Mountains

Mountains were the first type of landscape that called to me when I initially got interested in photography over a decade ago, and they continue to be a source of inspiration and renewal. There’s nothing quite as life-affirming as rising well before dawn and trekking to a remote viewpoint to watch the first blush of morning light kiss the face of a towering peak.
