Untamed Beauty

<p>Trading the concrete jungle for a real one I ventured into the wilderness with my camera hoping to reignite my passion for photography and maybe find a piece of myself I'd lost along the way. I didn't expect to meet Jake-a rugged intriguing stranger who seemed as much a part of the forest as the towering pines themselves. Together we navigated untrodden trails surprising wildlife encounters and the thrilling uncertainty of the wild. As we faced both the beauty and danger of nature I began to wonder: was I capturing the wilderness or was it capturing me? Join me on this unpredictable journey where every step could lead to discovery-or disaster.</p>
