Taken at a Bedouin campground in a small village in the West Bank, Masafar Yatta region, We had spent the day on a tour of nearby villages learning about the lives of the people out here. It is a harsh environment, most people get by herding goats, with not a lot of land to farm. It was sundown and windy as hell but the coffee was fantastic.

Taken at a campground near the Negev desert in the south of Israel, The night was so warm you didn’t need a sleeping bag. I didn’t add the stars in post; they were there just like this.

At a campground in the south of Israel, a few kilometers from the border with Gaza to the west. The sun was setting and silhouetted these palms beautifully. I ran out to get this picture and snapped it out of breath.

Hiking by the Mediterranean near Haifa, IL. There is a giant cave in the cliffside called the Giant’s Fingers.

Israel. We camped out on a mountain right underneath this giant radio tower. The next morning we watched the sun rise over the whole valley,

The Desolation Wilderness in northern Oregon. The name definitely fits. It snowed a few mornings, and getting out of the sleeping bag was about the hardest thing to do.

Another shot from the Desolation Wilderness. I was exploring a clearing and the sun was setting and man what a moment.

Death Valley, CA. Woke up at 4am to watch the sunrise and it’s still the greatest I’ve ever seen, Hiked out on a bluff in the pitch black and took it all in. The hills light up in blues, purples, and oranges agains the backdrop of this giant sky.
