Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???

On January 23, I’ll be free soloing Taipei 101 in Taiwan. It’s been a long time goal of mine and it’ll be the most ambitious urban climb that I’ve attempted. It’s a nearly 1,700 ft tower! What’s not to like?! And I’ll be doing it LIVE on @netflix. Tune in Friday, January 23 at 8PM ET / 5PM PT

Here's my latest eclipse composite photo formatted for a mobile wallpaper, feel free to download it and use it!

I also have a high quality 4k version you can have, but I hosted it on my website so it wouldn't be compressed. I'll link it in the reply to this post.

Last night I used 4 cameras to capture the ultimate HDR view of the lunar eclipse

This 300GB image shows the lunar surface in extreme detail, while revealing all rich color that was projected onto the surface

I’ll be sharing some pictures I captured of the Palisades Fire before the mandatory evacuation started in our area of Santa Monica. Most of the shots were taken along Adelaide Drive.

This is how the Palisades fire appeared from Adelaide street in Santa Monica.

September at Glacier National Park

Last summer, we traveled to Montana to visit one of the most beautiful national parks, Glacier.

The founders created the park with the idea of having “The Swiss Alps of the West.”
