Since I’ve graduated college college I’ve been struggling to figure out the motion of life. Control and chaos coexist, most of it can be pretty opaque, and sometime you just have to throw hail mary’s. I still have a lot to learn about life, but I’ve realized that there needs to be a balance between adapting and driving through the fluidity of life.
With that in mind, here are my words I’m using to approach 2012:
Dream - Last year I realized I stopped letting myself dream. I’m going to let myself dream. BIG. I’m thankful for people like Paul Farmer, Muhammad Yunus, Jacqueline Novogratz, and artists like David duChemin, Jeremy Cowart, Zack Arias, Chase Jarvis, Explosions in the Sky, Banksy, Shepard Fairey, etc. who inspire me to look deeper at what’s possible in the world.
Let us dream the wildest possible dreams and then pursue them. - Muhammad Yunus
Pursue - Those who change the world are the ones that “dream the wildest possible dreams and then pursue them.” Little by little—every step, with the frame of my dreams in mind. I spent last year reacting until the final few months of the year. Never again (hopefully). JUST DO IT.
Relax - I want to remember to relax. Breathe. Do me. Taking time to really stop, reflect, and enjoy some quiet. Remembering that I am not on anyone’s clock, or restricted to other’s social standards or benchmarks. Acknowledging the necessity for balance with passion. Ensuring that I am refreshed, invigorated, and dreaming and pursuing for the right reasons. (Screw being busy for the sake of being busy. #hamletsblackberry)
Twist: I’m going to be creating a few specific actions around these themes this go. 2012, I’m PUMPED. :)

Killing some time before my flight back to Portland. Made a ridiculous team logo for my fantasy basketball team. Defending my title this year!
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Brought a mouse problem to the office today…

Over 600 individuals, 500+ photos delivered, and 40+ volunteers coming together to make Help-Portrait Boston 2011 happen this year. It was worth the lack of sleep - what a blast!
Thanks to the photographers, volunteers, and make-up artists/hair stylists who came out. Special thanks to Jessica Pegg, Jenna Gagne, and Yi Chin Chen from Hyde Square Task Force who really drove the detail front and Calumet Photographic + personal supporters who helped make the day happen!

One of Andy’s favorite basketball players was Brandon Roy. He told me that BEFORE he knew I was from Oregon. We had a great time together. After he got his prints he liked his photos so much he came back so we could get a photo together! His caption on our photo wall downstairs said: “Freshest album cover ever!”
