Hello! My name is Russell, a passionate nature and wildlife photographer based in Raleigh, NC. I really enjoy hiking and exploring with my family. You'll see a lot of pictures of the North Carolina mountains, forests and wildlife from me, as well as pictures of my exploration in other interesting areas of the state. I love North Carolina, but I also love mountains and if I get to experience these things with the people I love, I'm happy. Hopefully, along the way I can share some interesting experiences through photography. At the moment, I'd qualify myself as a passionate novice photographer, but I work to improve every day and have fun doing it. So far, so good!
