Just a Snippet.

Sorry for the silence. My days have been pretty full. Oh, I forgot to tell you?

Yesss, well it's true. I'm in Hawaii, teaching this week, while Jonathan holds down the Canadian fort.

We FaceTime multiple times a day, which is almost like both being here...or there.

But not quite the same.

Hmmmph.

Time here is always good though. I've had an engagement shoot (coming soon!), taught on photojournalism, spent a couple of leisurely hours reading at the beach with my mum, had a few catch-up coffee dates and tried to force myself to sleep on schedule.

Thankfully I pop out of beds with the sun here and have been loving dawn's serenity. I've been spending my early mornings, re-working my teaching notes and as you can see, I'm really stepping it up this year:

But I guess you'll have to come to class tomorrow morning, 9 a.m. sharp to hear the rest of the story.

Chat soon.

xo.

Some Quotable Quotes.

This week we are speaking in Kona on some of favorite topics-photography, identity, destiny and dreaming.This post would be about 20 pages long if we put in all our notes, but we'll give you a teensy taste with a few of our favorite quotes from this week's lectures:

A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit in. Greek proverb

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.” Marcel Proust

“Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first and the lesson afterwards.” Vernon Sanders Law

All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. This I did.  T.E. Lawrence.

Yesssssssss.

More coming soon. xox.
