Where have you ended up in the name of photography?  More important, where did you start from?

Photography takes me everywhere. And the best part is, I never have to go there alone.

I had to post this cause I was checking out my map on the wall and I've marked where photography has taken me.  My full time photography job is aerial photography.  I started in Maryland and photography has moved me to Nevada.

I've also been able to travel to every state in the continental US (48) ...  and Hawaii.

I've also been able to travel and photograph in Venezuala, Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina, Paris France and Italy.

So photography has not only allowed me to meet some great people but I've been blessed to have worked in some really cool areas.

Oh and in debt at times ...  But now that money is steadily flowing in, my debt is going going gone!

To a place i've dreamed of my entire life. I am in a place in life where i'm doing what I love and getting paid for it. I've only been shooting as a professional since Dec. last year. I have shot with some very beautiful and wonderful models thanks to a man that took a chance on me( Pavel) and wasn't afraid to take me under his wing to learn my skill and make it work for me. Where has it taken? Hell i'm just getting started.

Peace,

Kris
