Happy Mother’s Day to my beautiful wife dana - from the moment we found out, to that incredible day we witnessed our little boy enter the world, our lives were forever changed. You are a natural, a loving and caring mom and our son is the luckiest little boy on earth. Happy Mother’s Day ♥️
The Swordsman ::
During a paleontology assignment for @natgeo in Nijer’s Sahara desert, we worked in the merciless heat day after day, with temps reaching 135 Fahrenheit in the afternoons. On one of those scorching afternoons, we were visited by this Tuareg man here, alongside his wandering companion. They arrived at our camp on camelback in search of water, the feeling felt was as if you’d traveled back in time, in a reminder that there are places in the world that are still truly wild. Abundantly supplied, we happily obliged his request, helping him fill numerous jugs he had in tow. Water is incredibly precious here, and survival in the Sahara hinges on knowledge passed down over centuries, where wells, routes, and weather are read like maps in the mind. Getting permission to take these photos was an exercise in pantomime and friendly smiles, thankfully both men were kind enough to oblige me.
Often called the “blue people” for the indigo dyes that stain their skin, the Tuareg have long navigated this unforgiving landscape, where water is currency, distance is measured in days, and resilience is simply just a way of life.

Gold-ringed Tanager — a species that, paradoxically, found refuge during Colombia’s internal conflict.

I love street photography, it’s the perfect catalyst to getting out for long walks and really taking in a city. These photos here are from a few years back during a short trip to Munich and the nearby Austrian alps.
