Though based in Annapolis, Maryland, I travel for about 3 months per year and have been to over 50 countries; my photography is closely linked to my travels. I've had a lot of opportunities to exercise my interest by virtue of having lived in both the Netherlands and Hawaii, both exceptionally photogenic places. In my travels I try to capture a sense of place as well those evocative moments that form our strongest memories, from landscapes to candid street portraits. Travel photography of this sort has multiple goals: a documentary one and an emotional one.
