Music photographer based out of Portland, OR. Am travelling around the country right now looking to photograph as much live music as I can. Ideally looking for a place(hopefully with a bed, but also welcome couches, futons, cushions, or a nice floor) to lay my head and possibly keep some camera gear safe while I am out and about, as I cant bring my camera with me to EVERY show(unfortunate, I know). As a guest, I am incredibly tidy, clean up after myself, and try to carry my life in one bag, so I won't take up much space.
I appreciate and understand all walks of life, have a passion for music(in general, there isnt a genre I dont identify with), and make lots of silly puns and dumb jokes.
Slowly making my way around the world and even more slowly writing a book about it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I understand that human connection is much more valuable than shelling out 80 dollars a night to sleep in a bed that more likely has bed bugs, than doesn't. I believe that if you put more trust in your fellow human, they will surpise you with their generosity, and I am looking to no longer be surprised. I'm here because I appreciate people and working out an agreement far more than I appreciate check-out contracts and security deposits.
I'm here because I know you know this lifetime is too small to spend in one place.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have managed to photograph just about every one of my favorite bands, by the age of 19. I think that's pretty amazing.
