Along the way, I spent two days hiking and camping in southern Arizona. I’ve enjoyed many epic views from my tent, but this is definitely one of my all-time favorites. While I only spent 48 hours exploring this epic landscape, I fell completely in love and have been dreaming about returning for a longer trip ever since. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57ae1985d1758effdea2cbbe/1609337470032-69FQHARR6AOTYRRONKWT/MLP_6175_horizontal.jpg Blog - 2020 in 20 Photos Waking up with the dawn patrol | San Diego, California After driving just over 2,500 miles (from Chapel Hill to San Diego), I attended the 2020 Ocean Sciences Meeting.

It was an adventure to say the least. The good news: I had my tent, and plenty of supplies, including my camera gear. There is nothing quite like photographing the night sky over the desert. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57ae1985d1758effdea2cbbe/1609264752691-V53CXYO546YXUJ0B946W/image-asset.jpeg Blog - 2020 in 20 Photos Exploring Diablo Canyon | New Mexico As I made my way back east, I stopped in New Mexico to spend a few days with my dearest adventure buddy, Jon Haas. Jon and I celebrated our birthdays (the end of February and beginning of March) with a weekend of hiking and camping in the wilderness of northern New Mexico. On the first day we hiked through muddy canyons, and the second day we post-holed through deep snow. It was epic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57ae1985d1758effdea2cbbe/1609267431038-4XBVZUJGMS1CHU4ED53R/MLP_6670_edited.jpg Blog - 2020 in 20 Photos Celebrating Frankie’s First Birthday | Durham, NC Just a few days after I returned from my cross-country road trip, we celebrated Frankie’s first birthday in Beth and Gia’s backyard. The next day, we all went into lockdown mode as stay-at-home orders were issued across the state of North Carolina and the country. This warm, sunny afternoon in early March will forever be burned in my mind as our final day of carefree fun with friends before pandemic protocols became the new way of life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57ae1985d1758effdea2cbbe/1609338299275-8LS7QSBS60VUHEJ3CU6D/MLP_7017_edited.jpg Blog - 2020 in 20 Photos Staying Home | Carrboro, NC As COVID-19 swept across the world, all of my expeditions and field work for 2020 were cancelled or postponed. One of the things that kept me sane during quarantine life was teaching photography to Ryan. With a little guidance from me, Ryan captured this beautiful image on our coffee table one evening. We both love it so much that we printed a large-scale version and hung it in our bedroom — where it serves an important reminder that beautiful photography doesn’t always require traveling to the far reaches of the planet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57ae1985d1758effdea2cbbe/1609266300042-TLB20AJQOFYLBY1E1GUX/MLP_7812_edited.jpg Blog - 2020 in 20 Photos Documenting Joe and Kimiko’s Wedding | Chapel Hill, NC Hands down one of the happiest days of this year — I was honored to photograph Joe and Kimiko’s wedding on a rainy, beautiful Sunday afternoon in Homestead Park. Like millions of couples around the world, these two had planned on having a large, traditional wedding in early summer of 2020. Instead, they had a very simple ceremony with just 10 guests. It was perfect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57ae1985d1758effdea2cbbe/1609272128133-LQ0V42S47DLH9RJTOU5Y/epic+love.jpg Blog - 2020 in 20 Photos Kissing on a cliff at Hanging Rock State Park | North Carolina When parks and public lands started to reopen in the early summer, Ryan and I packed up the camping gear and headed to Hanging Rock State Park.

Obviously this year was different. I have always enjoyed the wide variety of species along the trail, but seeing the prolific number of mushrooms was a special treat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57ae1985d1758effdea2cbbe/1609266546179-L7YMB6FLBXL1284FEP4P/MLP_9778_edited.jpg Blog - 2020 in 20 Photos Gazing at Mt.

The mountain’s lower barometric pressure and severe, unpredictable weather patterns make it one of the most challenging summit bids on the planet.

Photographing this majestic, mind-boggling mountain for the first time in such perfect conditions felt like a good sign. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57ae1985d1758effdea2cbbe/1564628162632-LBO4SBKC6JGIE3Q3MSXS/Alaska_July2019_82.jpg Blog - Alaska: Land of Dreams Small human.
