See the world through my Grey Eyes
As a full-time engineer and business leader, photography has always been my outlet for creativity. I originally created Grey Eye Studio as a simple portfolio to showcase my favorite photos. All my free time was quickly booked up doing photoshoots for all my friends and family. Then when I started writing, it turned into so much more. What started as a side gig, turned into a wonderful platform to document my stories of adventure and to share what I’ve learned along the way. I love taking pictures, but pictures never quite convey the true feelings and sensations of a location.
As you read my stories, I hope you can imagine yourself there beside me and my family, feeling the hustle and bustle of the local markets, smelling the spices and aromas of the fresh food, examining all the tiny details in every corner, and wandering in awe at the magnificent landscapes. I hope you laugh with us as we show the realities of traveling with children and smile with us as we watch our little ones learn and grow. This is the world as I see it, through my Grey Eyes.
