Greetings and welcome to my new website!

I am currently giving Zenfolio the benefit of the doubt, due to it's simplicity for the end users. It sure beats me spending three weeks trying to re-teach myself CSS, PHP, and Java.

On this website I will be displaying my artistic works that I have produced while traveling and while at home. Namely of a photographic nature. I will then try my best to issue blog posts concerning a set of photographs or events concerning a few singled out photographs, to put them into context. It is one of the few fallacies I have found with Zenfolio is that I can't have a summary of each individual photograph or galleries as a whole. Considering every photograph has a story or an interpretation, I find that a rather large hurdle.
My utmost goal with this website is to introduce people who never leave home to what foreign places I have been. To show them that the world is smaller than they realize, but at the same time larger than anyone can ever hope to comprehend. Humanity is the same, everywhere, but culture is an endless tapestry of colors. I hope that some of my relatives can experience what I have seen through my photography, as well as others. It is also a way to show our friends abroad what the American West is really like.

I myself am an undergrad student in Dallas-Fort Worth. As a overly under-occupied student, I spend my days contemplating the meaning of boredom. It's very core is dull and dreary. That, is why I travel a lot; To escape the inevitable. To flee the dark pit of mundane boredom. I've been to almost every state and several countries (which is a disappointingly short list at times). I try to bring my camera with me whenever I travel, however, due to bag size it can be difficult to get it on a plane. Last year I managed to acquire a Pelican backpack with a large compartment for camera supplies. I am able to carry my usual carry-ons and all of my camera equipment. My brand new Canon EOS 6D and my GoPro Black Edition. My previous camera was a Canon Rebel EOS, however I can not remember the specific designation.

Currently, most of my pictures come from my most recent trips. I am in the process of digging up older shist, hopefully I still have the files from older vacations. I have a lot of pictures from London and Scotland for some reason, but most of those pictures look terrible. True to their weather, we rarely had a sunny day. Poor conditions for doing photography like that.

I will also occasionally chime in with some tips, hints, and other travel advice here on my blog. So keep in touch if you would like some sound advice from the average person. Specifically on solo travel, like I do, it really helps to hear from others.

I also am willing and able to serve these photographer roles;
Weddings, Portraits, Parties, Sports, Nature & Animals, Underwater, Expeditionary photography. Or just about anything else.

My pricing is fair awesome, but competitive. Please contact me for an estimate and for scheduling.
Will travel for an included fee (varying price, distance dependent).

For international communication I speak;
English (Native),
Deutsch (Fließend, aber mein Wortshatz ist rostig.),
Español (de improviso. Soy de Tejas.),
日本語 (私はいくつかを知っている),
أنا أتعلم العربية
