Photography is an expression of yourself; what you do, the things you experience and obviously what you see. In essence it is an art and with any art, the more effort and emotion you put into it, the more is expressed in your medium. Thus hopefully the more people will understand the feelings and thoughts you convey.

I grew up visiting Yosemite and Tahoe and have a great love for the outdoors. I climb rocks, I take photos, I contemplate life.. I am philosopher, realist and I exist in this world to experience and understand life.

I am a student of life and currently learning how to explore the world. The outdoors is my life and capturing it onto a medium is something I am lucky to be able to do.

I enjoy living a simplistic life with the least amount of pleasentries. My ultimate goal in life is complete happiness :)
