For as long as I can remember, there’s been two constants in my life. The first is a lingering unsettledness beneath my feet. The other, a genuine lack of enthusiasm for authority.

This has lead to a life rich in questionable decisions and delinquent behaviors.

Long before picking up my first camera, I was no stranger to knowing and exceeding my limits. As an adult, it’s progressed into the realm of iconoclasm. Never have I believed in the “American Dream” or notions of dollars and cents success.

Oscar Wilde famously wrote “To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all” and so, I’m choosing to live. This has brought both personal triumphs and tragedies along with the best friends I could have asked for. If all we get is one life, please believe I’m living mine unapologetically in full effect.
