My Thoughts, Ramblings and Ideas
Welcome to the journal, not quite a blog, not quite a notebook. Just a quiet space where I can put words to the images I create and share stories from the road. Sometimes it's a reflection, sometimes a glimpse behind the scenes, and sometimes it's just the thoughts that surface after a long hike, a quiet camp, or time spent off the beaten path.
Think of it as a place to wander, through landscapes, ideas, and whatever else the journey stirs up.
