After over a decade in our respective professional fields, my wife and I have decided to take a 12 month sabbatical! This adventure will start on May 1st, 2024. Our love of travel and my passion for photography have won out, and we have decided to embrace our desire to do some exploring. The plan is to spend 9 months in our van driving around the Western / South Western US, and British Columbia, and to spend 3 months in New Zealand.

Of course, I’ll be focusing on my photography and honing how I see the world. I love shooting with my digital Leicas, but recently I’ve been exploring using my film cameras more, specifically my Hasselblad X-Pan and Contax 645. I found a new photo lab on the East Coast specializing in developing film and the results have been very positive. I can’t wait to see the what I can produce with 12 full months dedicated to road tripping, hiking, and shooting.
