I am a self taught photographer whose love of travel grew out of the stories I would read as a child. I wanted to see and visit them all! As time passed, I knew that I didnt want to buy trinkets everywhere I went, but instead wanted to show others the amazing things I saw and experienced. I tend to be drawn to water and any associated areas.
It will come as no surprise to anyone that I feel most at home in the water (Pisces...) and as such, many of my travels are built around access to some sort of water. Everything from surfing to scuba diving. On the flip, or land side, I am completely enamored with racing, of any sort. As a child I was fascinated with motorbikes and horses, as an adult many of my hobbies and trips leading up to now have involved any and all combinations of water, racing and most recently, horses.
I like to share my passion with others and will talk to anyone who is interested in learning more about photogrpahy in general or underwater photography specifally.
