I love photography and visual art. I love to travel and enjoy bicycling and hiking. I was born in Philadelphia and now live in Washington, DC.

Traveling definitely heightens the senses, makes you feel more alive. Everything is that much more accentuated- sight, sound, smell, and other senses as well.
