Photography
I am well traveled and have spent the last 25 years of my life traveling to places unknown. Learning about cultures, religion and the lifestyles of people around the world. Travel Photography is something I hold close to my heart. I believe that traveling is the most inexpensive education and my camera is a save button for my eyes.
