New Hampshire Backpacking Disaster
Backpacking trip in White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire full of rain and a lot of tent time.

She's a happy camper! This picture is from a year and a half ago, and I can still remember the feeling of wonderment, walking through a rainforest on our trip around North America. Little did we know at the time, that this would be just a short drive from our new home. Can't wait to get back to the peninsula and explore more of this truly remarkable place.

We had a great "around the table" conversation with some friends last night about the interwebs and how social media specifically has allowed us limitless access to the very best, and how truly detrimental this can be for the psyche to compare yourself to that standard.
It's hard, but I try and remind myself to compare my work only to my previous work, and judge my individual growth, instead of comparing it to others work, and especially not to concern myself with the "results" I get from sharing it online.
Basically I'm just trying to get that next ninja belt, instead of trying to be Bruce Lee. If you stuck with me, hit me with a ninja comment!

Please share this with everyone you know. DON'T VISIT THE NATIONAL PARKS during the shutdown.
I especially call on all the media, who originally encouraged people to go because it's free. To me that sounds a bit like encouraging looting. These lands don't belong to YOU, they belong to US. And if you can't keep our things nice, then you don't deserve to share.
Link in profile to an article Anna wrote two years ago on the topic.
I chose this picture because the scale of people atop the vast but delicate Grand Canyon. We are individually small, and our individual lives are short compared to the ecosystem. However, we are part of a massive species, and our group think can be either very dangerous or very powerful. Be the latter, be the good, be the light, and help tip the scales.

Gotta add this to my favorite photos of 2018, even though it's not mine. Thanks again Bragi @icelandweddingphoto for capturing the magic as Anna @louisianapearlmusic and I shared our vows in the country where we fell in love. 2019, you have a lot to live up to after a momentous 2018.

(5 of 5) This made my favorites of 2018 due to the sheer scale. All I could think while walking through the slot canyon was the time it took for the water to slowly and methodically carve away the durable rock. Couldn't be more fitting for a New Year, to look at our lives as a series of small choices over a long time that shape is into who we are. Happy 2019 everyone 🎉

(4 of 5) This photo makes my list for a few reasons, but most importantly it holds a memory of conservation. While hiking with my uncle @jzagnoli and my nephew, I stopped to pick up a piece of trash on the trail. My uncle immediately pointed it out to my young nephew, explaining to him that it is our responsibility to keep this world clean. I truly believe it's these small moments that will shape our future generations and has the power to change the world. Sadly this is in sharp contrast to an article I just read by @latimes about or National Parks getting destroyed during the government shutdown. PLEASE don't visit the parks during the shutdown, unless you're able to leave no trace!
