Over thousands of miles I traced the heart of America from the sandstone canyons of Utah to the alpine peaks of Wyoming, photographing with it nature’s playgrounds, the human connection with the environment, 14 national parks, and the spaces just as beautiful in between along the way. These landscapes are living ecosystems, shaped over millennia and held together by delicate balances. Every frame is both a celebration of what we still have and a quiet reminder of what we stand to lose without care, stewardship, and action.

From melting glaciers to vanishing species, these places aren’t guaranteed for the next generation. They’re under threat, not by nature’s will, but by negligence and greed. These photographs are proof of what’s worth protecting and a reminder that silence is complicity.
