I freaking love this human so much it bursts my heart open like an explosion of happy tears every time I see his face. Thank you @jamesqmartin for capturing this moment during what was my favorite @mountainfilm years of all times. Such incredible films created by a global community of storytellers. Still buzzing.
rain rain, please wash away the idiots in my government unwilling to create the climate policies that Earth needs to continue sustaining her incredible diversity of life. wash them away into the gutter.
thanks, me.
@aidanle and I don’t make plans. We show up in each others lives usually on a last minute whim, after a 7 hour drive through the night, sometimes with tears in our eyes, always there for each other as family. She came to Colorado last week so we could honor her fur baby Norman (@parkcitynorm) who passed unexpectedly. As we merged his ashes with the ashes of our burnt letters, we talked about how dogs are not individual souls but infinite-continuum spectrum souls that cycle forever through multiple puppy forms, but never leave us. Thank you Norman for your forever joy. Thank you Cowboy (new puppy, photo 1!) for carrying Norm’s spirit. Thank you cold mountain water for taking him, and for making us feel alive 🌸 @baloointhewild #sonyartisan

Baloo, did you have any good dreams?
“Yea. I dreamt all the humans took a vacation from Earth for a while so all us animals and bugs and trees could have a little space to chill.”

My dad was pretty young when he had me, I can’t imagine the ohh-shit feeling there must have been. But he has been there for me every step. From this early Halloween where he made me a “dead cow” costume and I went door to door, laying on my back with my feet in the air, to the recent Scotland Moto trip we took, him leading the way since tight road corners are scary and it rained the whole time. I feel super lucky to have a Dad in my life who got to walk me to the alter (after a shot of tequila in the parking lot), teach me how to honor and let free our loved ones who pass, and even be willing to learn something new from your kid. More adventures to come, I hope 💗 @toddrees57 @paulalsrees #gohawks #happyfathersday
All female founded & female run, I’m so proud of my @lunabaybooch sisters for their passion to the craft, their tenacity at the business, and their meticulous sourcing of Yerba Mate tea and fresh fruits and herbs sourced from local farmers and suppliers. Honored to be a part of their team! Cheers to many celebrations together ahead. #lunabaybooch #womenownedbusiness #absolutelydelicious @brigconnelly

A moment from our 2017 shoot in the Ruth Gorge, AK. The @sanctityofspace project continued to inspire us to document figures on a landscape, as Brad Washburn would. While tempting, I was too afraid to swim on this trip. Wasn’t sure what moulins would suddenly open and swallow us instantly ; )
If you are in SLC, I’m really missing @renan_ozturk and can you please go give him a squeeze for me?
He will be doing live q a’s today at

“There are ways in, journeys to the center of life, through time; through air, matter, dream and thought. The ways are not always mapped or charted, but sometimes being lost, if there is such a thing, is the sweetest place to be. Always, in this search, a person might find that she is already there, at the center of the world. It may be a broken world, but it is glorious nonetheless.” – Linda Hogan

The tree has entered my hands,
The sap has ascended my arms,
The tree has grown in my breast –
Downward,
The branches grow out of me, like arms.
Tree you are,
Moss you are,
You are violets with wind above them.
A child – so high – you are,
And all this is folly to the world.
[A Girl, Poem by Ezra Pound] #sonyartisan

Dysphania Militaris, a moth we saw in Myanmar in 2014 during the @natgeo #downtonothingfilm project. I’ve wondered for a while why the species name is “militaris”, and read this week about the fungus Cordyceps Militaris which is “a fungus that makes its way deeper into its hosts body, eventually taking over and controlling the insect’s behavior.” These moths don’t seem much like a military force to me. Does anyone who studies moths or scientific naming know why? #thisismybrainonnature [shot on @sonyalpha #A7r, #sonyartisan]
Ideas around death and dying live more in my immediate senses of life and less in my head. Which is why it’s kinda hard to talk about even though I have always had an obsession since childhood with darkness, chaos and catastrophe. On his podcast @yergoing2die, my sweet friend Ned explores our experiences and understanding of death with humor and beauty, through conversations with artists and activists, writers and wanderers. My chat with Ned is live now on the podcast! Link in profile. #thisismybrainonnature #thisismybrainondeath #slowshutter #sonyartisan
CONGRATULATIONS! To the late and dearest friend @winfredrembert, his wife and family, and co-writer Erin I. Kelly for this years Pulitzer Prize in Biography! Vivid, confrontational, revelatory, and complex, his story “Chasing Me to My Grave” is a searing memoir in prose and painted leather that celebrates Black life and summons readers to confront painful and urgent realities at the heart of American history and society. Getting to know Winfred personally over many years in the making of #AshestoAshes film opened my heart with every joyous visit and StarWars porch reenactment. Please read #ChasingMeToMyGrave and check out the film we made with Winfred and Dr. Shirley Jackson Whitaker on @newyorkermag docs and @ajwitness. So much love to you Winfred!!!! The world is hearing your story in big and beautiful ways, just as you hoped. @renan_ozturk @xtr @dmagpr @expedition.studios
A few weeks ago a group of friends very dear to my heart completed a little mission, skiing a route across a part of the interior highlands of Iceland. It was cold, and adventurous, and call for celebration when everyone crossed the finish line. Cheers to @tincupwhiskey for being a part of that celebration. Story and film to come soon of this 10 year journey!
