Photography – Portland

I recently moved from Gainesville, Florida to earn my MPA at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon. The road trip alone has given me a great appreciation for the beautiful world around me. Spending five days driving cross-country offers plenty of opportunity for some excellent photographs. In the short time I have lived in Portland, I have used my spare time to explore the city and the surrounding trails and parks with my camera in hand. Photography has a powerful way of connecting my sense of adventure and wonder with the longing I have for my friends and family back in Florida. My aim is to inspire and empower others to seek great moments. Wanderlust is often evoked by a covetous appreciation for the vast world that someone else has explored. I want to offer those images that will make a person jump in the car and explore his or her own universe of monumental sights and creative experiences. Through the lens of my camera, I want to bring the excellence of life to the focus of others.
