"Stormy Chaos"

Grand Canyon National Park 2015

16" x 24"

Shot during an 800-mile through-hike of the entire national park for National Geographic to highlight the Canyon's beauty...and fragility.

Native Coloradan, Pete McBride, has spent two decades studying the world with a camera. A self-taught photographer, filmmaker, writer, and public speaker, he has traveled on assignment to over 75 countries for the National Geographic Society, Smithsonian, Outside, Esquire, Microsoft, The Nature Conservancy and many more. After a decade documenting remote expeditions from Everest to Antarctica, Pete became frustrated with the media and magazine world and decided to focus his cameras closer to home on a subject closer to his heart – his backyard river, the Colorado. Four years and 1500-river miles later, McBride produced a book, three award-winning short documentaries and hosted a PBS TV program. Other watersheds soon called including a source to sea look at India’s Ganges. Upon completing the journey, The National Geographic Society named McBride a “Freshwater Hero”. Others, particularly children, call him the ‘Lorax of Rivers’.
