Have you ever asked yourself "What are the reasons that keep me striving in life?"

REASONS: Chapters of My Life are the reasons for why I continue to pursue a life of fulfillment and meaning. Ever since I was a child, I dreamt of adventures to the most remote corners of the world where the landscapes exceeded my imagination and the sense of adventure was only possible in movies. As I began to grow older, this dream seemed to be pushed further and further away and felt seemingly impossible to grasp. After struggling with the pressures of college, working dead end jobs, and trying to cope with my declining mental health, I turned to photography as a means of escape.

Over the past decade, photography has been the driving force in my life that pushes me to seek adventure and to truly live a life worth living. REASONS: Chapters of My Life was captured over the past ten years spanning from the Harding Icefield in Alaska to the iconic Yosemite valley.
