Recently, I was contacted by the Discovery Channel to help promote their new TV series “Life” which airs on March 21st in a 2 hour special. This 11 part mini series, picks up where “Planet Earth” left off and continues to raise the bar when it comes to documenting life on this planet. Here are two behind the scenes videos about the making of the series. Over the next few days, I will continue to release more information as it is given to me. I hope you enjoy!

The Importance of Love

March 5th, 2010

Love

Love, like life, sometimes seems to be this intangible experience that we all know is part of our existence, but we just can’t seem to wrap our heads around what it actually is. For thousands of years, the human species have tried to define love.

What is love? Why does it make us do the things we do? and more importantly where can we find it?

_

The reality of love is that it is full of complexities. It is unique and yet abundant. Beautiful and yet Painful. Undefinable and yet so specific at times.

B&W Heart

Love is everything and everyone. It is all around us and within us. Love is in nature, on the street, in the ocean and even in our sleep.

Una Via

As we go through life we sometimes latch onto these ideas of what we think love is, of what we think our special someone is going to be like or what our “dream job” would be and while most of my friends would probably call me a dreamer, I have come to realize that life, like love, is so far beyond our wildest imaginations that they don’t even come close to how amazing they both are. Today marks the one year anniversary of the day I met the woman that changed my l life, Sarah. Henry David Thoreau once said, “Our truest lives are when we are in dreams awake”. That has to be true because every morning that I wake up next to Sarah, I swear I must be dreaming. Happy Anniversary Baby!

Photo of the Day: “Bonsai Rock Panorama”

March 3rd, 2010

Bonsai Rock Sunset Panorama #2“Bonsai Rock Panorama” – Lake Tahoe, Nevada

Just south of Sand Harbor on the Nevada side of Lake Tahoe, there is an obscure path that leads down to the shore. Here there is a unique rock that has a bonsai tree growing out of it, making for some amazing photographic opportunities. Shot with a Canon 5D Mark II and a 24-70 2.8L Lens on a tripod, I was able to stitch together this panorama from 5 separate photos. I hope you enjoy this Photo of the Day!
