I am rather new to the art of photography but that fact doesn't stop me from trying to capture the beauty and splendor of our planet. I find beauty wherever I travel. My volunteer work affords me the opportunity to spend several weeks a year living in and photographing some of the most interesting and exotic places in the world. I especially love capturing coastlines because they offer diversity in color, mood, architecture, weather and a host of other elements that lend to an interesting image.
