Among my goals for photography is to educate and inspire others to learn about wilderness ecosystems and develop a passion to protect all wild places. In 2014, I completed a 221-day solo canoe trip in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and Quetico Provincial Park. I documented all facets of this journey to share with others.
