The Archives, Part 1 (2014-2015)


Went digging through my files to find photos of some of my old trips. Most are from around Florida, but there are a few from North Carolina, as well. It's quite interesting to see the difference between these places in 2020 versus 2014-15. 

While the photo quality isn't the greatest, as it would take three years before I got my camera of choice (Nikon D3400) with 24 megapixels, I hope you'll at least enjoy the atmosphere these pictures invoke.
