Welcome

On this site we believe that space is sacred and worth protecting.

I am a photojournalist from the beautiful and wet Pacific Northwest traveling across the western United States engaging with public land through sacred practices. Through awe, rest, imagination, safety and pilgrimage,  we can begin to treat space as sacred – not for what it produces, but simply because it exists.
