Photography – Seattle

My origins story is that I started taking photographs of the last day of school in grade school. Then in Junior High it became the way I would talk to people. In high school and college it evolved into something more. I started to see \"life\" in photographs and how I\'d set it up. Photography helped me change my perspective. As much as I love landscape photography I also aim my camera toward architecture, nautical, and botanical themed subjects...really anything interesting and whimsy will end up on my camera. So, that\'s how \"I had this thought\" started it\'s where whimsy and the outdoors meet. When it comes to photography I fully believe it doesn\'t matter what kind of camera you have, but it\'s about that moment and why you are choosing to take a picture of it.
