PURPOSE AND AUTHENTICITY
In my 20 years of professional experience, I’ve played many different roles as a business owner, not just a photographer. Whether I am project managing large projects for clients or mentoring employees/other photographers, I understand the importance of working on the ground level but also having clear sense of the big picture.
When you work with me, I am focus on delivering your needs as a client and less about what I want out of the project. Still, I thoroughly enjoy a collaborative process when we share a vision of creating stories that has meaning and purpose.

Just decided to put my snowshoeing gear to the ultimate test with a 1.6-mile hike to a glacier. Now, I’ve only snowshoed a few times during my 4 years in Michigan, but with Denver’s endless sunshine calling my name, I’m ready to embrace the winter sport lifestyle. Who has the energy for the whole skiing and snowboarding circus anyway? Snowshoeing lets me take it slow and enjoy the scenery! But note to self: it`s a lot chillier and windier up in the mountains where the trails start at over 8k elevation! 🥶❄️

Great dunes national park in southern colorado wasn`t really on my bucket lists of National parks to visit but since I was in Crestone, a nearby town, I could resist checking it out. I didn`t have too much expectation from the park but naturally when I was there, i was pleasantly surprise by just how grand the sand dunes were. I was only able to spend an afternoon there but I can definitely see myself revisiting for a long time and do some off roading adventures around the area!

🌟 **James on Living Your Best Life Through Presence** 🌟
James often reflects on how much time we spend stuck in the past or worrying about the future. He asks, “Is that your best self? Is that your best life?”
He’s learned that holding on to past struggles or fixating on future worries only keeps us from experiencing the present moment—the one thing we truly have.
James believes life moves quickly. He reminds others not to look back 25 years from now and realize they missed it. By letting go of yesterday and stopping the chase for tomorrow, we can fully live in the beauty of today.

🌌 Born reflects: "The Buddha uncovered universal truths—ideas quantum physics is only now exploring—simply by meditating under a tree. By looking within, he realized the origin, sustenance, and dissolution of the universe were mirrored in the self." 🌿

🌟 A Lesson in Humanity: The Role of a Teacher 🌟
"As a Zen teacher, I wear the robes and play the role, but I always remind others: I’m human. I won’t meet every idealization you may have of me—and that’s okay.
At some point, I may disappoint you, and when that happens, it could be part of the teaching itself. It’s not about falling off the pedestal; it’s about learning that the true teacher isn’t the person in front of you—it’s life, the hard knocks, and your own journey.
Be prepared to embrace the imperfection and the humanity of the teacher. There’s wisdom in seeing beyond the roles we play."

MEANING
I choose this symbol as reflection of my aspiration. Wikipedia has numerous interpretations of this symbol and these particular ones best reflect my practice:
- The inseparability of emptiness (shunyata) and dependent origination, the underlying reality of existence.
- The union of wisdom and method.
- Interplay and interaction of the opposing forces in the dualistic world of manifestation, leading to their union, and ultimately to harmony in the universe.
- The inter-twining of wisdom and compassion.
