For as long as I can remember, I dreamed of visiting Africa and witnessing the majestic wildlife and vast landscapes first-hand.
In 2016 that dream was realized. Since then I have traveled to Africa 3 times to photograph African wildlife in its natural habitat. I do not have the words to express how special those experiences were.
Touching the earth, smelling the grass; calls of creatures I have never before heard fill the air.
I can FEEL the elephants talking to each other.
The beauty is undeniable.
Witnessing it is life-changing.

"Time stands still as I take it all in. Tears fill my eyes as I am in a state of awe and disbelief — and simultaneously in a state of complete awareness and acceptance."
