Adventures on the Trail

ONLY FORWARD

Monochrome view of wispy cirrus clouds above a distant ocean horizon. Santa Barbara Channel and Channel Islands.

A Visual Memoir

VISION

The project is less about miles than meaning - a pared-down look at what movement reveals.

PATH

It traces my path from a torn Achilles through runs across the Grand Canyon, the Alps, and the Santa Barbara hills behind my home.

ESSENCE

The photographs are taken mid-run, the writing pulled from trail notes. They explore what movement reveals over time — how pain sharpens attention and place teaches patience.
