"In my 39 years being an editor at Yankee Magazine I have worked with dozens and dozens of photographers on hundreds of stories. At the very top of these is the work of Dom & Jarrod when they replicated the travels of Henry David Thoreau into the Maine Wilderness. For 18 days, Dom & Jarrod not only paddled and carried canoes and gear through rough terrain for miles, they also caught the happiness, fatigue and danger experienced by an expedition of Native Americans, wilderness advocates, and Maine Guides who recreated Thoreau’s epic journey.  The endurance, toughness, and skill of Giant Giants became one of the most acclaimed photo essays Yankee has published in my decades here at the magazine.

Their work shows their ability to adapt to unexpected conditions, a tenacity to get the shots no matter the difficulty, and most of all, their innate sense of story telling. There are many talented photographers who know how to capture perfectly composed shots. What has always impressed me about the work of Dom & Jarrod is you can see the heart they put into the story they see unfolding.  That is rare and is to be celebrated.”
