Over the years, I’ve named and renamed this blog more times than I can count.
Each time, I was trying to capture what we do—the energy of the work, the magic of the wildlife, the grit of the journey. But nothing ever quite felt right. It just didn’t fully reflect who I am or what this life is actually like.
Until now.
I’ve finally landed on a name that feels good:
A Day in the Life of a Wildlife Guide and Photographer.
It fits, because that's truly what this blog and my YouTube channel have become—a window into what we do out there. Not just the epic moments with polar bears, orcas on the hunt, or dancing with sharks... but the full reality of our days in the field.
The early mornings.
The gear failures.
The missed sightings.
The quiet days where the ocean feels empty.
The magic we chase anyway.
If you’ve watched my YouTube videos, you already know they’re far from polished.
They’re raw, in-the-moment, and definitely flawed—but I love them that way. They’re honest. They share the heart and soul of what we experience out there.
Until now, I’ve mostly shared highlights—those big, cinematic moments when nature delivers something unforgettable. And don’t get me wrong—I’ll keep sharing those.
But I’ve been thinking…
Maybe it’s time to start sharing the lows, as well.
The days when nothing shows up.
The long waits.
The breakdowns.
The hours of effort that go into those brief flashes of beauty.
It might bore some people. But I think others might find it refreshing. Real. Even inspiring. Because that’s what these trips are actually like.
Wild places don’t follow scripts. And neither do we.
So, this name—A Day in the Life of a Wildlife Guide and Photographer—is more than just a title. It’s a direction. For this blog. For our channel. For how I want to tell these stories.
Thanks for being here, and for following along on this wild ride.
Let’s see what tomorrow brings.
