I’ve always seen the world a little differently than most people. You could call me the “Cockeyed Pessimist”—until I get behind a camera and then I see beauty and wonder almost everywhere I turn.

You might say that my camera has saved me from myself, and you wouldn’t be wrong. Join me on my journey to find joy and awe in a world that is tragically short of both.
