Surfing, Photography, Travel
When I get time off, I try to plan a surf/photography trip. I've lived all over Florida's East Coast, Costa Rica, and Hawaii, in order to have access to the waves I need, and the scenery that is unique and beautiful enough to exhibit in my photos. I am in the process of planning my European surf tour sometime next year!
