Julia is an avid outdoorswoman, having traveled from the forests of Cuba to the ice-fields of Alaska to the mountain peaks of Korea to the impenetrable jungles of the Darien Gap in eastern Panama. Her photography has covered monuments, landscapes, Peoples, heritage sites, insects and wildlife from the United States, Canada, the Caribbean and Central America to Europe, Russia, and Asia. She prefers to photograph the uncommon, like mysterious 5000 year old petroglyphs and night-crawling insects, to the extreme environment, such as untouched tropical forests, rugged mountain ranges, ice caves and pristine desert lands. Follow Julia’s Xplorer Journal.
