Wow, April 1st. If only what’s happening in the world right now was all a big horrible April Fool’s joke.

We are already one quarter of the way through 2020. Time goes by so fast and we don’t even realize it. Which is why it’s important to cherish all the moments afforded to us, even these strange ones during shelter-in-place.

I am back home in California, but starting today, I will revert back to publishing photography from around the world. My hope is my photography will show people how big, beautiful, and amazing Earth truly is. Maybe if we can all see our planet’s magnificence we will be more motivated to keep it that way.

For as much as this global pandemic is negatively affecting humanity, it probably has a net positive effect on the rest of the planet. As industries shut down we are polluting our oceans less and tearing down fewer trees. We’re burning less fossil fuels. We are inadvertently helping all life on this planet by diminishing Earth’s greatest threat: climate change.

Let’s not forget our true danger. The potential death and destruction of climate change dwarfs that of Covid-19. We’ve come a long way as a species, but we still have a long way to go and a lot of work to do. This pandemic has changed our lives. Hopefully it has also changed our perspectives. What world do we want?
