WHY DO I HAVE A DESIRE TO TRAVEL??
THE WORLD IS BIGGER THAN CHARLOTTE
Being born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, I have grown to fall more and more in love with this city and the South. However, I know there is so much more to experience and to see as opposed to the BBQ and sweet tea that we have here.
I LOVE FOOD AND TRYING NEW THINGS
On my most recent trip to California, I was told by my buddies that I am far too easily pleased when it comes to food. That is 100% true. If I buy it, it's gonna taste good. Being able to travel to other places and eat authentic, cultural foods is pretty awesome.
PHOTOGRAPHING MY TRAVELS WITHOUT ANY PARAMETERS FROM A CLIENT IS FREEING
Don't get me wrong, I love working with other people and clients as you will see by the client testimonials down the site a little bit more, but being able to be my own critique, to make my own decisions on what is worthy to frame in my viewfinder and snap a picture is very freeing.
