Today is November 17th, 2023. Atlas turned 12 yesterday, Jaryn got accepted to TCAT and will start trade school in January, and Austin is working and going to school full-time. Proud is an understatement but proud I am. I woke up today to a notification that my little YouTube channel hit 500 subscribers and I am beside myself about it. So thats the short version of me catching you up to whats new at least this week. Oh Natasha also bought a new car yesterday and it’s amazing.

The texture in the desert is truly majestic

So as I mentioned above, Natasha and I finally took time to have a honeymoon of sorts this year. We have been married 13 years as of August and while we wait for our matching tattoos to commemorate the milestone, we took a trip. She was already in Arizona for the Brave Enough Conference so we decided that I would fly in solo to Phoenix to meet her. From Phoenix we grabbed a rental car and headed 2 hours North to Sedona and my goodness I wasn’t prepared for the desert and the majesty of it all. I have seen photos and videos but seeing it in person is truly something different. I shot tons of film and those wont be on this post but I wanted to share my images from the Hasselblad X1dii and the 45mm lens. I honestly do not think these do it justice but at least you can get an idea of how I tried to capture what I was experiencing. I plan to make a Youtube video talking about the trip but here are the images!
