ABOUT ME

I'm a full time student and a freelance photographer for a local magazine. I chase light and dream of visiting (and photographing!) so many places around the world. When I do travel, I try to fully immerse myself in my destination's culture. I don't want to be a mere tourist, so genuinely experiencing a city is really important to me. I get a lot of joy out of meeting people and spending time getting to know them.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like so many movies of all genres and there are so many that are still on my "to watch:" list. My favorites include: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Girl Interrupted, Waking Life, American Beauty, The Town, Adaptation, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy (the Swedish version), The Usual Suspects, and The Nightmare Before Christmas

Music is another hard one to narrow down. I'm not really a fan of country, but I love music that makes me feel funky. Fiona Apple, Modest Mouse, Biggie, Guster, MGMT, Lana Del Rey, Outkast, Etta James

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love the ocean, so swimming through an underwater cave made of coral reef with all kinds of colorful sea creatures is always an incredible experience for me.
