THE BOOTS & THE BEGINNING
"They quickly became a symbol of Cullan's passion for hiking, a lust for adventure, and the ability to conquer any mountain, both literal and figurative." This is a passage from my "bio" section on my website, describing the Rockport boots you'll either see me wearing or featuring in one of my outdoor, travel photographs. They were purchased for me as a gift, and I received them Christmas of 2014. I would mostly wear them on days when there was little or on snow and in the fall. These boots were simply another piece of my wardrobe. They were an extension of my style. That was the case until the Summer of 2016.
An outlet for my thoughts, creative endeavors, and a chance to share useful information about traveling & the outdoors.
