Crater Lake Smoky Sunset 4x5

Three years ago, near the start of the pandemic, my photography ground to a halt. There’s still a gap in my Lightroom catalog where May and June 2020 should be.

Ocellated tapaculo_02

"Hey, Daddy! What was the coolest bird you saw in Colombia?" This was one of the first questions my children asked me upon my return from this biodiverse country. Some people might have expected me to name one of the toucans, parrots, or hummingbirds. My children, however, are already aware...
