Where on the map?

Where on the map…. do I want to go?

I have a big map on my wall with pins that I have put on places i’ve been and places i’d love to go. I just keep adding them… but at some point i’m going to have to chose between all those pins… roll up my map and pack it for my next destination…
or JOURNEY I should say.
What an exciting choice to have.
(Here is a random shot I did of pins on my map… you should put up your own map and pins… it’s so inspiring + fun!)

Forever Beautiful

Beauty never fades, when you know what it really means.
My mother is forever beautiful.
This is my mom when she was young at my dad’s cottage, photos taken by my dad.

LEARN from the dark and go towards the LIGHT.

The dark only shows you how bright the light can be.

Open up….

Let your colors SHINE.

If only we all had the confidence to KNOW and BE our true selves.
To think of no one else’s opinions and judgements and just let our true colors shine out.

Shine bright. Shine free.

Fat head

…..to fit a fat brain 😉

Love yourself.

It sounds easy. It can be hard.
BUT… it’s the only way to live life satisfied and excited.
Love that you are uniquely you. Don’t measure yourself against anyone else’s definition.
This is your experience.

For the love of basketball

Stop focusing on the scale…

…..and start focusing on what you love about yourself.

Bookshop Sessions.

Mumford and Sons is one of my favorite bands.
I have some beautiful memories and thoughts attached to their songs, some having nothing to do with the actual songs themselves but they re-spark the feelings I once had.
One of my most peaceful moments to date, was walking along the Ocean in Florida, beach empty, Mumford and Sons on my ipod, low volume so I could still hear the waves and feel the sand between my toes and the ocean rolling at my feet. mmmm.
I love these versions of the songs, Bookshop Sessions.

Just Be.

Let go of your definitions.
Let go of your expectations and assumptions.
Let go of who you think you are.
Let go of who you think you’re suppose to be.
Just Be.

Backstage in New Orleans

Here are a few pictures of me shooting some Banksy pieces in New Orleans.  The hunt to find all of them in the city was so cool.. we ran into a few other people on the hunt to find all his pieces too.  They were done after Hurricane Katrina when a lot of the city was evacuated. Stopped in a graveyard for a few shots too as well as shot the craziest wedding i’ve ever heard of.

Enjoy. I sure did.

Together.

My 2 little nephews being in my life has taught me more about LOVE than I could have ever comprehended before them. Here is a piece I did of me and Darius at night on the beach, later overlayed with a long road. This lil 4 year old stayed still with me for a 40 sec exposure…. looking up at me with the biggest smile i’ve ever seen.

Sneaky Sneaky in the back

This is a picture I did of a sneaky couple, sneaking around in the back of a sneaky automobile. tee he he

Focus on Love.

This picture is one of the reasons I love photojournalism.  This has such a POWERFUL commentary. Focus on the love… not on the war.  

This image is from a riot in Vancouver following the brutal defeat of the Canucks in the Stanley Cup.  (no offense… but it’s hockey.. come on people… let’s allow sport games to bring us peace and happiness!!)
