Earth Day looks different depending on where you're standing.

I've lived on three continents: Oregon, Okinawa, and now Kigali, Rwanda, and each place has permanently changed how I see the natural world. These six images are from that journey.

1. Proxy Falls, Oregon, a mossy cascade in the Cascades
2. Oregon Coast, Cape Perpetua in marine layer fog
3. Kerama Islands, Okinawa, a panoramic stitch of that impossible blue
4. Tomato clownfish, Okinawa, shot on a dive
5. Plains zebra, Akagera National Park, Rwanda
6. L'Hoest's monkey, Nyungwe Forest, Rwanda

Same planet. Always worth protecting. 🌍

Celebrating #PortfolioDay with a look at the incredible biodiversity of East Africa. From the striking patterns of a Plains Zebra to the intimate grooming rituals of baboons, my goal is to document the natural world with technical precision and artistic intent.

Plumbago blooms in Kigali. These flowers are everywhere in Rwanda, but up close they show remarkable detail, the veining, the calyxes, the way light plays across the petals.

L’Hoest’s monkey in the wild, photographed deep inside Nyungwe National Park 🇷🇼

The forest light was soft after rain, greens saturated, and the moment lasted just a few seconds, long enough for eye contact.

One of 13 primate species found in Nyungwe, one of Africa’s oldest rainforests.
