Nature/Travel
As part of my time on the road with various shows I've gotten to see some amazingly beautiful spots in the world. Some are recognizable and other perhaps are only beautiful to me. I share these with you in the hope that they make you stop to wonder what every day items or locations around you contain hidden beauty.

![]() Hasserot angel 1One of my favorite things that I've ever photographed. In fact I specifically went back a second time a year later to shoot it again.
