I recently traveled to Ecuador with the award-winning Mongabay news team to make images (like the one of a tourist town sea lion, above) and gather interviews in the Galápagos and Amazon rainforest.
We were impressed by the stunning array of wildlife and plants this highly biodiverse nation boasts.
Ecotourism is a large aspect of the economy for local communities in these places, and I took some time to collect the views of a top naturalist guide in the iconic islands and published those in an interview:
Also, the podcast I produce for Mongabay won an award for its coverage 🏆 🏆 for this episode about how Indigenous communities’ traditional ecological knowledge makes them key partners in conservation efforts featuring a top National Geographic photojournalist who often covers this topic.

A number of images from my Ice Visions series were acquired by Bates Museum of Art for its permanent collection recently: the pieces join some original Snowflake Bentley prints there, fittingly.
That acquisition news sparked a feature about the project on the national NPR program Living on Earth, which aired in January 2025 & can be heard here.
Some of the images were featured in the Winter 2023 issue of Orion magazine.
I exhibited this series at the Bennington Museum after it appeared at the Brattleboro Museum for six months.
See sample images and a short film about my process of capturing these abstract images created by the ice fishing community at my gallery page, here:

Other recent reporting detailed a natural way that coastal landowners are protecting their shorelines against climate change-driven sea level rise and harsher storms, vs the usual ‘hard’ approach of concrete seawalls and such.
This method creates habitat vs reducing it, and can be less costly and just as effective as the ‘hard’ options.
‘Living shorelines’ have been around for decades but are gaining popularity now, and I report from Maine and New Hampshire about it for global environmental news service Mongabay:
I also reported recently on the expansion in the U.S. of agroforestry — the world’s most climate- and biodiversity-friendly form of agriculture — for global environmental news site Mongabay, where I’m also an editor and podcast producer: I’ve interviewed top conservation photographer Ami Vitale and reported a feature about the growing conservation tech field of bioacoustics there, too, view these & more here.
