Source to sea

I’m excited to share stories from my book Seeing Silence tonight at @wheeleropera in Aspen, including my journey to get home from South Georgia at the beginning of the pandemic. When I returned to silence, it sparked an idea and ultimately led to this book.

Thanks to @sonyalpha for supporting this project and my work.

Whether you’re at a big gathering, alone in the wilds or chilling on thin ice - happy thanksgiving.

I’m grateful for wild places, family, friends, fellow adventurers, music, silence and all of YOU who follow my work - many of which I’ve met along the way.

📷 some archive snaps from #antarctica & #penguins I met years ago.

Grateful for those wild moments amidst the wilds.

Happy Thanksgiving to all - braving the elements to visit friends and family.

Fun to share tales of the soundscapes - like the applause of Amazonian rains — behind the landscapes. Thx @thevimff for hosting me to share stories last night.

A few clicks from my time following @ed_stafford on his yearlong plus stroll following the Amazon River source to sea.

Whoooping up a storm! I’m thrilled to learn that my book Seeing Silence just won the National Outdoor Book Award for Nature and Environment.

Thanks to @rizzolibooks and the entire team for bringing this book to life. For those interested, I’m giving 15% off the Deluxe version (12 x 12 inches with a case and print included) — as well as $15 off images in my print store. I’ll be donating that savings back to some of my favorite groups working to protect our natural world locally and beyond: @africanparksnetwork @grandcanyontrust @ecoflight @americanrivers.

Head to my bio link or petemcbride.com/seeing-silence-deluxe and use code QUIET15 for books. Prints are discounted already.

The Think Tank of the Soul: I am honored to be the closing speaker at @thevimff this Saturday, showcasing my nearly three decades of work documenting not just wild landscapes, but also their soundscapes — what nature has to say. All are part of my new book Seeing Silence, which is out now in both small and custom large formats. For more info, check the link in my bio.

I’m also excited to share the same night the world premiere of a new short film I made with @insigniafilms @gleiserofficial and @lennecefer. The Seekers looks at the power of nature as an outdoor classroom for spirituality. Come join us in Vancouver or online.

See @thevimff for more info. Thanks for having me, Vancouver.

Winter’s music. Nothing like the sound of skates on natural ice.

A few clear ice missions recently including one with my brother yesterday (video) and @saribehr showing off her fantastic leaps earlier (she landed them all) and one with my family four decades ago - sibling shot last.

To those moments that make us feel small.

From my @smithsonianmagazine story following the orca and herring migration in the polar night of Norway with @arctic_freediving.

I had the pleasure of sharing this story and more about water, land and action to students this week @coastfilmfestival.

Good to see you @stacyabare - thanks for your voice for wild people, places and service.
Thinking of Danny @amangeloff - and all that served.

Don’t forget to skate over and #vote today.

A 24-hour passage of time from a timeless place.
Don’t forget - there is still time to vote.

The outdoors, climate, conservation and so much more are all on the ballot.

Hello Winter…. Nice to see you again. Skis… be patient. Soon.

Chasing the memories of those family and friends that came before…
Happy Day of the Dead.

From a @natgeo story I did chasing my revolutionary granny years ago. #mexico #spirit #photography 📷 #petemcbride

Happy Halloween! One of the scariest things I’ve seen this year is the drought affecting so many communities across East Africa and beyond. Abnormal monsoon patterns have even spooked wildebeests and others wild critters that follow to migrate in reverse directions from usual.

Nonetheless, it’s always amazing to see these wild animals on the move — the Maasai Mara migration is one of the longest and largest in the world.

Shot on @sonyalpha 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 G Lens which is an incredible lens for documenting wildlife from a safe distance.

Chasing spirits in the volcanic hills of Guatemala for day of the dead— from a @natgeotravel story I did years ago following the footsteps of my grandfather who grew coffee here.

Time to Vote - flex your voice!

I vote for the folks who I think will stand up for the voiceless — often our wild friends and open spaces (like these spots pictured here) — and so much more.
And while our vote seems small, and governments seem tedious and slow, I’ve seen over and over how a handful of votes can make a difference to communities.

Years ago, I witnessed a handful of Navajo women standing up to protect the confluence inside the Grand Canyon from a billion-dollar development. With little more than their energy and dedication, they turned the tide of a vote to protect our beloved shared resource.

So remember the power of your VOTE and register today - check out @rockthevote or go directly to:

This 12x12 edition of my latest book is the same as the original, but larger and with new imagery, a fine art print, and a beautiful clamshell case. Seeing Silence shares my stories about the magic and fragility of silence and natural sounds — from the whisper of bat wings to the elephant rumbles too quiet for human ears — spanning 20 years of work covering all seven continents.

To purchase a copy, head to the link in my bio.

Forest bathing - no reel music needed - quakers are in tune.. Somewhere lost on a hill in the headwaters…

I’m speaking online tmrw at 7 PM ET for @smithsonian about the water that fuels these beauties and many more wild gems — 1500 miles toward the sea. Link in bio.

Exploring the Greatest Waterway in the West: Live Speaking Event this Week.
I am honored and excited to talk about my decade-plus work documenting the entire Colorado River Basin — from its beauties to its challenges this Wednesday at 7 PM ET for @smithsonian. Link in Bio /stories to sign up.

I’ll show unpublished work from my recent story (photos and words) on the return of Glen Canyon in the latest issue of @smithsonianmagazine featuring @lennecefer @glencanyoninstiute.

🎥 from my short film #DeltaDawn which won accolades at @banffmountainfilm and others nearly a decade ago… yet the story continues. And I keep covering it. Now the thirsty claws of a “megadrought” are reaching nationwide creating issues for energy, food, wildlife, recreation and in some places hope.
