      That's a thought i have always had. I love looking at old photos of my family, so in 30 years, it'll be nice to think that grandkids could see all of this.

    That last fox image was excellent and came about unexpectantly when you thought you were finished for the day. Many of my most satisfying photos are "surprises" as well. Don't forget to turn around once in awhile as you might be pleased with what you see.

    The last fox image is *chefs kiss*. The snow really made it feel like a pencil sketch, which, to me, elevates the photo even more. Loving this series and images.

    Well for a Landscape photographer you wording something right for this fox images. Yes, the last one was superb, indeed a wildlife photographers dream show I suspect. Pleas remember some of us live our photography through watching you. We are in no position health wise to get near the things you do, they are wonderful for us. I have enjoyed lots of things you have done, especially with the van, I hope you go back to it, however this was just wonderful, its possibly because of the amazing scenery but those amazing fox images will stay with me!

    Your book has arrived finally! My dad and I were so excited to see the photos and the videos of their process. Unfortunately my father passed away a month ago from cancer and didn't get the chance to see the book he was so excited for. He had a passion for photography and we would watch your videos together, and we would go on our own little adventures taking photos. The book is great and your videos (old and new) bring comfort in these turbulent times.
    Perhaps this is a sign to visit Iceland like my dad wanted. But for now, your videos bring the pleasant memory of bonding over photography and the inspiration you would give us. Thank you

    Stop apologizing for the video not being good enough, your videos always are amazing, wether you take a picture or not, for me it’s the journey you put us through, not necessarily the destination/goal of taking a picture.
