Adventure One


One of the most significant resolutions I made for this new year is to adventure more. To kick it off, yesterday I went on a bone collecting - turned
mountain climbing trip with two of my nature-loving pals. I don't typically enjoy going out on chilly rain days, and today I'm a little sore, bruised,
and scraped up. But, I'm very glad I didn't make the decision to crawl back into my warm bed.

The third photo is from a small, extremely old cemetery we stopped in first. I couldn't pass of snapping a photo of one of the markers.

Despite the few moments of panic I had from the height of the mountain, I had a really good time and I can't wait to do it again. Of course, in a more
prepared state. On my list of things to get is a pair of better shoes or boots, appropriate pants, and a different backpack that doesn't try and choke
me while I'm climbing rocks.

I intentionally left out/didn't take as many photos at the mountain to motivate me to go back soon. But, it's a truly fantastic site that I will definitely be
posting about again.

New Year's Resolutions



I've never sat down and made a legitimate list of New Year's Resolutions until now. People seem really cynical when it comes to making resolutions, but I think there's importance in reflecting on your strengths, weaknesses, and goals and strive to become a more effective and happier person.

Take more photos. Expand my creativity and document both the amazing and the mundane parts of my life.

Redesign my brand. Settle on a cohesive 'forever' brand that I am proud to have as my own.

Stress less. Accept that I cannot control everything in my life.

Eat healthier & get in shape. Go back to drinking a ton of water and always having fruits and veggies on hand.

Craft. I have a lot of ideas that I'm excited to take on, one in particular that I hope people will just eat up.

Have a functional office space. A place that fuels productivity and creativity.

Make a case for my old cameras. They're just waiting to be dusted off and put on display.

Be well on my way to becoming self-employed. I want to create, I want to do so many more shoots with people, so if anyone has any ideas they want to see come to life just let me know!

Adventure more.
