Yesterday we woke with the weight of yet another move on our minds. This will be the 9th since September of 2017. Some self-imposed, others not so much. The thing about getting a good deal on a piece of land in a high priced area of paradise is that you get what you pay for: …
This is what it’s all about. That man and the tiny, little human and the water color sunshine painting the last rays of the day onto the first of the night sky. That light and this love. This is magic. All the magic that I will ever need. ???????????? Magic 307/365, This Magic, Playa Guiones, …
My son, Dasan, sat up for the first time on a day like the one pictured here. Beautiful sunshine and blue skies and his cute little booty sticking out of his shorts.

These are our family booty shots.

After a few days of an intense storm, the clouds break and beach life is rekindled. It felt good to be on the beach this night. Antonio went for a surf and Dasan and I strolled the beach snapping photos of all the magic. Dasan fell asleep on my chest and I sat on a …

That about sums up the look on Dasan’s face. We have recently become kind of obsessed with unicorns. It was a long time in the making but we fell over the threshold to obsession when we dressed our white Nissan Xterra with a rainbow tail and unicorn horn. It is my favorite care. EVER. So …
Shortly after my success with malaria bed net distributions, I was given the dual role of “Communications Specialist” because I could take decent photos. And then once again I was thrown into the fire and asked to develop a communications strategy to help our program reach its beneficiaries with life-saving information. Our $283 million dollar …
Father and Son was the first song I ever learned on guitar. I was 15 years old and my father bought me a guitar for Christmas. I wasn’t really into it because what I really wanted was a surfboard. I know, what a spoiled freakin brat. So I let it gather dust and continued to sweat …
One evening during our photo workshop we drove up to the top of this mountain, set up our tripods, opened a few bottles of wine, and sipped and shot while the sun set over Queenstown. This was one of my favorite moments of the trip. A group of photo enthusiasts talking shop, drinking wine and …
