May your light shine as brightly as the peaks of our shared earth. A glimpse of the enthralling crystalline shimmer of the mountains of British Columbia from our snowy road trip in Canada… The first time I visited these stunning peaks thirty-two years ago, I was new (but already very dedicated to) my Leicaflex SL2…

I returned from Nepal and went straight to pick up a very special (secret!) box that contained “The Reporter Jacket,” a limited-edition Aether + Leica collaboration made with the input of four photographers from around the world – Mathieu Bitton, Ragnar Axelsson, Misan Harriman, and myself. Meetings with the design team at Aether included in-depth…

2024 marked ten years of work and travel to Nepal (2013, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024). It’s been such a blessing to trek over 2,000 miles, document four month-long remote medical clinics, summit four technical peaks and visit numerous districts East to West. Over the past decade, I’ve learned to prepare…

A highlight of each summer is giving a heartfelt talk encapsulating adventures and images of the previous year into an encouraging message for others. This summer, I spoke about “The Art of Wonder” and how photography has challenged me to reach heights and places beyond my dreams. Having climbed stunning iconic mountains, I can share…

Join us for our next Leica Conversation with Professional Photographer, Executive Film Producer and Mountaineer Cira Crowell. Cira has had the new SL3 on the road since the day it was released, taking the camera to the ocean, the desert, and mountain blizzards. During our talk, she will discuss how Leica has been integral to…

I’m thrilled to bring you an unexpected collection of nearly eighty images of Alta, Utah about the joy of skiing. So much messaging about mountains is superlative – biggest, first, fastest, highest, deepest, farthest – but my interest is in connection, not conquering. My hope is for connection with nature, with others, through body, mind,…

Leica Camera announced the new Leica SL3 on March 7, 2024, and it was so exciting to pick one up the next day. The first few weeks I was able to photograph with it from California to New Mexico, Colorado and Utah – city, beach, desert, mountains and snow – with lenses from S, SL,…
