On July 1, 2006 I left my corporate job, setting out on a photographic exploration of the world. I sold, gave away or tossed almost everything I owned with the motto: “if I can’t carry it, I don’t need it.” I am homeless, car-less and stuff-less; an amazing feeling.
My adventure is open-ended in duration and flexible in location.
I am wide open to detours and opportunities. I am traveling down to Cuzco, Perú next to get a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate and start teaching English, a portable skill that will support me as I continue to travel. Along the way, I will create a photographic record of my life outside the American Dream, writing articles and a book about this adventure.
My style is photojournalistic, my artistic sense gravitates to what is real in the moment. My vision is stitching together the pieces of life, the people, places and things that make each moment unique and true. I started getting serious photography five years ago. I took classes with a local darkroom, workshops with National Geographic photographer Sam Abell, the Photographic Center Northwest in Seattle, and earned a certificate in photography through the University of Washington extension program. I continue to learn from every subject and from every photograph.
I have exhibited at the University of Washington and Cascade Academy.
