CURRENT MISSION

Absorbing. There is so much to engage in and I want as much as will fit

ABOUT ME

I'm from Toronto, and currently live there. I'm a photographer and I want to see and create as much as I can.

I very much feed off of change and nervous energy. I get restless quite easily and an urge to find all the things I haven't found already. I'm infinitely curious about all the people around me. I don't have a clear grasp on what it means to focus.

PHILOSOPHY

I want people to create. I'm obsessed with change, but also the re-use of old things to make something new. I'm in love with destruction, but only when it turns into something beautiful. I don't even care if I'm involved, I just want it to happen. If I can help out, even better.

Otherwise, I just try not to be a dick. I feel like that's a major goal in life. Daily.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to meet some others. One day if I ever own a domicile with more than one bed and floor space that isn't comparable to a storage locker, I would very much like to help someone else out in a town new to them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Only a few times, but both have been more than welcoming. I am incredibly grateful to all the people I've met and traveled with. Excited for the future

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Any time I can get a chance to go out into the natural world I'm happy. City dwelling is great, but you lose your sense of scale. The world seems small, and you seem big. Anytime I can correct that by looking at what happens when, we don't happen, I think it's pretty amazing. Most recently the French countryside. I used to travel a lot within Ontario, but that memory is getting older now.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you would be interested in learning something photographic I would be more than happy to help out. I've studied photography, both formally and informally over the past 5 years. Experienced in both digital and analog techniques.
