      Yes, ironicly named user. That is exactly correct. My vacation. Or, my work. Whichever you want to call it.

      Have a great trip!

      I'm using your bio as an example in web class this week.

      I'll send you GPS coordinates of the exact places I want you to shoot all my postcards.

      Kris, I am so excited for you and your trip. You are doing two things that I would like to do: travel slowly across the country by car, and do a residency at Denali. I live in Niagara Falls, NY and hope you will come by to take my photo! I think you'll find the cityscape really interesting.

I hate third person bios. It's not like someone else is writing it. I'm writing it. I like making photos of things that everyone is able to see, but probably won't make the time in their life to do so. The world is a living creature (without getting mystical) and one day, it won't be the same (without getting evangelical). These are the people, places and things I want you to see.

I was born and raised in Oklahoma and was fortunate enough to be born into a family that values travel, open thought and finding your own way.

I live and work worldwide.
