This Fragile Earth is the intersection of photography, environmental advocacy, and adventuring. You can use this website to read about some backpacking/photo trips, ongoing photography projects, and my opinions about gear.

About Me


I'm Andrew, a scientist by trade and photographer in my spare time. I've been taking pictures and documenting places for 10 years. Photography has helped me to see beauty in everyday experiences; exposed me to all kinds of people, lifestyles, and environments; and taught me to make time in my life for physical activity. I'm hoping this site encourages others to experience public lands and witness the beauty of America (or wherever!).
