There’s something to be said for getting lost…especially if you find yourself with a good friend and a camera. It’s a great way to explore and rewarding to see what you’ll find through the lens when there’s no particular agenda directing you.

I love photographing people. They turn a great setting into something more. All of a sudden their story is introduced into the surroundings in a way that adds a vibrance and life to the image…their depth, their joys and pains, all of the mystery that lies within each other and within ourselves is now held within the image and because of that I can see myself in that place, in their shoes. (Ok, maybe a little too philosophical there.) That said, it isn’t often that I photograph nature on it’s own, but on our trip to Alaska with the family I made some exceptions. (Yes, I did throw together an impromptu couple session on the mountains above Juneau…but really, who wouldn’t?)
