Photography

I have been taking photographs since 2009. I enjoy taking pictures to remember a particular moment in my life. There is just something about looking through that little window and seeing a whole new world that captivates me each time. My favorite topics are landscape, nature, and the night sky. Please see more photos on my photo gallery site and ViewBug.
