The best part of cold plunging is being behind the lens! Some people were busy building character in the Pacific Ocean while I was over here in a warm jacket collecting content . Somebody has to document the cold plunge😀The ocean Tofino is always really cold, but this is the end of May. Be honest… are you the one jumping in, or the one taking the shot?

Revisiting work through a quieter lens! Revisiting old shoots reminds me that creative work doesn’t expire, it evolves through experience and practice just like anything else. If you want to learn how to play guitar - pick up the guitar and play! If you want to be fit - workout! If you want to be a good painter - pick up the brushes and paint! If you want to learn how to play the drums - get a drum kit, some sticks and play the dang drums! There is no other way to get better at anything, then actually doing the thing. It’s simple math … you put in the hours and before you know it, you will be doing the thing you set out to do. Just like Nike said “Just do it”

Happy Friday! A shot taken from a race on my friend’s boat … Round Bowen race. A few years back. What a fun day of sailing, capturing all the interesting angles and perspectives I could find and create some impromptu lifestyle images. Would you trade or office job for life on a boat? My friend who owns this boat spent many years at sea with his parents and two other boy siblings sailing around the world. That is something!
