What an amazing world we live in.

 

After graduating from college, I developed a sense of wanderlust and decided to set out and see as much of this planet as I could.  My travels have taken me from the ranges of the Himalayan Mountains to the bustling streets of Tokyo, from the arid desolation of the sub-Sahara to the vibrant shops and restaurants of the Champs-Elysees.  Throughout these journeys I have experienced beauty and majesty, horror and desperation, absurdity, loneliness and family.

 

I very much wish that you could plug into my brain, see what I have seen, taste what I have tasted, experience what I have experienced.  But I suppose the best I can do is share some photos.

 

Coming from a fine art background, I try to capture images that visually stimulate but also tell a story.  As you go through these photographs, I hope that they paint a broader picture of the world that you and I and billions of others share.  I hope that they reinforce the overlooked truth that all places and all people and all aspects of creation have meaning, purpose and relevance.

 

Enjoy!
