Photography

Photography from the Grand Canyon, Egypt, London, museums, archaeological sites, rivers, deserts, wildlife, and whatever else was worth stopping for.

Photography grew naturally out of guiding and travel. I was already standing in remarkable places and teaching about what I saw, so carrying a camera became another way of recording the landscape, object, moment, or detail that made the place memorable.

Over the years, a number of these photographs have found their way into books, classrooms, websites, films, and other projects. I mostly keep the archive public because I like seeing the images be useful beyond the moment when I took them.

RECENT PHOTOGRAPHY

Recent Photography

A selection of recent images from the places I work, travel, teach, and explore — from Grand Canyon river corridors and desert landscapes to museums, archaeological sites, wildlife, architecture, and the small details that catch my attention along the way.
