Adorn
Patagonia, a place that can boast violent, light blocking storms, or a landscape adorned in vibrant autumn colours and sun-kissed, glaciated mountain peaks. Thankfully on this particular afternoon we were greeted with the latter.
Patagonia, Argentina
Mountain Sea
My latest ocean imagery has been inspired by the Russian painter Ivan Aivazovsky who was incredibly skilled at portraying the reflected light and movement of the sea. This photo is more subdued than my others but I liked the layering and textures here which also reminded me of an aerial perspective of the New Zealand landscape.

From The Ruins
Where glaciers once ruled, by the smoking mountains of Fiordland, looking West over Doubtful Sound one afternoon as we waited for the sun to sink low enough to inflame the lingering cloud.
Fiordland, New Zealand
Fallen And Redeemed
I’ve been leaving my phone behind lately, as well as my camera. When I’m able to intimately connect with nature, I better understand myself and my role as a husband, father, friend and son. We live in a society that uses business to hide emptiness. Don’t be afraid to do less and allow yourself to tend to unhealed wounds. That’s what this photo represents, the healing process that leads to completion.

Divided
Looking down upon an ancient, flowing river of ice. Uplifted and scarred by the ever moving hands of time. For reference, a truck would fit on top of one of the cubed sections.
Hanging On
Mt Madeleine and remnants of a once mighty glacier which carved the peaks and valleys of Fiordland.
Power to believe
Mount Aspiring, the prince of the southern alps.
West Coast, New Zealand
Brothers of the earth
The peaks of Aoraki and Tititea (Cook and Aspiring), looking along the spine of the Southern Alps.
South Island, New Zealand
Glory
A moving moment, after 2 years of prior attempts to behold the magnificent Mt Fitzroy illuminated by the light of a new day. Not much else on earth rivals this sight.
Fitzroy, Patagonia
Sea of stone
Mount Cook centred above the glaciated sea of stone, that is the Southern Alps.
West Coast, New Zealand
Stronghold
Stormy skies and atmospheric conditions at dawn. The towers of the Fitzroy massif prepare to endure.
Patagonia, Argentina
Ice Empire
Cerro Torre, the mighty peak aflame at dawn. One cannot stand before this sight and not be moved by such imposing beauty.
Cerro Torre, Patagonia Argentina
Valor
Whether above the craggy peaks or below in the lush valleys, Fiordland has a way of impacting the soul of all who are exposed to its timeless beauty. Captured at dawn, this is my favourite mountain on earth, Mount Tutoko.
Emerge
Autumn colours vibrantly decorate the landscape in Patagonia, for a brief window in time before the sting of winter arrives.
Fitzroy, Patagonia
Uniformity
As the rain subsides and makes its way through the valleys and out to sea, the forest is cleansed and the cycle continues.
Fiordland, New Zealand
The Vision
After 2 previous trips to Patagonia and having the weather deny me, this was a sight I’ve truly longed to see. The mighty Cerro Torre framed by the unmistakable fall colours in this beautiful region of Argentina.

Golden
The changing of seasons and embrace of the sinking autumn sun.

Majesty In Misery
The acceptance of darkness and its requirement to let light shine in life.

When I trust in you
As darkness finally gave way to light, beside cascading torrents of rain water in Lofoten, Norway.
