I'm a married, father of a two kids, 22 and 19 and have a passion for travel and immersing myself in new cultures. Photography is not only my profession, it is my obsession. There's nothing better for me than to see the world through my camera. It is my passport and excuse to experience things at a deeper level, than would otherwise be possible. I'm told I sometimes snore. You can view my work at, www.tonydemin.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing in order to challenge my comfort level a bit. As Americans we tend to be a bit isolated from each other and tend to perpetuate this by traveling in safe, little swarms where all of our needs will be met with the snap of a finger. I'd like to step out of that comfort zone, in order to experience a more authentic and local view of the places I visit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell you how I see the world through my camera and vision. I'm not great at discussing which camera is better than another, because I find that to be beside the point in my photography.
