It’s been a goal of mine to photograph Antelope Canyon since first picking up a camera and discovering the life’s work of @peterlik during college. Seeing it and photographing it in person was a life goal accomplished and even more incredible than expected.
The colors, features, and geology of the canyon are fascinating to see and experience in person. A trip to that part of the southwestern US isn’t complete without a stop to Antelope Canyon

Bridge-building in Logan Circle. 🏛️

It was a pleasure co-hosting the Logan Circle Business Breakfast with District Bridges (@logancirclems) at our Industrious Thomas Circle office (@industrioushq). At TEDxLogan Circle, we aim to be a connector for the people and businesses that drive our neighborhood forward.

Events like these are a humble reminder to be intentional about supporting local. Loved getting breakfast from Call Your Mother Deli (@callyourmotherdeli) and South Block (@southblock) from Logan Circle. Thank you, Patrick Tighe (@patrickltighe), for these amazing photos.

Looking forward to the next one!

We hope to see you at our next TEDx Meetup in May. See you at Red Light Bar on May 28, 2026. https://luma.com/pd23228x

Perhaps one of the most unique excursions Pat and I have ever done—hiking the more than 2,000 year old rice terraces of the remote Philippine Cordilleras. These were the Hapao Rice Terraces. Our guide from the Ifugao tribe, Victor, showed us how the locals live. The hike—not easy, but filled with authenticity. 100% worth it. If you watch until the end of the video, you’ll see a little blooper 🤣 by @patrickltighe
