I spent nearly 30 years of my life in Tallahassee, Florida. A place that still feels comfortably like home yet distantly in my past. Over the last 4 years I’ve lived nomadically on the road, which feels a bit surreal to even put into text. No permanence, no consistency, no feeling of… home. Sometimes we have to let ourselves get a bit lost to find out who we truly are.

While there is a lack of routine, it also lets me explore whatever it might be that calls to me. I’ve driven from the tip of the Arctic Ocean to Newfoundland. Was I looking for photographs or myself? The answer is probably somewhere in the middle and I’m still unsure if I found either of them! What I do know is that while the life style lacks a bit of “home,” it’s made me realize that home can be defined in more ways than 4 walls and shelter. It can be the place you feel safe wresting your head at night, or where your most loved people are, or maybe it’s where you hold the most precious memories.

Over the last 4 years people often ask me where I’m traveling from, or where is home? Sometimes my answer has been pointing at my 4runner, Roscinante (Rosc for short), sometimes it’s been simply saying that I’m [originally] from Florida. After this long, I don’t think I have a concrete answer but I do know I’ve learned more about myself than I ever could while I stayed '“home”.

My Photography Journey

My passion certainly did not start out with only landscapes. Like many photographers, I dabbled with a handful of things: people, places, concerts, studios, food, animals, and nature. I spent roughly 4 years capturing anything and everything with the intention to develop my skills and enjoy the art of shooting. By the end of 2015, something changed.

I took my third trip to Zion to visit family out west. The genuine joy from hiking through the snow and witnessing the world around me is incredibly energizing. Turning off my phone, disconnecting from everything, and just taking in the majesty of what is right below our feet. It left me breathless. I asked myself – “How can I capture this feeling?” It is at that very moment that I knew I wanted to try my absolute best to share that experience with the world.

Landscape photography personally drives me to see things I may have never knew existed. It wakes me up at ungodly hours in the morning and urges me to appreciate the world that is around me – even when I am not shooting. It is mostly what has driven me to live nomadically, to explore what there is to see out the world. Landscape photography has driven me to discover so much of myself as well.

My photography is changing though, but I’m still a bit unsure of where it’s going. Over the last year I’ve found myself being inspired by different things. Images with less grandiose presentation and focusing more on the mundane or unseen. Photographing at more normal hours of the day, appreciating a scene for exactly what it is instead of what I wish it were to be. As of 2025 I’m exploring these new paths and you’ll clearly see a shift in the work I’ve posted here on my website. Some of it will appear familiar, while some might not even look like my work.

I can’t exactly grow as a photographer if I had figured it all out before I was 40 huh? That also sounds quite boring. The unknown is exciting, even if I’m a bit unsure of where I’m headed!
