The Cathedral
My girlfriend and I were hiking in the smokies when I came across the most beautiful scene. This particular hike just kept giving and giving, and the smokies have a feel and vibrance unlike any other. The year before was my first year doing landscape photography, and my first hike on my first trail was a life defining moment. The mist, the color, the sound of the water, it all drew me in, and I felt like I was doing what I really wanted to be for the first time. I'm traveling as much as I can across the country, but there's nothing like that memory of the first place you ever go.
