The Alabama Hills, with their rounded rock formations and eroded hills at the foot of the massive Sierra Nevada peaks, have long tempted me to visit. Seeing the first light illuminate the snowy peak of Mount Williamson as the moon set behind it sparked pure joy and happiness in me.

This was one of those moments when I realized how grateful I am to be able to pursue my dream not only as a diver underwater, but also as a photographer above the surface. Photography has always been a part of my life and has changed it dramatically as a creative for me. I will never stop capturing the world around me and telling stories with my camera.
