"I grew up near the end of a rural road in the forest in Humboldt county.
I've always liked hiking, sunsets and exploring the outdoors in general, so
when I got a camera photography fit pretty seamlessly into my life. I've
since become a total photography addict. I can get out of the car planning
to wander around for a few and take some pics only to lose myself in it
enough to hike for hours, often doing the entire return to the car in the
dark.
I'm
still coming to fully understand getting a great exposure, but tend not to
have a problem finding beautiful scenery, as most of the places I've lived
have been surrounded by it. Most of my photographs are expansive shots that
capture natural scenes uninterrupted by man-made structures because I find
great romance in wild untamed nature and exploration. I've lived in northern
California my whole life and still have so much left to explore." |
