My Croatia was a trip was with my family who, like me are serious history buffs!

We love learning about ancient culture and experiencing it first hand, and as it turns out Croatia is a wonderful place to experience ancient culture.

Every photo taken above and every shot in this short film was chosen for its beauty and the sense of wonder that you get when traveling the country of Croatia. To me these are the images that tell the story of the people and the land.

I took my Canon 70D, the Canon 24-105L f4 lens for landscape shots and, my Canon 50mm f1.4 lens for detail shots and portraits.

Along with my Gorilla pod and backpack for easy stow away and carry capabilities.

The collection below is of photos taken while I was living in the Chicago area.

These images were taken in abandoned buildings and other areas of disrepair,

showcasing that even though something is broken and forgotten, it still has its own personality and beauty.
