Alison Turner was born and raised in Southern California. She learned early on that freedom consisted of long family road trips in a wood paneled station wagon. After college graduation, she started her journey of climbing the corporate ladder thinking it would lead me to a better life.

Years passed by and I as she made it to the top steps of the ladder, she wasn’t fulfilled. Instead, she felt trapped and uninspired. She decided to give it all up to find her creative soul that was lost along the way. In order to do that, she packed up everything she needed in her car and began to wander across the United States looking for something. What she found was a new appreciation of what is important in life. Shy by nature, having a camera is her excuse to talk to strangers. Because of meeting and talking to strangers, she has met the most interesting folks and has had the chance to do things all because of holding a camera, smiling and saying “hello.” You can discover more about Alison and her work by visiting her website and blog.
