About Casey

There is a famous adage which is attributed to the Ancient Greek philosopher Socrates - the unexamined life is not worth living. A more idealistic way of putting that is saying our lives are worthy of examination. That can mean something different for each of us, but at its core, it is a call to extract our own unique value from our lives. For me, photography is one way I examine and learn about the world around me. One of my favorite pastimes is to wake up early, drink a quality cup of coffee, and set out on a walk with my camera in hand. My elevated mood, my thoughts and observations, my discoveries and photographs taken are always worth the time invested. Photography marries observation with creation in a way that begs one to get out and see the world. And there’s a funny thing about learning and exploring the world: the more you see, the less you know!

Aside from photography, I enjoy surfing, reading, learning new skills, aviation, and travel. My airline pilot job helps fulfill my travel and photography interests.

I’d love to hear from you, and for you to be a part of my website. Please subscribe below and follow me for updates. Hopefully one day I’ll see you out there!
