totality
——
A moment of complete awe and bewilderment – capturing glimpses of totality through thin breaks in the clouds
It’s difficult to describe how it feels for me to stand in this cosmic alignment
It’s the most human thing I’ve ever felt
400x further, and 400x larger, it’s completely astonishing to me that the sun and moon are the exact same size from our perspective
And the way we all dance in perfect circles together
Syncing up like the hands of a clock
The power and stillness of totality in 2017 was monumental when I experienced it for the first time. Seven years later, I’m very, very grateful to have witnessed it again, and this time tried my best to photograph it
An eclipse is a beautifully challenging subject to shoot – I’m glad the clouds cleared just enough to reveal an image (seeing that solar flare come into view is wild)
Until we meet again 🌒🌑🌘

Sharing a bit of past creative work —
A short feature of a total inspiration, a beautiful soul and fellow alien @abbywrenartistry 👽 We hiked out to this epic spot just outside of LA to capture Abby doing her thing as the sun set over the hills.
Working together and getting to see both you and @wadeholland in action completely lit up my spirit. Grateful and ready for more adventures!
Video shot as part of a mini-series for @sierranevada 🙏🏽

I had the privilege of documenting @skyewalker_art ‘s latest pop of color in Leucadia, “Remember California”, a depiction of Mother Earth and a restoration of the original composition Skye had painted here 10 years ago.
It’s really quite incredible to see the scale and the creative process first hand – rendering photorealism with nothing but spray cans on a 40ft stucco wall. In just a few days. Insane. (Swipe to see some early stages before the video is released.)
Really appreciating the way art is celebrated and can bring an entire community together. And a huge heartfelt thank you to @skyewalker_art – always a creative recharge working with you. ⚡️

Late post, but really grateful to have visited the @berrics last year before they tore it down. Swipe for some long lens snipes and raw clips from the @damnamseries contest. (and help tag anyone here!)
Massive thanks to @coledownhill

so many memories made between these few dusty frames
after wanting to participate for so long, it finally (magically) lined up for me to prepare last minute – a solo journey into the desert and some soul-healing days I will never forget
the sunrises, the dust, the art, the prayer, the sounds, the city, the scale, the people, the flow, the love, the lessons, the power, the alchemy, the duality, all of it
all because I said yes
my deepest gratitude
waking dream
finally went home and it feels so good
such a beautiful & sacred lens on the magic & artistry of being human
this place lit my soul on fire, completely ❤️🔥
