Piece description from the artist
Philadelphia was founded in 1682 by William Penn, having established the provinces of Pennsylvania the prior year.
The layout was intended to be easy to navigate, in stark contrast to the streets of London, where Penn was born. To this day, the city retains its 339 year-old grid system, packed with one-lane cobblestone and pedestrian side streets.
At the end of my visit to the birthplace of America, the setting sun cast a final warm glow on the 1776 flag.
In the moments before dawn, just before the sun spills over the horizon and across the landscape, I always smile with anticipation as I wait for the show to begin.
I savor the days when I’m alone in nature, witnessing the world in all its perfection and capturing those fleeting moments of natural beauty.
I love the craft of photography and the entire process of earning a photo that makes me proud- even the disappointing days when my shutter doesn’t click once. The white-out blizzards, stormy nights, and grueling hikes are always worth the dazzling golden sunrises, crimson last gasps of sun at day's end, and the crystal clear night skies staring out into infinity.
It’s all a humble reminder that nature is always in charge, and no two days are the same.
Ultimately, I’m just a guy who loves to see the world, appreciate its beauty and attempts to do it justice with my lens.
I hope you enjoy my work as much as I have enjoyed bringing it to you.
