My plan to visit Ray Wayside Park was a failure. Instead I became enchanted by the Eureka Bridge, lost in its many kept secrets and stories available only to those who pause and listen. This post is a reflection on the Eureka Bridge and the many structures of the Ocklawaha River.

I followed the Ocklawaha River from State Road 19 in Palatka, Florida, to the County Road 316 Bridge in Eureka, tracing the route of the long abandoned Cross Florida Barge Canal project. This is the first in what I hope becomes a series dedicated to the Ocklawaha River.

The Ocala National Forest was recently listed on National Geographic’s Best of the World 2025, a list compiling the 25 best places in the world to visit. Jenny and I drove our Kayaks to Silver Springs State Park, located in the Ocala National Forest, and paddled the Silver River.

I spent the summer shooting exclusively on Kodak Gold 200 and my Hasselblad 500cm.

I spent two days camping in the Florida Everglades with my Fuji X100V.

We kayak camped along the Ocklawaha River in a storm while sick.

I made a video about being present, Alex and I went camping for the first time since 2019, and Zion turned one year old!

Everything you need to know to camp in the Juniper Prairie Wilderness area of the Ocala National Forest, including parking information and trailheads, camping locations and helpful resources.

With a rare morning to myself, I kayaked a section of the Ocklawaha River and created a video of the adventure.

Alex and I kayaked to the La Chua Trail observation deck in Paynes Prairie Preserve and camped in a storm.

It was midday and 95 degrees with scattered thunderstorms forecasted throughout the afternoon. The conditions were perfect for a lot to go wrong.

I have a love-hate relationship with light painting. It never goes as planned, and although my ideas are tactful, the execution is consistently inadequate. This past weekend I took to the woods to explore the role the physical process plays in art and how that affects our perception of it.
