A Santa Thought.

A Santa Thought.

As I was sitting on a giant red couch, with my Mrs. Claus. Who, in real life, has a girlfriend, not a boyfriend; which I am not against at all, and fully support. I think... Look at me, look at her, look at where we are. When I was a little boy, who's lap did I sit on and tell my wish list too. Was he a jolly old man, or did he have a story just like the rest of us, just like me and my Mrs. Claus. What about those santas that do it professionally. For example the Macy's Day Parade Santa, the most well known santa in the United States, is this just a holiday job for him, or does that one appearance make his whole  annual income? Or does he just volunteer to be santa that night and is a bar tender, or a carpenter, or a photographer like myself the rest of the year. Have you personally read some of the theories of where "Santa" came from back in history? Did he just appear, in modern day and the jolly old man who brings gifts? There are many theories out there and if your not doing anything read a few, they are pretty funny. My favorite is where the flying reindeer come from! Well just a quick thought as I am editing some photos, hope you all enjoy your evening, and get ready to hear about my new years eve experiences soon!

In a Field.

“Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.” 

‎"In a field, where we can scream. 

Get away with almost anything. Yeah, every now and then you gotta raise a little hell. 

Hope we get lucky and stay out of jail"

A few quotes that have appeared in my life recently, I thought I would share with you as I apologize. I look back thru these past months and see all of these amazing experiences that I have had, yet have not shared with you all. I hope you can accept my apology and see that I have not forgotten about this blog completely. I am here making it my new goal to stay up to date with this blog yet again, so I hope you can do me the favor and keep reading it, as I hope you enjoy hearing about my crazy adventures. 

Can you believe that it has already been over a year that I have been working as a professional photographer a ship sailing in the oceans of Hawaii!? Time sure does fly by and I am loving where I am at in this book of life. As you all know the world was suppose to end the other day, well you know what, i would have been okay with that. I have had such amazing experiences and have really rode the bull of life, I would have not regretted not doing anything or seeing anything. That does not mean that I am satisfied with my life, I plan to keep pushing the limits and finding adventures across the world. I am currently in the state of planning my next vacation that is scheduled for April 7th. I currently have the plan of traveling across the United States going to as many music festivals as possible, letting my mind get lost in the travels, seeing the country that I live in, and meeting people from across the world. Coming home from Thailand I pondered why have I never seen my own country? A country that people from around the world want to visit. So I decided I will take six weeks and explore my own surroundings before I move on to another country. I hope that make sense to everyone else. 

As for my current state of mind, I am preparing to be SANTA. I will be playing the roll of santa in three the the production shows on board as well as a walk behind the scenes, and four hours of little kids sitting on my lap. Am I nervous, heck yeah! Standing on a stage with 2700 people looking at my laugh like an idiot scares me ohhhh so much, but hey its worth it for a good laugh and another bucket list item. Most people in the world can not say they have been santa on a cruise ship! 

Oh last thought before you leave me, I just wanted to show you a little bit of work that my partner Alex Mitroff and I have been working on. As usual I am still in my flip flops out in the sun shooting families crashing in the waves of the Hawaii island. Am I bored with it, maybe a little. But hey even if I complained would you believe me!? 

Happy holidays everyone, I hope you all have a smile on your face. Love you all and hope to see you soon, thanks for taking a little time out of your day to read my blog!
