Overlanding the PanAmerican highway in our Landcruiser.
  • Instagram caption: Some sunrises you never forget. . . . Realistic caption: It took a day of research, 1 day of flying, 1 day of driving, and 2 days of shooting to get this shot. The first day we visited, there were hundreds of people in the hot springs, so we came back the next morning at 5am. I walked nearly every pool edge eyeing the angles, testing out wide, ultra-wide, zoomed in, drone perspectives... I have over 1000 shots from an hour period where we had it mostly to ourselves. Here are two shots that I’ve edited a handful of times. I’m not confident with em, because I don’t think they do the place justice. But hey, I put all that work in, so might as well put it out there.

  • Went with the GoPro ultrawide on this one to try to incorporate the massive scale of the canyon with the waterfall. Minutes before sunrise a few days ago with a sleepy @jess.wandering .

  • This ones for all the bookworms out there. We found a cool tree, with a natural room inside its trunk to chill in and watch sunset from. 📚 👧🏻@jess.wandering 50mm | f1.8 | iso1600 | 1/10sec

  • 19 miles from the nearest road, we made it to paddle boarding paradise. This spot’s been on my list for a few years now... just never wanted to fully commit to carrying a paddle board down that far. In the end, the shots that require the most effort are always my most cherished. Quality time in the desert w/ @joepickslv @jess.wandering @trail @wildbonde @coastalkells
