Creating art for me is a way of interacting with the world and expressing the emotions that are given to me by those interactions.

I love photography and documentary style film making. Photography is a record of my existence as I travel all around. Exploration of nature’s beauty moves me in such a way that I have not experienced elsewhere. The photography is the motivation, and the documentation is a way of coming back later when I need a reminder of the good in the world.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in new places, I love experiencing drastically different experiences than my day to day. That comes from both meeting new people as well as going to new places. One of my favorite trips I have done so far was flying to Wyoming on a whim alone to explore the frontier. I was floored by the vastness of the quiet landscapes as well as how humble the people I met were.
What would you do with $25,000?$2,500 - Donation to my university’s crafts center for equipment and upkeep. $5,000 - Upgraded Video Camera Equipment $10,000 - Travel Budget to collect new photography in places I would not be able to go otherwise $7,500 - Investment Seed, having the remaining stored away as a backbone would be amazing.
