Do you remember the moment you realized what you're meant to be doing here on earth? I do. It was a couple of years ago, September of 2019 to be exact. I was scheduled to be out in Washington for a work trip when I was still living the corporate life. In fact, I had to spend my 35th birthday sitting in work meetings all day, what fun. To make the trip not completely suck, I stayed a few extra days after work meetings were over. I had zero plans and nothing scheduled. All I knew is that I wanted to explore as much ground as possible, capturing every moment I could. Wow, to say I was blown away is an understatement. At that time, the only real photography trip I had taken was to Cali. Most of my photos to that point were taken locally in the NC area. I spent the weekend exploring Seattle, Mt. Rainier, North Cascades, and Friday Harbor. It was this trip and these photos that reaffirmed my love affair with photography and I knew from that moment on, this is what I was meant to be doing.
