Wildlife Photography
As an amateur wildlife photographer, I spend my free time exploring places where the general public doesn't go.
Most of the time, I'm flipping rocks or hiking trails to find my favorite subjects to photograph which are mostly reptiles and amphibians.
I do, however spend a lot of time in the ocean and in freshwater springs getting videos and photographs of the amazing wildlife that dwells there.
This hobby has lead me to look at the world in a new way and introduced me to things and places I never thought I would see.
