Behind the Lens: Self Reflection

Today I found myself busy as usual. Alot of very exciting projects, organizations and collaborations have all started to come together in the past two years and now days I find myself constantly searching for more time. More time to work, more time to write, more time to photograph and more time to spend with my family.

However as I was working today, I glanced at my Google+ account and realized that over 100k people have decided to put me in their circles. That is a humbling number and one that certainly makes me appreciate the opportunity you all give me to share my life, experiences, knowledge and passion with the world. THANK YOU for that chance. It means more then you know!
