In August of 2024, I underwent a 4-hour (planned) successful brain surgery to treat my epilepsy. As I sat around, lethargically, for 3 months recovering from having a golf ball-sized chunk of my brain removed, all I could think about was 1) Traveling again 2) Photographing those travels. This has fueled my passion of photography and gratitude for every opportunity I get which allows me to share my experiences, through photos, with others.
