Inspiration 

Sitting in an empty, four- walled office was killing my soul. I longed to see more of this world and seek the truth through my lens. I wanted to see people from all walks of life in this forever rapidly changing world. I yearned to bare witness of extraordinary people in their everyday activities to places where even soldiers would fear to tread. So I packed my heart into my suitcase and my securities into my camera lens. I was going to climb and click my way around this planet. Now Several years into this adventure, I share with you my life. I get to wake up inside an award winning photograph everyday. My photos are my process of bearing witness to this world.
