    When I’m out shooting sports, what I need to bring back is not all technically sports—what is happening off the field, court, track, pitch, etc. adds to the story.

    Sarah never slept very well. She’d lie in bed listening to the regular, soft breathing of her little sister Macey and feel jealous. As tired as she could become during the day, usually late morning and early afternoon, now she was awake and sharp as a tack. She would try to will herself to sleep,…

    This year, 2025, I made my second trip to Iceland. Part of the reason was that my photos from my first trip last summer convinced my wife to visit. But I think the main reason was that I simply fell in love with he country, its people, its geography and even its history. This is
