What is your favorite type of art to create?

Landscape Photography and photography of abandoned structures and storm structures of the rural parts of the country.

Where do you find inspiration?

After coming out of being homeless and finally moving back to my hometown in Minnesota, i didn't know what to do with myself. So I bought a cheap dslr camera off of Craigslist and started taking photographs of the beauty around me that I found a new appreciation for. I started to share my captures and formed a following. Ive been inspired by inspiring other since. Inspiration in the beauty of things often overlooked and I love to get inspired just by the act of inspiring others with my work.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would invest in new gear and travel expenses to expand my opportunity to inspire more people.
