Arctic Tundra
You know the opening scenes in those epic adventure films? Where the movie fades up from black revealing these captivatingly beautiful, yet incredible daunting mountains that quite literally takes your breath away. Looking below seeing small clouds bow to the summits like giant mythical guardians and the wind singing through the valley’s like a natural orchestra. It’s something you can never truly imagine experiencing or seeing in person.
Being a small town Ohio kid, it never really crossed my mind to wonder what was truly out there to explore. When I first started traveling fully time just three years ago I found my trips turning into journeys and my journey’s turning into full scale expeditions. If you were to tell me as I sat in my desk at school that there would come a day that I would get to see and photograph these giant guardians I would have raised my eyebrow with a very confused look on my face. Getting to literally live out those opening scenes in the movies I have spent my life growing up watching is a feeling that words really can’t accurately put into perspective of what it felt like. When I look at this image, I can feel myself breathing in that mountain air. Hearing the wind sing through the valleys and see these clouds dance around the mountains.
This most recent trip to the arctic I not only feel incredibly blessed that I was able to have this opportunity, especially sharing it with my newly found good friend David. But, all of the positive feedback from these images I was able to bring home from this trip truly makes me feel like I am leaving an impacting on this planet for when my time clock is eventually up. Even if I’m not quite where I want to be yet. Seeing so many people get inspired by my work and reach out to me with messages of excitement planning an adventure they have always wanted to take, or living vicariously through these images warms my heart beyond belief and keeps me driven to stay out of my comfort zone and continue to take even bigger, and crazier adventures across this beautiful planet.
