I developed an interest in photography at a young age, often following my father around while he took pictures. From that I learned the basics and purchased my first camera while still in high school. I learned more through reading and trial and error. My first formal training came in 2013 when I took a basic photography class at a community college.
During high school I became fascinated with the freighters that sailed on the lakes. The boats intrigued me and for a time I wanted to work on them. My career took me down a different path, but I never lost my interest in the boats.
In 2011 I combined my two interests, loading my camera in my car and chasing the boats around the lakes.
I hope to highlight the hardworking ships and crews that call the Great Lakes their office. They work long hours in conditions that can be dangerous and I would like to bring a little recognition to what they do.
