There’s no poetry in innocence without the shadow of violence.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The world survives because bad men, with blackened hearts and fire in their fists, turn their ruin into armor for the weak. Without them, evil would reign unchecked.

We’ve been keeping this on the low down but it’s now time to fill y’all in since just announced their new ambassador, ! My guy invited me out as a wingman with the 📸 . Anytime we team up we always come home with images we’re anxious to edit, and this trip was no exception.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We had a discussion on the way home on how we couldn’t believe where our paths have lead us the last few years. I said this many times but, It’s wild what doors open when you pick up a camera! While teaching you how to see the world in a whole new light, LITERALLY, the love of photography also draws like minded people together. Sprinkle in the hunting community and you have a recipe for a real whirlwind of opportunity. I remember talking Rich off the edge from selling his camera just a few short years ago. Now look at what we get to do!🤣👊🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to do these kind of things with amazing people! To all involved 🙏🏻 I thank you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s a few images I managed to snag, ducking and dodging Rich’s lens. I went for the gritty edit on a few with high contrast on these, similar to an Andy Gotts image. Kyle was a true sport on a few of these as we were right up in his grill with the 24-70. 🤣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To finish things off, I added one of his famous walkout tunes, Cult of Personality. Kyle is a true gem of a dude so this tune is fitting. Super down to earth and is the kind of guy you’d want around the campfire.

HANGIN’ AROUND!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Matt is a pro at finding the best spots to hang a camera. We’ll just never see any of those pictures until the life cycle of every deer fades out.🤣☠️
I blame the neighbors.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what’s the next best thing? A picture of Matt setting up said cameras…

I could bottle this up and sell it.

SEROTONIN
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Serotonin is often referred to as the “feel-good” neurotransmitter. It helps maintain positive mood, reduce anxiety, and promote sleep. Dressing in a ghillie also helps produce more of it naturally.👌🏼

In the deep hush before daylight, the wild has a way of shaping a person. Out here, with only the faint light of dawn and the tension of a drawn bowstring, you come to understand that the forest isn’t just a place—it’s a mirror. A mirror that reveals who you are when no one else is around. For me, these hunts and the lens I carry have been more than just passion—they’ve been a refuge, a way through the shaded times. In that moonlit stillness, you realize the hunt is less about what you bring home and more about who you become. The wilderness, like an old friend, has a way of guiding you back to yourself.

It was one of those evenings where the air felt still. The sun was setting, clouds were few, and Franklin County, Pennsylvania, was quiet — for the moment. I had just pulled back into station, ready to catch up on the 26 pending reports that had piled up over the past two weeks. Franklin County has a way of making a Trooper feel right at home, let me tell you.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I barely made it through the door when the radio cracked to life — a man was holding his wife, kid, and neighbor hostage at gunpoint inside his double-wide. I bolted out of the station, jumped into the new Crown Vic, and hit the lights. Three of us ran code down the highway — I was lead car. The red and blue lights danced across every road sign, warping by like you were blasting through a runway at warp speed. Dispatch fed us updates in real time — the guy wasn’t cooperating.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I knew the area well, so we started working a plan before we even arrived. I had a few years on the job by then, feeling damn near invincible. Music always helped me keep my head straight, so I flicked on 101.5 FM — Mudvayne’s Happy? had just come on. Out there, anyone standing along that stretch of road would’ve heard the thunder — sirens wailing, wind ripping through the open windows, and Mudvayne breaking the silence of the countryside. The sound would’ve hit you hard… and disappeared just as fast as we arrived.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That night ended with me crawling through a field of corn after an attempted climb up a barn silo went sideways. I needed to get to the back door of the house without the suspect seeing me — he’d already told dispatch he was looking at multiple guys through a rifle scope. My only goal was to keep my brothers safe. Nobody got hurt that night, but fifteen years later, it’s still burned into my memory.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The outdoors, archery, and a camera — that’s what keeps me grounded now. Staying healthy, staying sharp, staying ready for whatever comes next. I’m still wearing the same badge, just in a different place. The days aren’t as hostile as they used to be, but when Happy? hits the radio… it’s still the same outcome — VOLUME UP.⬆️

THIS…
Is the cure for everything.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You don’t have to remind us why this is the best time of year. If anyone else has a different opinion… YOU’RE WRONG!🤠
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Think we gave up on hunting too early or just in time?

The light cuts through the trees, warm and golden — the kind of light that only lasts a few minutes but reminds you why you’re out here in the first place.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You tighten the stabilizers, check the rest, and run your fingers down the string.
Not because you don’t trust your setup…
but because you respect the process.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every nick on that riser, every scrape on your release — it’s earned.
It’s miles walked in silence.
It’s hours spent waiting for the right wind.
It’s a thousand small choices that lead to one moment of truth.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To most people, it’s just another morning.
To you, it’s something sacred.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is where the noise fades, and everything that matters comes into focus.
Not for glory. Not for likes.
Just for the love of the hunt — and the reminder that the best things in life are earned.

I feel like this season is going to hit much different than those in the past. The need to escape the matrix is at an all time high. I’m sitting near a campfire currently as I type this. Yeah, maybe I should be focused on the embers or the stars but I can’t help thinking about what this world is going through. It is the wild that lets us escape. It is the only remedy for what is happening and the more time you spend in it, the less chance you’ll fall victim to the endless pit of ones and zeros. 110001001100111101.
