Native Coloradan Peter McBride has always been passionate about flying, particularly low and slow. That aerial bug helped lure him into a self-taught photography career that has taken him on assignment to over 60 countries for National Geographic, Smithsonian, and Outside magazines. His photography, writing, and video work have earned him accolades internationally, and in 2007 he was awarded a Knight Fellowship
for professional journalists at Stanford University. When not on assignment, Peter can be found on his
family's ranch cutting hay or "chasing water" (irrigating), or around his home in nearby Basalt, Colorado,
where he serves as a town councilman.
