Here are a few highlights... - First GM macro from Sony with insane optical quality - Has a native macro magnification of 1.4x - Works with both the 1.4 & 2x TC to expand your magnification options - Significantly faster AF because of the newer 4x liner Motors vs the 90mm - Kept the slide clutch for M/AF over-ride Let me know of any questions you might have! #sonyambassador #sonyartisan
  • The Gaboon Bush Viper (Bits Gabonica) is a beautiful and fascinating venomous snake found in East Africa. Its massive head compared to other vipers is very iconic and important as it allows this viper to have the longest fangs of any viper on the planet (up to two inches in length). Snakes are vital to the ecosystems they inhabit. They deserve your respect more then your fear. Don't kill snakes! Be sure to swipe to the left to see the behind the scenes photo of this amazing encounter!

  • The Resplendent Quetzal is one of the most beautiful birds on the planet. I spent the last few days photographing multiple nesting pairs of Quetzals in the Cloud Forests of Costa Rica.

  • It is nearly impossible not to fall in love with Patagonia once you have experienced it. The weather can certainly be rough, but the light at the end of the tunnel is often spectacular when the weather ends up cooperating. Sony a1 w/ 24-70 f/2.8 GM II #sonyalpha #sonyambassador
  • The Patagonian mountain range of the Southern Andes is easily one of the most beautiful and awe inspiring destinations on the planet. Torres del Paine National Park in particular is beyond incredible! Sony a7R V w/ 70-200 f/2.8 GM II #sonyalpha #sonyambassador #igreels #reelsinstagram #reelitfeelit #landscapephotography
  • The Bengal Tiger is the most beautiful big cat in the world. There is something so special and different about them when compared to lions, leopards or jaguars. Have you seen one in the wild before? Sony a1 II w/ 300mm f/2.8GM or 600mm f/4 GM #sonyalpha #sonyambassador #wildlifephotography #indiawildlife
  • Smartphones are pretty powerful these days but there is no substitute for having the right camera gear with you when on Safari... especially when you come across an incredible 🐆 in the wild! Sony a1 w/600mm f/4 GM #sonyalpha #sonyambassador #wildlifephotography #leopard
  • It is almost Quetzal season down in Costa Rica! What a truly amazing bird! Sony a9 II / 400mm f/2.8 GM w/ 2x TC
