Biography

A while ago I gave myself the goal of visiting all of the national parks in the NPS system- a goal I share with my wife (which makes things much easier!). It was on our first big parks trip that I found that photography was to become more than a casual hobby for me.

Now we're nearing the halfway mark on our list and I'm excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone.

3 things you should have in your photographer's bag:

  1. Lens cleaning equipment
  2. Tripod (or GorillaPod)
  3. Extra memory cards

Top 3 parks everyone should visit:

  1. Conyonlands
  2. Cuyahoga
  3. Congaree
