About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want something else to get me through this semi-charmed kinda life...

ABOUT ME

Travelling solo through Europe at the moment. Currently in Slovenia. Started in South Africa in March. See my website for travel details and photos. Photography is not just a job, it's a way of life. People always ask me if I'm on vacation or working and the answer is really both. For me, the two can't be separated. You will very rarely catch me without a camera of some sort. Life happens in front of you without warning and you have to be ready.

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing is inherently good or bad - it just is...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None. I'm brand new at this, and I'm intrigued to say the least. Who should I stay with first...?!

Interests

Photography, aviation, cooking. Dolphins and whales. Travelling and meeting people and learning everything I can get my hands on. Creating photo stories of people involved in everyday life. I especially like meeting other photographers, writers, and artists no matter what their experience. It's all about the process and being inspired by others.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a variety of music on my iPod that runs the gamut from Bach to Green Day to Shania Twain. I even have Arabic and Italian language lessons loaded. The only books I've read in the last six months are Lonely Planet travel books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experiencing Malaria in Tanzania is probably the one thing not everybody has done, but I've done and seen many amazing things...

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have something creative, interesting or fun to share with me - maybe you're an artist, a chef or race motorcycles - I'd love to photograph you doing whatever it is you do, and there's a good chance you may get some nice photos of yourself.
