  • The country of Myanmar will always hold a special place in my heart. So much history, culture and beauty can be found there! Unfortunately I haven't been back since 2018 because of the military junta that took over their government. I hope I can return again sometime soon!

  • The Sheik Zayed Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is easily one of my favorite mosques in the world. Catching it at sunset over this reflection pool is the way to go! Taken with the Pixel 7 Pro #teampixel
  • Early morning sunrise along Diamond Beach in Iceland doesn't always work out weather wise, but when the light is right, it is one of the most magical spots in the country! Sony a7R II w/ 16-35 f/4 #sonyambassador

  • Dreaming of Patagonia! Is it on your bucket list?
  • One of the things I love about snakes is the fact that the same species can often be found in multiple different color variations (known as morphs). If you remember the world's most beautiful snake, the blue Trimeresuris insularis I shared a few months back...this is the Green morph of the same species. Coincidentally, it can also be found in a yellow color variation. All three can only be found on three remote islands in Komodo National Park in Indonesia. Be sure to swipe left to see all of the details in this shot! Sony a1 w/ 90mm f/2.8 macro #sonyambassador #sonyalpha #snakesofinstagram #snakelover #snakesofig #snakesofinsta
  • It's never too early to start your week off with a little Puffin love! Definitely one of the cutest birds on the planet! Sony a1 w/ 200-600 f/5.6-6.3 1/640th | f/9 | ISO 200 #sonyambassador #sonyalpha
  • The Great Lakes Bush Viper (Atheris nitschei) is a gorgeous snake found in Central & East Africa. They generally are found in wetlands but also call places like the Rwenzori Mountains in Uganda home, where I found this beautiful species! While their venom is highly toxic, which can cause hemorrhaging and severe bleeding, they are not a threat to humans. Like most snakes, they should be left alone. No snake deserves to die just because it found itself in a location that you feel it shouldn't be. Snakes are VITAL to the ecosystems they are found in!

  • Any guesses on which animal this is?One of the things I love the most about spending so much time in Africa over the past decade is that I have been pushed to find new and creative ways to document and photograph the amazing creatures that call this continent home. If you have ever been on Safari, you know the challenges of the wildlife turning around just when you want to photograph them...so I decided to run with it and get creative. This is the first of a larger series of posts I will be making over the coming weeks showcasing this new creative endeavor and to be honest...it was so much fun trying to get the perfect shots for this series!
