FrugePhoto's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

FrugePhoto

I am a professional travel and adventure photographer based out of the Mojave Desert and Sequoia National Forest of California. I spend the majority of my time taking action shots on the Kern River and the rest of my time exploring what this big beautiful planet has to offer.
