About Me
Hey, I’m Ken! I love exploring the world both near and far, meeting new people, and getting lost in my photography! I am totally into wandering through the mysterious corners of the Mojave Desert doing night photography. I also am obsessed with creating otherworldly experimental space music. I hope this site gives you some inspiration and maybe a few tips to create your own adventures. Let’s get lost in some travel and music!
