I shoot adventure, editorial and travel photographs while splitting time between the open road and Boulder, Colorado where I'm completing graduate studies in International Development. Galen Rowell, Dorothea Lange and George Carlin are my primary influences. I firmly believe that Zappa was on to something when he quipped, “You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline,” and am enthusiastically exploring the merits of this theory. I'm a lifelong ambassador for the arts, travel and both inner and outer exploration as I view them as being ideal vehicles to reach what Maslow termed “self-actualization”. You can see a cross-section of my work here. Should you like to reach out to discuss a project, print, or commission, please feel free to contact me at cmc@chriscarruth.com
