Full-time traveler. Visual Craftsman. Seeker of the unseen.
Behind the Lens: My Journey
The Day Everything Changed
I was standing in a field in Pennsylvania, holding a camera I'd just converted to shoot infrared.
I looked through the viewfinder and froze.
The trees weren't green anymore—they were glowing white like ghosts. The sky had turned to charcoal. Everything I thought I knew about photography... about seeing... was suddenly wrong.
I turned to Tracey and said, "I think I just found what I've been looking for."
That was eight years ago. We haven't stopped chasing that feeling since.
Who We Are
I'm Dan. My wife Tracey, our dog Cooper, and our cat Mimo are full-time travelers. We sold everything, bought an RV, and now we wander America looking for moments most people walk right past.
Not because they're not there. Because they're invisible.
Infrared photography reveals light your eyes can't see—the glow hiding in forests, the way churches seem to pulse with energy, the moment a landscape stops being a place and becomes a feeling.
I've been a photographer for over 20 years, but these last eight years shooting infrared? This is the work I was meant to do.
What Drives Us
Our logo is a Celtic Tree of Life—a nod to our Irish heritage and a reminder of what this work is really about:
Connection;
Between nature and art.
Between what's seen and what's felt.
Between the ordinary and the extraordinary.
Every image I create is an invitation:
See differently.
Feel something deeper.
Bring a piece of the unseen home.
How We Work
We don't plan much. We follow weather, recommendations from locals, and gut feelings.
Tracey helps me choose which images make the cut (she has better instincts than I do). Cooper reminds me to take breaks. Mimo... well, she's still figuring out her role.
I shoot with full-spectrum converted Nikon cameras and multiple infrared filters—from deep black-and-white to surreal color. Every image is processed by hand in Lightroom and Photoshop, then printed on museum-quality materials:
Brushed aluminum (my favorite—the glow is unreal)
Fine art paper (classic, timeless)
Canvas (rich texture, gallery-ready)
Limited Editions:
Our Limited Editions aren’t image-based in the usual way. The image may live in other formats—but the Limited Edition version is reserved for the most distinctive, museum-style presentations: HD metal, wood, and deckled, matted & framed fine art prints.
A deckled edge is an old-world fine art detail—paper with a soft, hand-torn edge that adds texture and authenticity you can see up close. Combined with archival matting and custom framing, it creates a piece that feels less like a print and more like an artifact.
Only 25 are produced per image in these special formats. Each one is signed, numbered, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.
Why This Matters
Here's what I hear most at art fairs:
"I've never seen anything like this."
"How is this even possible?"
"This made me stop and actually feel something."
That's the point.
We live in a world that moves too fast. These images are pauses. Portals. Reminders that magic is still hiding in plain sight—if you know how to look.
