Go backpacking with like-minded individuals, find great places, and shoot them (the places, that is.) I hunt the remarkable unseen landscape, the rarely or never-before-photographed, and I love a challenge. I love backpacking in the wilderness, the mountains, or in the desert with two purposes: to enjoy my time in nature and, to bring back her magical moments in a box for others to enjoy.
