Yesterday marked the 1 year anniversary of #thruhiking the #appalachiantrail from #georgiatomaine. In the year since, I've been working on a book about it all. 2,200 miles, 250 rolls of @ilfordphoto.com 35mm film. You can support the completion of the project here: www.patreon.com/user?u=10994...

Tom Petty left this earthly realm eight years ago this week.

Nine years ago I had the oppertunity to photograph Tom with his old band Mudcrutch. A year later, Tom tragically passed away. Forever loved and missed, though his legacy will live forever.

2025 has cleanly found me in my era of photographing musicians floating through the boundlessness of knock out white infinity walls.

New work for Andrew Leahey! These are singles to the upcoming record, so I'll share the album cover soon. It's a great record, and I'm so glad I got to photograph for it.

Gene Espy holds the title as the 2nd known person to have ever hiked the entire Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine, doing so in 1951 at the age of 24. He passed away Aug 22nd at 98 years old. I photographed Gene for my upcoming photo book, American Pilgrims

Thank you!! 🙏

This is great! I just did a shoot w/ The Wood Bros. Wonderful people and musicians. Also so cool that your album is called Hundred Mile Wilderness. I had quite the experience of bad cold + rain there as I approached Mt Katahdin on my AT thru hike. It's amazing though. Stoked to hear the record!

Yes! And The Foto App as well. I loved instagram but I'm also concerned about Meta's ongoing use of AI to crawl profiles and steal from our work. That's a pretty big reason I left, because I think it's going to get worse over there too.

Self Portrait after hiking for 7 months and 2,200 miles | #mtkatahdin , Maine | October 2024 | 80 portraits + interviews, and 250 rolls of @ilfordphoto.com film. Now, to make the fine art photo book I've spent years thinking about.
