Welcome to the highest point in the Atlas Mountains and all of Northern Africa. Located 63 km South of the city of Marrakesh, it’s a popular addition for outdoor lovers visiting Morocco.

I drifted in and out forgetting where I was at times, when the sound of somebody being sick threw me wide awake again at 4am. I then clearly remembered where I was and decided to step out of the tent for a starlit view of Everest. I crawled out of the tent to see a stream of headlamps moving across the Khumbu icefall and the stars lighting up the mountain.

I woke up with the sun this morning to meet an adorable fitness instructor down by the bay in Chicago and she talked about her passion of fitness and what she does. In that short time frame I felt inspired by her beauty, perfect stomach and sweet manner

The Lomography X Zenit New Petzval 85mm mimics the first Petzval lens to come out of Vienna, Austria in 1840. Allowing this new lens to satisfy photographers and filmmakers alike to create unique imagery!

Getting back to editing images from Ireland and falling love all over again...I have to separate the next couple days up in order to not overwhelm you with images of beautiful landscape.

There was no doubt I had found the most beautiful place in the world. Visiting Dingle, Ireland was one of my favorite travel experiences ever.

Last fall I was on a wonderful trip to Switzerland with my Fiancé when we decided to spend a day traveling up to Mt. Pilatus, which is in the middle of the Swiss Alps. It was probably one of my favorite scenic views I have ever seen! 

The ability to quickly get on the road with my photo gear has always been important to me and so are the bags I trust. I get a lot of questions about my go-to gear and I thought I'd start with one of my favorites, my LowePro Fastpack 250.
