Welcome

Hi! I'm Ben Sellars and welcome to my site! Though I have many interests, from hiking and biking to languages and web development, photography is always my passion. When hiking or biking the trails around Bismarck, North Dakota I can frequently be found with camera in hand photographing my experiences along the way and when writing my photographs are always there to help me share the story.

To find joy in life's experiences is wonderful but it means so much more when one can share it with others and I am honored to share mine with you. Welcome and thanks for dropping by. I value your comments, thoughts and suggestions so feel free to drop me an Email at bbsellars@gmail.com or follow me on Twitter and Instagram.
