My name is Chris Spiegl, I’m a Father, Traveler, Photographer, Thinker.
Twelve years ago I set my life up so the work comes with me. Right now that’s Chiang Mai, Thailand. Ask me again in spring.
I almost always have a camera within reach. Lately it’s a Leica Q3. I wanted one for years, and I’m still a little surprised it’s mine.
My goal? A life where the hotel worth the detour, the quiet back road, and the café nobody puts on a list are the rule, not the exception.
Nicole and our son William are usually just outside the frame, waiting for me to finish ‘one more photo.’ It’s rarely one.
Where to find me
- Field Notes — my writing on Substack. Photographs, fatherhood, building businesses, slow travel, and thoughts I haven’t quite finished. Start here.
- Instagram — photos & short videos in-between.
- YouTube — for longer stories and the occasional deep dive.
What I’m building
- Niyama.Academy — your online yoga Studio for all levels together with Nicole.
- BOLSTair — a travel-friendly inflatable yoga & fitness bolster.
Curious what I’m up to this month? My Now page has the latest.
