Virginia-based photographer here, dedicated to travel and documenting everything along the way. I like to believe that this world is ours to explore, and that constantly roaming around is the best way to wipe away ignorance, expand your mind, and truly feed your soul. Pictures help me remember the places I’ve been and the lessons I’ve learned. Taking them has become a highly personal experience for me, and it’s liberating to share them here. So thanks for scrolling through, liking, re-blogging, and whatnot - I appreciate every bit of it. And feel free to contact to me, whether it’s for a print or questions, comments, complaints (hopefully not!), or all the above. I’m usually around. :) Kevinzerbe2@gmail.comTumblr (3.0; @kevinzerbe)http://kevinzerbe.tumblr.com/<p>Hello followers!  Just wanted to let you guys know I started a new tumblr.  It&#8217;s local-life.tumblr.com, and it&#8217;s dedicated to just documenting my hometown of Norfolk and the surrounding area.  I mostly post stuff from my travels, but I gotta show some hometown love too.  I&#8217;m still keeping this blog, but go ahead and give local-life a look-see and follow if you feel so inclined.  :)  Take care, folks!</p> <p><a href="http://local-life.tumblr.com">http://local-life.tumblr.com</a></p>http://kevinzerbe.tumblr.com/post/46009763050http://kevinzerbe.tumblr.com/post/46009763050Fri, 22 Mar 2013 15:58:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d80fe2da9bcb3bbfc58fec0b66f9d95d/tumblr_mjepamjnqP1rt4fcko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Just got back from the first trip I’ve taken in months.  Went and finally checked out good ol’ Chicago.  I’ve passed through this town dozens of times, and never had the chance to stay and see the sights.  I only had 2 days there, so I didn’t snap as many pictures as I wanted to, but I hope you guys enjoy!  Thanks for following!</p> <p>Chicago, IL (Mar. 2013)</p>http://kevinzerbe.tumblr.com/post/44955435191http://kevinzerbe.tumblr.com/post/44955435191Sat, 09 Mar 2013 13:42:22 -0500chicagoIllinoisilchi-townurbanskylinecitycityscapewillis towerlake michigankev zkevin zerbechicago skyline<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/e2da692ff74ea32219e9925e7801d096/tumblr_mhk3bjDRRT1rt4fcko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Manny’s Burgers, Fairmount Park.  Sometimes a hole in the wall is a beautiful thing.</p> <p>Norfolk, VA (Feb. 2013)</p>http://kevinzerbe.tumblr.com/post/42037250459http://kevinzerbe.tumblr.com/post/42037250459Fri, 01 Feb 2013 14:26:07 -0500norfolkvirginiavafairmount parklafayettemanny's burgersBlack and Whitecity photographydocumentary photographykevin zerbekev zurbancityhole in the wallrestaurantgrittyauthenticHampton RoadsTidewatereast coast<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f3caf05ac8535d93f3b9400648852529/tumblr_mgzp5hnV681rt4fcko1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5c66916dd0084770c7699a271f5088d5/tumblr_mgzp5hnV681rt4fcko2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/3a3bce8433d847a95adb032726701e36/tumblr_mgzp5hnV681rt4fcko3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>So I’ve started working with Five Points Community Farm Market and their new Mobile Market.  It’s a project where we set up shop in some of Norfolk’s “food deserts,” mostly low-income neighborhoods where there’s not enough access to fresh produce, and sell fresh veggies at a discounted price (and sometimes give stuff away).  And we’re also supporting local Virginia farmers and small-scale agriculture in the process. These pics are from last Saturday when we were in Ballentine Place.   </p> <p>Norfolk, VA (Jan. 2013)</p>http://kevinzerbe.tumblr.com/post/41122614589http://kevinzerbe.tumblr.com/post/41122614589Mon, 21 Jan 2013 14:07:49 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/bb068d66bea9581a98cf3a85ef4580a3/tumblr_mgwa6cxEAo1rt4fcko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Haven’t been traveling much lately, but it’s given me a chance to be tourist in my own town for now.</p> <p>First Landing State Park, Virginia Beach, VA (Jan. 2013)</p>http://kevinzerbe.tumblr.com/post/40958594003http://kevinzerbe.tumblr.com/post/40958594003Sat, 19 Jan 2013 17:51:48 -0500virginia beachvirginiafirst landing state parkseashore state parkForestkev zkevin zerbeBlack and Whitefoggy forestcreepy foresteerie picturephotophotographyphotographhikingnatureswampmarsh<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/54dcf9c30f97fcf318ab9cba214d2dca/tumblr_mg4mlrgzRp1rt4fcko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Someone’s spreading good vibes in Town Center.</p> <p>Virginia Beach, VA (April 2009)</p>http://kevinzerbe.tumblr.com/post/39698286810http://kevinzerbe.tumblr.com/post/39698286810Fri, 04 Jan 2013 19:27:27 -0500virginiavirginia beachgraffitistickersticker graffbathroomurbancitycity photographydocumentarydocumentary photographykev zkevin zerbesmiles look better than frownsgood vibespositive messagephotophotographyphotographercanon rebel xtitown center<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/66c5acb498b1cb56c5b365be308bbed7/tumblr_mfpzf9Absp1rt4fcko1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Kickin’ it at First Landing State Park (a.k.a.

whole day.  He hiked along side of us, never letting himself get too far away.  In fact, he was our chauffeur for the most part.  He knew that trail better than we did, for sure.  We never found out his real name, but his owner’s name (Adam) was on his collar, and so he was Adam to us.  And don’t worry, he made acquaintances with some other campers that evening who made sure he was returned to his owner safe and sound.  </p> <p>George Washington National Forest, VA (Oct. 2012)</p>http://kevinzerbe.tumblr.com/post/33898577617http://kevinzerbe.tumblr.com/post/33898577617Fri, 19 Oct 2012
