An attempt to subvert social media and stay in touch with those around me. Remember when Instagram was for sharing photos?

The Getaway

I have a few photos that fall into the category of humour, and this is one that I think tells a great story. In an age of a trillion photographs, does the adage still hold up? 1000 words, or something?

In the last year plus worth of time, there have been moments when things just feel like they were maybe five to ten years ago, objectively normal moments. This past summer a group of incredible people came together to throw a rave and dance all day and all night. Everything was special leading up to it until they started posting “No Cameras” in the channels. What was I going to do? Obviously, I’m bringing my camera and taking as many discreet photos as I can. Luckily, the host of the party grabbed me and asked if I brought my camera because he really wanted to get some photos and gave me a pass to shoot as many as I wanted.

A new human life has has begun! We are overjoyed to say the least. He arrived early yesterday morning in the comfort of our living room; with candles lit and music playing as he began his journey in this mortal world. What the future holds for him, only time can say. But what we can say is that we will make sure that he is taken after and brought up as best as humanly possible. His whole family is looking forward to showing him the path to happiness and teaching all the lessons on how to be a good human on this rock floating through space.

Ocean Beach

Going way back into the archives for this one, a photo dear to my heart as it was one that got me holding onto my camera again, carrying it with me as much as I could and trying to take more photographs as I went through my life. Just a random moment, catching a kid running down a sand dune on a beautiful day in San Francisco.
