Newberry Square

Since 2014, I’ve learned a lot about photography. I went through more cameras, lenses, and random pieces of gear than I probably needed, but every step taught me something.

The photo on the upper left was one of my first fox encounters. I used to get up before daylight, stake out a den in the middle of town, and capture whatever moments I could before the foxes turned in for the day.

I didn’t know a simple fascination would turn into a career, I just loved doing it. Jump to 2026, and you can see how far my photography has come with the same subject.

I hope this encourages anyone working on their craft. Don’t compare your work to what I’m creating today. Compare it to where I started, and where I eventually arrived years later. Growth takes time, and anyone can get here if they give themselves the time to develop.

Take one extra deep breath today
And notice how beautiful life is.

Land of the free
Home of the brave.

Cheers to the next 250 years!
