I spent the summer essentially volunteering with the US Forest Service in Montana, fixing trails and cleaning campsites after graduating college in May of 2016.

I wanted to make a photo-story out of the summer, but because of my schedule, couldn't follow through with any ideas. But I kept photographing and ended up with an inconsistent mix of portraits, landscapes, journalistic and otherwise from my time in Montana, all revealing parts of myself as much as they do the subjects in the pictures.

Looking back at the images now, I see a story of seeking and not finding - of searching aimlessly - but in a good way.
