Chad Weisser takes photographs to define his experiences, to encapsulate these moments and share the earth's most extraordinary places with his friends and all of the aspiring vagabonds and trekkers that hope to travel one day.

Two of his great passions in life are travel and photography. Chad believes that travel broadens one's view of the world. Experiencing other cultures, meeting people from other communities and other countries and seeing the beauty, and sometimes ugliness, of the world has helped him understand that all of our lives are at once interconnected and individual. Through Chad's photography he seeks to document his own personal experiences, to capture scenes and events as Chad sees them and to share with others the beauty and diversity of the world Chad's seen. As the images of other photographers have inspired me to explore the world, Chad hopes my own contributions will inspire others to do the same.

Chad believes the most important quality of a photograph, as in all of art, is to evoke an emotional response. While everything in nature does this for him, selecting just the right places and moments to make a photograph that conveys those emotions is far more difficult.
