7. Decade you wish you could visit?
the 80′s… I was too young to properly enjoy it the first time.
8. A place you’ve visited that was almost too beautiful to capture?
The north… Alaska, the Yukon, northern Scandinavia etc… pictures and film can never capture the amazing north country.
9. Describe your pre-work ritual:
Usually hiking for miles up a mountain, along a windswept beach, or through a dripping rain forest.
10. An image you’ve created that is nearest and dearest to you:
This film: https://vimeo.com/44073212. These images were captured during many trips up and down the west coast of North America. Many adventures and great memories behind each shot.
