My Many Loves

As a photographer, I've been fortunate to see many places around the world. I've seen the wonders of nature and the world, and some not so wondrous, where people struggle on a daily basis, just to survive.

For that reason, I don't limit myself to just one category of photography or writing. Should I pick one? Loads of people tell me yes. But my heart says "Do whatever the hell you want to do, as long as it is legal and feeds your soul. " That's what I follow - that's my Indie Spirit!
