NATIONAL PARKS & MONUMENTS
Some of my most humbling experiences have occurred in national parks. Whether on the edge of the Grand Canyon, backpacking through The Narrows with 35 pounds of gear, or standing beneath the Milky Way's galactic core, I stand in awe of nature. These images celebrate America's most protected landscapes, capturing moments of connection between earth and sky, water and stone, creator and creation.
