It was a falling tide when we pulled up to the islands, and it didn’t look like the Sierra De would make it over the shallow sandbar entrance. But we’d never seen a prettier anchorage, and this, after all, was what it was all about. So we pushed forward, cautiously, watching the depth as we inched through the narrow channel.

I’ll never forget looking around the boat once we knew we were in the clear. Not many words were said, just big smiles, all of us quietly realizing we might’ve just found what we’d been searching for.

Thinking a few frames from this day deserve a spot in the print shop — what do you think?
Glassy Days x Everglades National Park

It doesn’t matter where I go, there truly is nowhere else like the Everglades. Give me a few days in the bay with slicked off conditions like the ones documented here and I will be a happy man.

And I’m pretty sure I can vouch for my buddy Magnus here (and many others) in thinking that he likely feels the same way 🤙🏼

This is the kind of day I used to daydream about as a kid. This place is pretty special, and it’s wild to think it now holds a consistent space in my life.

For those who care and don’t already know, I recently made the move to Hawaii full-time. I still love the Keys—and I’ll be back one day—but I’ve been craving a change of scenery for a while now. I’ll be working on catamarans while pursuing my captain’s license, and doing photography on the side. Figured if AI’s coming for all our jobs, I might as well learn how to live on a boat.

Right now, I’m just trying to keep life simple, call my mom as often as I can, stop overthinking everything, and enjoying the heck out of it all.

As always, thanks for all of your continued support ✌🏽
The Mahi of Magdalena Bay.
Easily one of the most incredible wildlife experiences of my life. I went down there a few years ago to work on an episode for and found a moment to snap some photos amid the underwater chaos. Grateful a few of them came out.

Mahi have been my favorite fish since I was a kid, spending countless hours trolling offshore for them with my family. But seeing them like this—thousands of them, all 20+ pounds, frenzied and feeding like a school of piranhas was next level. And that’s not even counting the striped marlin, sea lions, birds and whales that were part of this wild place.

This experience set an impossibly high standard and opened my eyes to what healthy fisheries should look like.
This will forever be the baseline I refer back to.
Daria. What to say about this human… For starters, she’s a ridiculously talented snowboarder who spends most of her year chasing snowy scenes that I can hardly relate to. Our paths crossed last summer when she, like me, decided to pursue a season of summer surf in the Mentawai Islands.

We met at the crack of dawn in the port city of Padang, squeezed into the bench seat of a truck destined for the Mentawai fast ferry terminal, and over the next three weeks, we traded waves, music, and laughs in one of the most wave-rich destinations in the world. Hard not become friends after that.

It was incredible watching her progress, day after day, I could see her dialing in her skills as she read the lineups, often pushing herself into better waves and learning how to navigate the sometimes crowded conditions. Her commitment to progression was inspiring, a good reminder of why I was out there myself.

The first shot in this carousel also happens to be one of my favorites from the season. The way the light hits, the moment, it just captures the energy of that session so well.

She recently released a film with the wizard maassen, and if snowboarding, surfing and art, are your thing, I can’t recommend it enough.
This is my friend Sale with his personal best Mū (bigeye emperor)—his favorite fish and one of the most cherished in Hawaii for its eating quality. and I met Sale on my second night on Maui over a game of pool at a local karaoke bar, and became fast friends due to our shared love of the outdoors and tequila shots. His enthusiasm for life is contagious, and he’s been generous enough to show us around the island he’s called home, teaching us a few things along the way.

This was one of those days—no real plan, we just tossed all of our gear in the truck and drove until we found something worth exploring. We ended up at a beach that looked worthy of a dive, and about an hour in, he shot this Mū which came loose from the shaft. A couple minutes later, thinking it was gone for good, he spotted it floating on the surface, resulting in the reaction documented here.
First and foremost, it’s been an absolute pleasure sharing the work from my Dry Tortugas book project recently. I can’t thank everyone enough who’s shown up in support! Seriously, it’s been surreal to see a passion project like this come to life, and hearing your enthusiasm while sharing stories about the Dry Tortugas and the Florida Keys has meant the world to me.

So, thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Truly. This has been more fun and fulfilling than I ever could’ve imagined.

Secondly, I’m running a Black Friday sale on my website for all available prints and the book. If you haven’t had a chance to grab something yet, now’s the perfect time! The sale runs through this weekend only and can be accessed via the link in my bio or by visiting:

If there’s a photo you don’t see on the site that you’d like, just let me know, and I’ll add it for you.

Thanks again!

A month of sailing through the Bahamas, condensed into one minute. It hardly seems fair to the richness of the experience. Few places in the world can match the diversity of activities these islands offer – from surfing and fishing to free diving and sunset cocktails. If it weren’t for the challenges of reaching these remote spots and the costs of staying long-term, I’d likely never set sail elsewhere.

But such is life; it demands we replenish our bank accounts for the next adventure, which promises to be equally captivating, albeit in a more distant locale.
Here’s a peek into some of my favorite shots over the past 10 years.

Almost every photo here was captured in South Florida, spanning from Miami Beach to the Dry Tortugas and various spots in between. The final photo was taken in Maine, featuring my good friends and during the first week I ever had a camera. It holds a special place for me as one of the first photos I was truly proud of. Each image represents simple yet significant moments in my photographic journey, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
