Photography, travel

 I love photography because it allows me to pursue both my hobby and my career. It allows me to be both technical and artistic. It helps me showcase how I see the world, and how I want to see the world. It is simply everything all at once, and I love that. 

With regards to travel, I have been to a few countries but nothing comes close to home!  Whether it is the beautiful beaches and rocky Atlantic coastlines, the mountains or the abundance of wildlife in the many National Parks, our great history, mouth watering cuisine and we have a vast natural and cultural heritage to show-off to the world! What more could one ask for?
