When I was very young, I would spend days roaming the Appalachian hard-wooded forests nearby my home. I would wander around in the woods for 4-6 hour periods, completely losing track of time.
Looking back, I realize that growing up in the woods—being surrounded by it—created the groundwork for my gratitude that I have toward the natural world around us. Today, that appreciation is greater than ever and growing, which ultimately inspires me to get outside and expose the beauty around us through photography.
Landscape & nature photography to me is the perfect blend of adventure, mental well-being, and ultimately creativity.
