My Bio
|
I grew up in one of those typical American middle class families whose financial obligations and frivolous spending sprees never seemed to include funds for a proper vacation. Going to Disneyland a couple of times as a kid counts for very little as you enter your teenage years and your friends around the block are gearing up for skiing in Chamonix, hiking in the Bavarian Alps, or snorkeling and volcano exploration in Hawaii. Unable to fathom a life unlike that of my parents, I imagined weeks at large overseas to be largely out of reach and forever over budget. Plodding along in this frame of mind, I finished college and entered the working world. At 25, I finally amassed the modest wealth required to take that real vacation that I'd been so sadly, tragically denied in my acne-prone youth. First Hawaii, then Western Europe. One day Egypt and Syria. Next? Who knows. My photographic memories of all eventual expeditions will be for show and sale on Blurb though. Of that much I’m sure.
