ENDANGERED: Fine Art & Photography Contest 2018 Submission.

After spending most of my life since 2002 photographing events, landscapes, live performances, portraits, street life, weddings, and whatever caught my eye, I began to focus more and more on nature and eventually chased down a childhood dream in 2015, landing me in the Amazon rainforest of northern Peru. It was there that I decided to do something more meaningful with my passion.

Using the timeless medium of photography to preserve moments of our ever-changing and declining environment in images, I hope to instill viewers with an enhanced appreciation of the natural world and all living things. I want to empower people to do their best to keep this planet clean, growing, and healthy for all of us for generations to come. As the stewards of this planet it is imperative that we practice and pass on a lifestyle and mindset that nurtures, protects, and gives voice to the voiceless.
