Feeling so blessed to witness these moments of exploration, seeing through eyes where everything is brand new and magical, those rocks, that sand, this beautiful boy and his beach. Magic 341/365, This Beautiful Boy and His Beach, Playa Guiones
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. The only thing missing was my camera. I snapped a photo with my iphone and it was great, but we had to at least try to recreate the scene with the good camera in hand. These are our family booty shots.

I am trying to look at this old sport of my lifelong soul’s quest as a new sport that I have never done before because it is depressing to have been doing something for decades that you’re still not very good at. Actually, I am pretty good, on little waves. I just don’t like waves …
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 …
This is the life I chose for myself and my family. So I am going to call it intelligence. Yeah. I like that. Last night, as we were enjoying a magical sunset in Playa Guiones, complete with a double rainbow, I couldn’t help but think how lucky I am. But then I remembered, luck has …
Really seeing sand. We look at the beach and we see the big picture but do we ever really see the sand? There is so much beauty in it. It has a magic of its own. This is why I love photography. This is why photography, for me, is a spiritual path. Because it inspires …
