During the summer and autumn months, I had the privilege of working as a photography expert and instructor with National Geographic Expeditions, Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic Student Expeditions. Over a seven week period, my journeys included Alaska (Anchorage, Denali and Seward), Scotland (Highlands and Caledonian Canal) and The Canadian Maritimes (Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Gros Morne National Park and Quebec). Above are some images made throughout the expeditions.
In the summer of 2015, I had the pleasure of leading a National Geographic Student Expedition to Iceland with M Jackson, a great friend and dedicated climate researcher. While hiking on Svinafellsjokull Glacier, we discovered a moulin, a shaft inside a glacier formed by running water. After descending into the glacier's depths, M looked up to capture its details and colors. The image I made of her at that moment is now on the cover of the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board Annual Report.
