The world of creating art through the lens has single handedly changed my life. It's changed how I view architecture, people, light, and the world around me. It's made me slow down and take time to appreciate things on an entirely different level. It's allowed me to meet and talk with people I never would have had the opportunity to interact with. It's continuously pushing me to learn, grow, and stay hungry. I am constantly learning each time i shoot.

Finally, it's taught me this - the more you create the better you become. 

When you truly love what you do, you're ok working late on a friday or going to bed early so you can shoot at sunrise. Days blend together and there is no week or weekend - simply time to get things done. i am constantly evolving and changing in order to find that perfect balance between work and play.  My goal is to create a lifestyle where I can work anywhere in the world that allows me flexibility, working on my own terms, and above all doing something I love. If I can continue to work toward that, I'm a happy man. 

life is too short to do things you don't love. We live in the most opportunistic time imaginable and a lot of people are wasting time complaining, comparing themselves to others, and blaming their issues on other people. If you don't like the way things are. Change it. It really is that simple. 

Start with gratitude. If you're not happy where you are now, you'll never be happy somewhere else. The "If I have ____, then I'll be happy" mentality is dangerous. be happy with what you have now and enjoy the journey. When you're grateful for what you have at this moment, everything else will fall into place.
