I've loved the mountains since I was old enough to know I was there. Maybe it's because I come from a beachy town, but I choose to believe that they have earned my love.

Any other comments:
These photos were taken on the many family vacations that I've been lucky enough to have gone on. Many of the photos here are mine, but it is worth noting that older photos are most likely not mine, but are instead photos I have collected from my mother and father. As for determining locations, I can generally provide GPS coordinates if EXIF data was enabled, and if not, I have developed a variety of techniques to pinpoint where photos were captured.
If you are ever at all curious and want to ask a question about a camera, a location, my experience somewhere, or want to double-check your usage rights, by all means, feel free to contact me! I genuinely love nerding out about stuff like this.
