My Travels

My favourite thing is to go where I've never been.   Drane Arbus

Travel is something I'll never grow tired of, be it discovering a new place or re-exploring a familiar place with new eyes.  Travel and photography, to me, are inextricably linked.  My preferred form of travel is backpacking.
