My Interests

not doing this for the success. or for the money. i'm not doing this to tell you the story. to climb to the roof, and stare down realizing how small we really are. this is for a better breath to be taken. for a hug to be shared. this is for smelling the trees and documenting exactly what that memory felt like. and mostly, this is for a feeling that words could never express. to travel the land, and capture every second of it.to read more thoughts, adventures, artwork, and photos, please check up on birdsneedtrees.tumblr.com

for any questions, or if you would like to set up a photoshoot, haircut, art exchange/purchase, or adventure while we are on the road, please send an email to [email protected]
