CURRENT MISSION

Adventure!

ABOUT ME

i make butterflies for a living. it's hard to think of anything better than spending the day hiking around and photographing beautiful places. i live for warm weather and the sweet scents of nature.

PHILOSOPHY

I recently ended my career as a working stiff in favor of self employment as an artist. The philosophy I'm trying to live by now is simple and can be summed up in one quote:

“Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action” -Benjamin Disraeli

i mostly read audiobooks these days. i enjoy sci-fi and non-fiction, and also listening to educational material like university lectures through itunes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the most amazing thing i've done is liberate myself from my office day job to pursue my dream of making things for a living. i feel more free and successful than i've ever been, and i know this is just the beginning.

as for learning, i think that's what we're all here for, right?

Teach, Learn, Share

i'm decent with a camera and would enjoy giving anyone pointers on getting better shots (don't look at my currently posted photos as an example of my skill, those are many years old!).
