I love writing and photography and the natural world that inspires them both. I'm working on getting as lost as I can in the beauty before it is completely wiped clean by the madness of man.

On tour I'm finding out that I am half gypsy, 40% vagabond, and 10 house cat.

I want to build a treehouse village connected by bridges in the woods by my house so my friends have a place to stay.

Call me an extremist but killing a few hundred million people seems like the sort of method that might have unintended consequences.
