My love of photography started back in 2018 visiting Japan. The architecture and everything about the country visually set me into a sensory overload and fanned the flame for this journey into photography that has only grown in the years since and into other areas of interest including astrophotography. When planning my trip to Japan, I knew I wanted to bring my camera so I could remember my time with friends experiencing and exploring a new culture. Since then, I have planned trips with photography featuring prominently in selecting a new place to go and I truly enjoy that shift in priorities while also enjoying these new places I've visited thanks to my love of getting behind the lens.
