During my three weeks in Morocco I didn’t really get off the beaten path, but this place has a lot of beauty to offer anywhere you look. I spent a few days in Marrakesh, some time surfing in the south, a good week in Essaouira (which I loved), then a quick drive into the desert. I would really like to […]
Refugee: a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. While reading about the ongoing migration crisis into Europe, I found out how much of the passage funnels through this one little island off the Turkish coast called Lesvos. People from all over, mostly the Middle East, are trying to […]
I didn’t spend much time outside of Havana, but the few days I did were significant in order to remove myself from the chaos of the city. One afternoon in a quiet fishing village to the east, a visit to a local beach, and two days in Viñales were enough to give me a small taste of what awaits me […]
Setting foot on the ground in Cuba is like traveling back in time. It is well-known that this country was built up fast after the revolution in 1959, and not much has happened since. My favorite thing to do when visiting foreign countries is to talk with locals. Only then can you get the truest views on circumstances rather than […]
It can be difficult to find good parties with the right energy. I had attended one of these last year and hadn’t been able to come back until now. Lots of clubs and events may have great DJs and music but you go and don’t feel the energy from the crowd. Ideally you’d get people who are there for the […]
New York is a special place for Halloween as a large part of the city descends on Manhattan to join in the parade. Here are a few moments that I captured this year.
Let go, just for one week, and see what you learn. Welcome home…
A nice late morning in Venice with my beautiful twins
We headed to Tulum for two good friends Brent and Ana’s wedding, we decided to spend the first couple days off the beaten path. We headed to the north coast of the Yucatan state to a little town called El Cuyo. You’ll find it on a strip of land on the sea with only about 1,000 people that was perfect […]
I got inspired on a recent west coast visit to compile a series of photos I’ve shot from commercial flights of the deserts. Being originally from California, we have the privilege of flying over these vast expanses of empty lands every time we travel east. I’m always glued to the window, fascinated at what might be below me. Here are […]
We found a lovely cove on the east side of Oahu. Nani born and raised on the north shore is clearly very comfortable in the water, I barely had to direct, just captured moments of exploration.
This group is straight up crazy. I had the idea to shoot a little series of the club doing their weekly winter dip on Sunday, and it did not disappoint. Air temp was “warm” for February at 36°F (2°C) and the water was exactly the same. To give you an idea of how cold that is, the American west coast […]
An editorial with Nic Huffman and Sam Adegoke for The Advnt Society shot in downtown LA
A little series of LA yogi Ali Owens in an afternoon flow.
I’m lucky that my best friend Brian works for Zero Motorcycles, a company of electric bikes that are incredible to ride. Noiseless, emission free, and powerful, these things are a dream to fly through these back roads in the Santa Cruz mountains. Here’s a few shots from a quick ride I did with them.
This last Sunday evening was the fifth day of protests against police brutality after a court ruling in favor of not indicting officer Daniel Pantaleo for the killing of Eric Garner on Staten Island. It was smaller than the first days, and nothing turned violent or dangerous, but the energy was very much still alive. 6pm – Park Ave
Every Saturday morning at Fort Tryon Park in Manhattan this group joins up to practice their freestyle workout. It was cold out and everyone was staying warm with pumped up energy. Barstarzz was started as a way to organize and keep the sport alive.
Ever wondered about those cool dark Brooklyn warehouse parties that last till morning? Here’s a little glimpse.
I brought my camera out with me while wandering the streets and found some great people with awesome costumes. New York really is an exciting place to be for this holiday. 8pm – Williamsburg 10:30pm – Midtown Manhattan 2am – Back to Williamsburg
I was walking along the parking lot and met Rob who had just swam in and walked across the beach with his fins in hand, so I asked about bodysurfing out there. He started doing it in the spring when it is typically windy and the waves aren’t great in northern California, he got hooked and stuck with it. I […]
This was one of the coolest things I’ve ever had happen to me… It was all thanks to my good friend Alex LeBon, who’s been living on Oahu for about ten years now. He had the idea to go find some dolphins on the west side of the island. Strapped a kayak and stand up board to the car roof […]
During my visit last month, I arranged a test shoot with Sophia. This girl is very athletic and was great to shoot. We met up near Sunset Beach on the north shore and got a few nice photos before the light was gone.
Once again in the northern Nevada desert, our amazing little city was built and came to life. Just a few hours outside of Reno, the barren environment makes you feel a million miles from civilization. Nobody’s burn is the same, here’s a look through mine. Welcome home…
Awesome friends of mine in awesome halloween costumes. If you are in your late twenties or early thirties, you definitely will know what this is about. Street Fighter II was one of the best arcade games in the 90s. Ken Akuma Vega Chun Li Ryu

What can we say about our desolate and dusty gathering? It’s more than an event, it’s more than a festival, it’s a way of life. It’s a pain to go, and a pain to leave. But if you get it, your life will be changed forever. After my first burn I swore I would never miss it. Welcome home..
