Sometimes you are just lucky. Lucky enough to have friends that will make it happen no matter the challenges and adversity. Lucky enough to time the shutter just right and get the exposure that captures much more than just a moment it captures a feeling.

Interpret how you want and share that interpretation with others to gain insight to what actually might be. Abstract ideas are only abstract when you don't understand them. Take time to listen to a crazy idea, it might just be something you didn't know you couldn't live without.

Having balance proves time and time again to be a crucial part of succeeding in life. Work hard, play hard with a little bit of friends and family. Balance the light with the dark to create a path in the moment.

Earn your stripes by explaining something geologists have been trying to explain for over a hundred years without any success.  Striped Butte, Death Valley National Park, California.

Things are not always as they seem and it takes different perspectives to get the whole picture. Three sources of light from three different people make this 10x10 inch arch look larger and more dramatic than the most famous of arches. 

A hail storm moves in above a cabin on the shore of James Peak Lake, Colorado. 

Mother nature has a way of showing you how power can also be beautiful and deadly at the same time. Winter storms on the north shore of Oahu is a great place to view this in real life where you can feel the ground quaking as the waves crash on the rocks.

Proven to help your mood and sensibility, simply smile. Good things happen when you look happy, like stumbliing upon a happy family of moose getting some slurps or coming across a mountain goat saying cheese.

Lines can be followed. Lines can be crossed. Lines can waste your time. Lines can be used to create the space shuttle.  Lines can hide in plain sight. Lines cannot be dots.

A colorful and radical place to share the existence of life.

Playing keeps the imagination young. When you have an active and young imagination you are able to be creative with solutions to problems that seem impossible.

Whether your being as cool as a lizard, goofy as a goat, sly as a fox, or tough as a tatanka, critters have a way of showing how to be the best you can be.

The two best parts of the day are when the sun rises and when it sets. Two hours when that low angle of glorious light fills the world with the beauty you long for.  Good thing you get twice a day for free, go enjoy it.

A full moon is like having an extra day to do fun things. Like camp in the snow and light up the night.

Paint the night with friends and create the time that you want to have.

Self explanatory. The more fun you have the more likely you are to be in "the moment". So go play and have FUN!!
