Joshua Cripps was born in 1981 and was born in Los Gatos, California. He then moved to Senora and that's where he grew up. He never had planned to be a photographer because he had always wanted to be an astronaut. When he was 25 years old he finally got his first good camera. He first started photography when he went on a trip to Alaska and brought a camera with him and ever since then he has been very passionate with taking nature and landscape pictures.  I really like his work because I think the photos he takes are so pretty, and they capture everything.
