We're celebrating Earth Day with a community 
clean-up event! Get your friends and families, church and youth groups, clubs and colleagues to team up and help us out!

In the fall of 2004, Doug relocated to Los Angeles, CA to begin his commercial photography career, making the industry connections that would afford him the opportunity to travel the world.
