So when I became interested in photography and further being inspired by the work that I saw of Ansel and others, it was a natural extension to go back to these places that I knew as a kid and explore them with my camera. ↗

Your camera is the best critic there is. Critics never see as much as the camera does. It is more perceptive than the human eye. ↗
