Out here at the bottom of the world, haloed by ice crystals and sun rings, it’s impossible not to feel small and infinite all at once. Wishing you a week where the ordinary cracks open to awe. Walk into it with your arms wide. The wonder is waiting. #Photography

Lush doesn’t begin to cover it. This is where green goes to dream. Ferns spill over stone, moss wraps everything in quiet velvet, blossoms whisper in pink and white. A garden so alive it feels like it’s breathing with you. #LeicaQ2 #Portland #LushLife #SecretGarden #Photography

Stephen Hauser Stephen Hauser greeted me at the Weill Institute for Neurosciences at UCSF with the kind of presence that immediately quiets a room, not through authority, but warmth. There’s something patient and steady in his demeanor. The kind of person who, even after decades at the front lines…

The sea freezes in cartographer’s script, a cracked atlas of longing and latitude. The lines look like borders on some forgotten map, drawn by nature not nations. #Svalbard #Photography

They sail the polar winds, weightless as whispers, drawn by something no eye can see. Between ice and sky, they follow an ancient rhythm, known only to them. #Svalbard #Photography

This is my 14th journey to the polar regions. Each visit feels both like a return and a revelation. People often ask why I keep going back. The answer is simple, though hard to explain. It’s the ethereal beauty, the silence that humbles you, and the sense of wonder that never fades.
