Welcome to my blog! This is a place for my latest pictures, as well as some thoughts on creative inspiration and life in general.

yeah, i think the interest timelapse (beyond the aesthetic) is this idea of compressing time into one photographic "moment".

Can a physical place really be magical? Or is it just all that fantasy stuff playing with my head? Tropical retreats to Hawaii are great and as advertised, and I’m sure Tahiti is amazing, but Palau was a bit other-worldly. Part of it was definitely the diving that made it spectacular, but there was something about being at this place on this planet that made me feel connected to the “bigness” of it all. There are so many elements that I want to point to and say that that is the thing, but I’m never sure.

Maybe it was the jellies.
Maybe it was the blue ocean.
Maybe it was the simplicity of island life.
Maybe it was that incredible skyline.

All these possibilities.

Just as much as I find beauty in those questions between definitions, Palau was a place that made me take in the experience because there really wasn’t much to say about it. The enigma is its definition.
