ON MY WAY

When I was young , there was a man who showed me this photo . The man said that the photo was of a place that existed but was very far from here . It was amazing , and even though I didn't recognize where it was , I instantly knew I wanted to go there . It was perfect . 

As a child , I didn't know the words yet to describe what I saw and now looking back , I'm left with just a vague feeling . The details of the photos are gone from me but every now and then I'll catch a glimpse of something or someone as a sign that I might be heading in that direction .

For someone who grew up in southern California , I have a distant cousin relationship to the beach and all of its glory . I didn't come here much as a kid and through out college , it was a blur of bonfires , red cups , and terrible hot dogs . In those years I didn't see the beach or water as much i felt the sand and heard the ocean on surround sound behind complete darkness and awfully mixed drinks . 

I love the beach in theory . Its beautiful in photos in movies when you can sit comfortably on a couch in a temperature controlled room and don't have to deal with the crowds or the sand . The sand is everywhere for days . I don't go often , but I like the option that I COULD if the mood was to ever strike me .

It makes sense I guess that in my adult life I basically only go to the beach for photoshoots and video shoots . This particular one was done around 7:30 am on a Saturday . We were proudly the first one's in the parking lot .

My good friends @kellymasumiya , @abadimage , and Jamison invited me on a field trip to Santa Monica for their #galavantingsoul series . It’s a night of exploring , playing , and playing . I had to leave early for a rehearsal so I wasn’t able to stay for long and take as many photos . this is what I got , I already can’t wait to do it again . Thanks friends
