Hi, I’m Brent, a hobbyist photographer living in Springdale, AR. One of my happy places is the mountains, and in particular the Rocky Mountains. My favorite way to explore the mountains is through hiking/backpacking, and I have done a significant amount of hiking throughout the Rockies, including hiking the Continental Divide Trail from Canada to Mexico. This has allowed me to see and photograph so many awe inspiring places and scenes.
Through a bit of an accident I got into photographing fire hydrants in 2011/2012. (You can read the full story here.) This has since taken me on many road trips through many, many towns I otherwise wouldn’t have visited, in search of the “treasure” of a fire hydrant picture.
My Instagram posts and stories are the best way to stay up to date with my photography and to get know more about me. (A link to my Instagram can be found in the main menu.) Speaking about learning more about me, in addition to hiking and photography, you can find me enjoying my free time by running, cooking/baking, reading, listening to podcasts, and volunteering for cat care at the Best Friends Pet Resource Center. (If you want to occasionally see some of the cuteness from my volunteer shifts at Best Friends, such as the picture below, follow my social media stories.) I also volunteer on the board of directors for the Ozark Highlands Trail Association.
