Want to know more about me? You’re in the right spot!
I am a native Coloradian who recently discovered the world of Landscape Photography! In April 2022 I bought my first DSLR camera and since then I have thoroughly enjoyed heading out on random photography trips to hopefully capture the beauty of the state I live in. I have learned tons about photography in the last year and there’s still so much to learn. It’s exciting and I can’t wait to see what I can capture in the future years.
I was born and raised in Peyton, CO and lived there until June 2023 when I moved to Crawford, CO. The western slope is home to an amazing variety of landscapes from the mighty San Jaun mountain range to the canyon country on the western border of Colorado. It provides an immense opportunity for landscape photography and I am absolutely thrilled to be able to enjoy that.
My passion started for photography from using my cell phone camera. I took tons of photos and realized I really enjoyed it. I used my phone and learned how to use it to its max potential and after a year or two of that I decided it was time to buy my first real camera. I bought the Canon rebel T5 and learned how to use a DSLR. It was fun learning all the tricks of the trade and getting those photos I always dreamed of. I haven’t taken any courses but have been self taught using Youtube. I have a long bucket list and slowly I’ve been knocking shots out! It’s been a blast and it’s awesome seeing where photography has already taken me! Photography is just a hobby for me and it will probably stay that way as it is the perfect thing to be able to get out in nature and take a break from the regular day to day activities.
At the moment I work a trucking job. I haul logs from the logging areas in the mountains to a sawmill in Montrose, CO. I am on the road many hours a day and drive by some of Colorado’s best scenery! It gives me an amazing opportunity to capture landscapes while I’m working my job! Obviously driving a big rig I can’t pull over quite anywhere I want to grab photos but when the opportunity presents itself you better bet I’m going to grab whatever photos I can!
One of my goals as a photographer is to bring glory to God through my photos. God has created a absolutely stunning world for us to enjoy and He deserves all the credit!
The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. ~Psalms 19:1
