Mending The Line

Before I picked up a fly rod, you would catch me with a camera in hand shooting various subjects, well rounded and open eyes to a variety of interests. Once fly fishing came into my life, everything made sense. This is what I want to shoot for the rest of my life, that's me! To catch a fish, set up a camera and composition, and capture a self-portrait using a self-timer and shutter burst is no easy feat. A lot of the photos of myself were taken by myself, and every chance I've had to capture a friend and fish in front of my lens are moments and stories I will never forget. Life is constantly moving, as are trout; every scene is different, and every day on the water brings new joys and struggles. After cummulated grief and trauma, with the loss of my father at age 4 and my brother Cooper Beacom to suicide when I was 17, I have found peace and been able to process grief and trauma through fly fishing and photography. There will always be more trout and more content to come. For now, enjoy, and as always, Tight Lines, Keep Em Wet, Rip Lips, etc.....
