About DJ Bradley

My name is DJ Bradley; I am from Seattle, Washington, USA. I am a photographer and I love traveling to new places to meet new people, to share their stories and show other parts of the world using multimedia. I also love the outdoors; there is nothing better then a hike up in the mountains! This blog will be a place for me to share the stories about my travels and tell the stories behind some of my images. Currently I am in the Kurdistan region of Northern Iraq teaching English for a year.

As one of my photography teachers, Carlan Tapp, once said, “It is my firm belief that a photograph is a window, it can create a portrait, it can create awareness, it can educate, and it can create change.”

I agree with that statement 100%! It is my hope that my photography will in some way enrich our world; through education, awareness and bringing change when needed. I want to thank each and everyone of you for taking the time to read my blog and view my photographs. And a special thank you to all of you that have educated, supported and encouraged me along the way. Without you, none of what I do would be possible. I thank God everyday for the opportunities He has given me and the chance to share them with others.
