Highlights from my recent shoot in Almeria Spain capturing Joey’s isle of man TT practice.

New Film!!!!

This year, I have embarked on a new film project documenting Joey Thompson and his team as they prepare for and compete in the legendary Isle of Man TT. Unlike the corporate-backed, high-profile racing series such as MotoGP and Formula 1, road racing exists in a world driven by passion, resilience, and personal sacrifice rather than fortune and fame. The Isle of Man TT represents the pinnacle of this discipline, where riders push themselves and their machines to the absolute limit in pursuit of the perfect 37-mile lap.

Through this project, I aim to capture the untold stories behind the sport—exploring the intense physical and mental preparation, the financial struggles of independent racers, and the unwavering commitment required to take on one of the most dangerous races in the world. By following Joey’s journey, I hope to shed light on the unique culture of road racing and the individuals who dedicate their lives to it, driven not by monetary reward, but by an unbreakable love for the sport.

In less than a month I will have been working with the @oceanic.society for a year, and I can’t believe how fast it’s gone. I started during the gray whale northbound migration, where we launched out of Half Moon Bay and spent hours looki
These are the tails of the three main Whale species we see out at the Farallon Islands. #1 is a Gray Whale, #2 is a Humpback, #3 is a Blue Whale. While very different in size and nature, these whales are equally awesome to see!!! #wildlife #ocean #oc
The Black Footed Albatross is one of my favorite birds I got to see with the @oceanic.society. Watching these massive birds glide for what seems like miles with out flapping their wings is one of the most mesmerizing things you can see in nature. #bi
Perhaps not the “prettiest” fish in the world, the Ocean Sun Fish or Mola Mola is by far one of the more interesting sightings we can have while on one of the @oceanic.society whale watching!! They are the largest bony fish in the world w
While I am patiently waiting for the @oceanic.society #halfmoonbay gray whale watching season to begin, I’m scrolling through my collections from this past #farallonislands season and wishing I could be out on the boat. Here is a photo from 5/1
So the 2019 Farallon Island Whale Watching season has come to an end. I’ve seen some truly incredible things during my time at the islands and wish it wasn’t ending so soon. Thank you @oceanic.society for giving me the honor and privilege
On a day that consisted of 4 blue whales 6 humpbacks, 200+ sea lions, and a peregrine falcon at the farallon islands, I would never have thought the best photo op of the day would be found at the dock. After 8 hours on a boat I sat on the edge of the

Since there has been so much food around the gulf of the Farallons, the whales have only been focused on feeding. But this one whale put on a great show for us last weekend. If you’d like to see this in person go to @oceanic.society and go book
Our trips this week didn’t have to travel far to find whales. Anywhere between 5-10 whales were seen with in a mile of the Golden Gate. I even saw one 100 yards off the shore of ocean beach. If your near the coast keep an eye out for whale blow
Cool moment yesterday with two navy helicopters flying under the golden gate. #murica #photography #goldengatebridge #bayarea #fleetweeksf
On a clear day when you approach the Farallon Islands a sense of adventure washes over you. The sounds, sights and smells tell you that this is a place of pure wilderness. For the first time since moving to SF I was able to see the islands from shore
