Fine Art and Documentary Photographs of life in the Pine Barrens

A Glimpse into Life within the Pinelands Reserve

Living inside the western boundary of the Pinelands reserve provides a unique opportunity to observe and document the local wildlife, daily activities, and scenic landscapes. With a clean and documentary-based approach, I aim to capture the essence of this natural haven. Each day brings a new discovery, showcasing the beauty and diversity of this protected ecosystem. Through my lens, I strive to share the wonders of the Pinelands and raise awareness of the importance of preserving its natural wonders.
