My Charitable Wish List

Please! No more presents, just for the sake of buying presents. If you want to do something for me, please make a donation to support the things I care about, and make the world a better place.

Please see my charitable wish list, and please create your own.


My Photography

I have been photographing landscapes--especially ones that are threatened--for thirty years, and this has taken me to 101 countries. I am driven by a fierce determination to help protect some of these sacred places. If you share my passion for the planet, please do all you can to help protect it. Think about how you can modify your lifestyle, consumption, and travel to minimize your impact. Also, please donate and volunteer to help environmental nonprofits fulfill their work. You can see my favorite organizations below these samples of my photographs. See more of my photography at my website.
