🤩 Rise & Grind

One of the best sunrises I’ve caught at tower bridge, and trust me, there’s be a LOT of sunrises there over the years. The majority of the time I don’t get what I wanted, but this morning paid off! Nothing like some log fog action at the Tower Bridge and over downtown Sac.

Happy National Late-To-Work day 🤙🏼

03/11/2021

365 days ago, I was in NYC, on the way to Siberia. Two of my closest friends and I had scored a huge job with the top car manufacturer company in the world, shooting cars for them on a frozen lake. While we were waiting to leave NYC and fly to Moscow, the former president goes on TV and says that he was blocking international travel. I had gotten the week off work so I could get this job done, so were offered the opportunity to stay in NY for some days, but we all decided to take the first flight back home. I needed to see my kids and let them know that it was gonna be ok.
On the flight back I began creating my google classroom and trying to figure out how to teach if we were going to be told to stay home. I signed up for Zoom, I did a ton of online class research. I was trying to come back prepared.
When my kids saw me in my class that Friday, they ran to me and gave me the biggest group hug, I had only been gone one day! I tried to teach as much as possible, but they kept wanting to know about the future, and what would happen to the school. I promised them we were going to be ok, and that I would see them on Monday…. later that afternoon we got an email from our district stating that we would not be going to school for at least the next two weeks… and we have yet to go back till this day….
It has easily been the toughest, most heart-breaking year teaching of my life, and that is saying a lot. However I am SO proud of that class, they really did not miss a beat and finished 4th grade so strong, I made sure to let them know proud I am of them, and how successful I know they’re going to be in 5th Grade.
Today, things are looking a little better, in a couple of weeks I will be getting my vaccine and our district is looking at opening up in about 4 weeks. School won’t be the same right away, it will definitely be weird with the restrictions we have, but I know that we are adaptable and we will be able to overcome this. Most importantly, I know that the kids won’t be playing Fortnite while I’m trying to teach math 😂. Brighter days ahead!
Thanks for attending my TedTalk

Nature is not a place to visit, it’s home.

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds.

This was my toughest hike of the whole year. It seriously whooped my butt carrying camping gear, food, and photography gear over a 12k foot pass. But I honestly can’t wait for it again this summer!

Hiking is a bit like life: The journey only requires you to put one foot in front of the other… again and again and again. And if you allow yourself opportunity to be present throughout the entirety of the trek, you will witness beauty every step of the way, not just at the summit...

This lake has always been beautiful, but it became extremely popular after Apple used it as one of its wallpapers. This specific morning I showed up late in my Jeep and took a nap before waking up while it was still night. There were already people set up for a photo, but 90% of the people went for the Apple wallpaper shot. I wanted to get something more unique and found a little pond behind a rock, the water was nice and still and though most of the lake was shaky because of the wind, I had a nice little reflection.
Hope you like it! :)

I took a road trip and continued teaching my kids, this is how I did it.

I took a road trip to Colorado, but I continued working my day job. This is how I did it.

Colorado has some of the most amazing granite formations. To get there we had to drive to a national forest area, off road to a different gate, then hike in the dark uphill, until we ran into this canyon - All before sunrise ! It was freezing cold but once the light came out we forgot all about it and were blessed with tis views!
