I used to hate taking photos while on vacation, but as I have gotten older I have found it almost therapeutic to capture these moments, even if for no other reason than populating my computers wallpaper slideshow.

Whether it was exploring China’s Forbidden City, or fashioning a tripod out of wallets and phones in Seattle to take the photo above, I’m always moving through my adventures looking to add some icons to my photo album.

I’m doing what I love, it’s something I’m drawn to and I can’t turn if off. Everywhere I go I see compositions and light, causing my mind to wonder off into the possibilities. My musical friends say the world is their symphony and every footstep a new beat. Their crescendos and my compositions stem from the same source: passion.
