In 2011, I went on my first real trip by myself: a post-graduation trip to see carnivorous plants across the southeast. I was unemployed and broke, and took photos with a then-6 year old 5mp camera.

I posted those pictures on flickr, and while I didn't realize it was happening, I've inadvertently documented my developing passion for nature, conservation, and photography via this site over the years.

If you enjoy these photos, please take a moment to consider giving to one of the many conservation organizations that are working to ensure that these natural places continue to exist in the future!
