Sometimes the best dreams of all, are the ones we’ve never had.

The USDA National Forest Service Artist In Residence program is a collaboration between nature and art. During my time working with the Bighorn National Forest I created multiple promotional videos, this was the one that struck a chord with me the most, being a novice film photographer myself. Enjoy as Nathan uses his craft and shares his knowledge as he shoots a scene on large format film.

The Illinois Climbers Association (ICA) hosts a bouldering competition in Southern Illinois every year to raise funds for their loan on the property from the Access Fund. In 2019 they were able to pay off the remaining balance of the loan. Having been to the competition in the past, I reached out about covering the videography and photography for the event. The photos were featured on the Access Fund’s news release about the event and the video is displayed on the ICA’s website.

A passion was born in the glacial rivers and volcanic fields of Iceland. The trip was at the forefront of my interest in film-making, and was a catalyst for my future endeavors. The trip was on a whim; an unexpected opportunity. It gave me the realization that I was undervaluing the story-telling potential of videography.
