I've loved taking pictures since I was a kid. A photo makes the best souvenir of any place, event, or age. Capturing the perfect moment in space and time is emotional and deeply satisfying. As a nature fan and hiker, I shoot a lot of vast landscapes, as well as close-ups of plants, animals, and rocks. I also enjoy styles like astrophotography, time-lapse, and panoramic shots that challenge me to really understand the tools and techniques.
