The Outskirts

I was listening to some clips of Rick Rubin recently and he has some really wise words on pursuing what you find interesting and doubling down on it even if at first other people don’t understand it. That is truly the only way to make original work because it is specific to you and only what you could make.

The other morning my dog woke me up early and so I grabbed my cameras, jumped in the Runner, and headed to the outskirts. I am not sure what draws me to these areas. I think I like the contrast of what used to be small towns slowly being consumed by the cities. I like the history and the decay. Also maybe I shouldn’t try to put it to words. I just need to pursue what I like and see what comes of it.

Maternity Photos of Courtney

I was able to sneak Courtney away for a couple hours last night to get some maternity photos. Everyday I thank God that He led me to this woman. She is exceedingly more strong, loving, wise, and beautiful than I deserve. Seeing her pregnant again has been so fun and I am so grateful for this time in our lives.
