A Refreshing Perspective On Outdoor Adventure

At some point, you may get a calling to explore the vast wilderness around you.

This is very difficult to ignore.

When I initially began hiking, I always was interested in photography and brought my camera along, but hiking was mostly a social event, a hobby that was something to do on weekends.

I had created a bucket list of the well-traveled areas that I had read about on Instagram and Facebook, mainly on the popular hiking pages or posts from friends.

After feeling that I had completed the majority of my bucket list, I took a hiatus from regularly hiking and backpacking, and explored other aspects of life.

However, after a few years, I had began to feel a very strong calling again that I needed to get back out to exploring and photographing the landscape. I especially missed photographing the night sky.

Since my earlier wave of hiking had felt mostly routine after a while, I wanted to view this new venture with a different perspective, and bring back the initial awe and excitement that I had when I first started.

During my break from hiking, I had began reading plenty of books about photography, which began to fuel a new exhilaration to get back out there.

One day, after reviewing a magazine that featured summaries of “photography workshops”, I had the idea that this workshop format was the best way to get back out explore the wilderness, while improving my photography with a refreshing perspective.

So then I began planning Expeditions, not by simply following others who have been to those places, but by creating my own Photography Expeditions of areas that I truly wanted to explore.

This page is to document the journey I had taken with this new mindset, which had become completely refreshing and exciting to me.

Hopefully, anyone reading this may be able to pick up some interesting ideas and inspirations, to apply to their own adventures.
