CURRENT MISSION

Through my work, let this world speak for itself.

ABOUT ME

I am a photographer based out of the BEAUTIFUL central coast of California, and am married to my BEAUTIFUL wife Caitlin. We work here in the summers and spring and try to travel during winters and fall. The rumor is that we are a pretty kick back couple. We enjoy and love all those who surround us. We want to explore and experience the world and the people in it.

There are few things that deserves anger and much that requires love.

PHILOSOPHY

Here are a few quotes that reflect my thoughts on life:

I am blessed so that I may bless others.

A man's greatest wisdom is love.

Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.

*We* are the music makers... and *we* are the dreamers of dreams.
-Willy Wonka

Well, it's a beautiful day and my good friend has a patch of land with a river running through it. There are trees that lean with the river and the afternoon sun. This is where I am now, raking leaves....... listening to Kanye West.
-Adam Franz

The past is beautiful like the darkness between the fireflies.
-Mason Jennings

laughter is timeless, imagination has no age and dreams are forever!
-Walt Disney

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My hope is to be here to help better the experience of those who share my same passion for travel and in turn better my experiences as well.

Interests

I love anything outside: hiking, camping, climbing, disc golf, bike rides, surfing. Daydreaming, stargazing, taking photographs, working on art, trying to do something I don't really know how, traveling, family, friends, taking naps, sitting in the spa, by a fire or in the sun. I enjoy simplifying life, a good flick, snapple facts, food, music, art, learning, hand made things, a good beer, cooking, fireworks, Ms. Pacman, and caddie...my cat.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This life that I'm living....

Teach, Learn, Share

I found super useful to buy an adapter to upload your images from your camera straight onto your ipod/phone. By doing this, it is like having a external hard drive to store images without having to carry your computer around. This is also a good way to back up your images, because as we all know, the camera doesn't always make it home with us! hope that helps.
