Super nice chap. We nick named him Tatonka as back then, his fieldcraft skills weren’t great. As is everyone when they begin. I remember his enthusiasm.

Fantastic to see his work now! Simply sublime imagery.

I tend to be impressed when I see an image that I don’t think I could duplicate if I was at the same place with the same gear. For me, that image is the Kite Composite. I know how to make a composite, but I don’t think I could create one like this. If he posted a 45-minute behind the scenes how-to video on youtube, I’d watch the entire thing, twice.

Visually, I think the perfectly exposed and composed Bison in the Snow picture is my favorite.
