I am a photographer who enjoys shooting mostly landscapes and nature, but I like to experiment occasionally with various other types of photography. Mainly shoot in the Smoky Mountains and other parts of East Tennessee, but am liable to shoot anything, anywhere, anytime. I usually spend my vacations going to various photography rich landscapes such as other National Parks, the Great Lakes, beaches, etc. I also love hiking which ties in well with my love for landscape/nature photography. The majority of the weight in my backpack is my camera gear...but if I couldn't photograph, I probably wouldn't hike...and if I couldn't hike, I probably wouldn't photograph. I love them together.
