Devils Tower wearing a perfect halo.
A single flight path carved a clean arc across the Wyoming sky that morning — one of those rare intersections of nature and geometry you only see once.

Printed large, the curve becomes almost sculptural.

Devils Tower, 2009
This summer road trip was mainly about climbing, but I always packed my camera. We climbed a great route on the Tower, and I took this shot the next day. It’s not perfect, but it marks the moment when photography started to take hold.

Still summer 2009. 10,000 miles across the western US in just seven weeks — a wild mix of discovery, climbing, hiking… and photography. Most of the pictures weren’t that great, but this road trip gave me the spark. A camera in hand, a car, and a tent — it was the perfect starting point.

📜 This Day in History – September 24, 1906

Teddy Roosevelt designated Devils Tower as the first U.S. National Monument.
A big rock. A bold move. A love letter to the wild.

You made Trudeau proud, Teddy—
with your jaw set firm, your laugh so heady.
But most of all, you made us see
the wild was worth its sanctity.

The first of many marks you made—
a monument to what won’t fade.
