I'm living in Ballard(been here before it was hip) and I've had a camera in my hand since 8th grade. Growing up as a military Brat, travel just became part of "me". As a photographer, I've been hugely fortunate to actually get paid to travel! I still travel without pay--for an emotional and spiritual fill-up--and I don't see stopping. The world is still a big place, it's just easier to reach.
