Musician Photos of Tim

Jan 30, 2020

Musician photo shoots are the best. Shooting pics of Tim, who obviously is a drummer, was so much fun. I love shooting photos of musicians, it's a wonderful gift to be a talented musician.

Tanzania Africa Series #5 Ngorongoro Crater

Feb 19, 2019

We left our hotel in Arusha on Wednesday afternoon to head to Karatu, where we would stay overnight before heading to the safari in the morning. We traveled down a narrow, winding, dirt road to get to the base of the Ngorongoro Crater. The landscape was absolutely breathtaking, especially during sunrise. While heading down, we had to keep our eyes peeled, as an animal could be hanging in a tree or could run out into the road at any moment. We were on the lookout for leopards ...

Tanzania Africa Series #2 Prints

Feb 14, 2019

Tanzania, Africa Series: Part 2 of 5, Printed Photos In addition to volunteering at the schools, I wanted to do something more for the children. I’m a photographer, my passion has always been photography, and the more I thought about it, I wondered if these children had ever actually seen a photograph of themselves. I decided I’d bring a Polaroid camera, snap some pics, and hand them out. I was figuring 100-200 kids, which would mean 20 packs of Polaroid film. No ...
