Or not drinking ever again. New Zealand is a land of epic landscapes painted by long slow sunsets and sunrises. This is a photo I took during one such sunrise on my Trey Ratcliff workshop in Queenstown. We woke VERY early one morning after staying up VERY late with Trey drinking wine and listening to …
I have learned so much about myself during this year of photos. I learned that I really don’t like most of the photos that I did in the past, at least, not the HDR photos. Don’t get me wrong, I love HDR and it was ALL I did for a good year, but I realize …
This is another photo I took during our visit to the hanging bridges in Arenal. I am kind of obsessed with these now and am looking into ways to build these on my property. As of now, we are about to put our first renovated container on the property but I have dreams of many …
I haven’t surfed in six days. But I did make it to the beach for sunset to take this pretty photo. And I did yoga this morning, and boxing on Saturday. Sometimes one can only do so much. I am beginning to realize that I want to do everything I love to do every day. …
Woke at 4:30 this morning to catch the sunrise at Angkor Wat in Cambodia. I thought surely I would beat the crowds, but apparently, this was not a unique idea. There were way more people there at sunrise than the afternoon before. Nevertheless, I managed to snap this photo sans personne. Magic 238/365, Sunrise Over …
I spent a few days in Assinie Mafia in Côte d’Ivoire. What used to be a luxury resort town has crumbled into a beach of ruins. Read more here. Magic 236/365, Brokedown Palace, Assinie Mafia, Côte d’Ivoire, 2016
Today I invoked the Mother and it WORKED. Well, it kind of worked. Today was day six of my 21-day surfing streak to fierce, power-charging, warrior goddess-ness. And I was scared. Of tiny waves. So far I have made it to the outside every day of my challenge, but today the waves were a tiny …
Learning how to surf, again, I mean REALLY learning how to surf reminds of a common thread that has run through me and my pursuits for my whole life. Fear blocking my way. It’s kind of like when I wanted to learn how to do a back handspring for pretty much my entire life until …
Not this guy. That wave. Ok, not that PARTICULAR wave, but all waves. Surfing was my first love. It informed many of my earliest fate-making decisions, like going to college in Hawaii, one of the best decisions EVER. In fact, surfing has never led me astray. It has only brought me to epic locations and …
On our way to La Fortuna we stopped at Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park. It sounded like a pretty cool place but it also sounded kind of touristy. This place majorly exceeded my expectations. We woke at 4 am to head to Arenal from Nosara. By the time we finished the 4+ hours drive we …
