Aspiring professional nature photographer

I have had a love of photography as a hobby for many years. In my spare time, I'm a Nature, Wildlife, and Landscape Photographer. Hiking on and off trails, through streams and gullies, sometimes planned and others spur of the moment and always on my own. I enjoying kayaking and just got an inflatable one last summer, ready to go any where.
