Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure

Snoqualmie Falls with Salish Lodge about 30 miles east of Seattle. I was on assignment here recently and had a few minutes for some nature pics. I also played around with my new Zhiyun Crane and Sony A6500, a great combination. The water flow was actually kind of low compared to earlier Spring, but still beautiful.
Triple Falls, Upper Horsetail Falls. A great couple of hikes today just east of Portland along the historic route 30. Absolutely fantastic way to spend the later part of day.
One waterfall apiece. I really thought I was about to see a hat trick of Darwin awards. Notice all three people are standing on a damp, slick surface with a level 10, code red deacceleration trauma at the end of a long slide - all for a photo. It was really worrisome to watch people do this. Two other girls were doing the same thing moments before. However, these three seemed so intent on lining up with their own waterfall exit you could hear the moment knocking at the door even above the roar of the crashing water. Luckily, nothing happened. That being said, things like this do happen every day this time of year. Our national parks are stunning places and this hike was one of the best I've undertaken in a long time. So many waterfalls and beautiful scenes. With all that I saw, I couldn't get this potential tradegy out of my head - and it didn't even happen. Be careful as you enjoy an amazing summer. Remember, if you die - that story will be told over and over. Don't let it be a face-palm ending. Stay safe!
Final day of shooting on Saipan. Amazing day. Lots I would love to share but I can't. I'll announce more closer to the air date.
Standing above a hole in the lava rock looking at the molten version below. Very anxiety inducing.
A short series from the Salton Sea in California. A bizarre and, when the light is just right, beautiful place.
I turned to my left and said, “Hey, moose.” I didn’t hear a sound until I was right on it. I said to my friend, “Here’s a moose.” “What? Where?,” he replied. “Right there,” pointing about twenty feet away. We looked back to our guide for advice. He was quickly walking in the opposite direction. No worries. This one was a good boy.
Another pic from Alaska near the Lake George Glacier. An amazing place that still feels like you are the first visitor. I was able to see some places in this region with no visible sign of man.
From a recent trip to Death Valley. Winter and early spring are great times to visit. Remarkable stars at night!
Taken during a recent assignment to Alaska. This was near Lake George Glacier. A stunning location! I’ll post more from the same trip.
I creative produced a music video last year. For my friend's band. I've worked in film for years now, and music videos are still my favorite thing to shoot. Very happy to have crossed "make a music video" off my bucket list. I've worked on videos for different companies, but this was different--this one was all me & my friends. We shot the video in 12 hours and it turned out great!
I wore a lot of hats for it, and designed a lot of sets (many that got scrapped from the video, but hey thats how it go sometimes). It's a 6 minute long instrumental so we got a lot of footage!
I love these pics cos that's the director, Jae holding that light. On small indie shoots like this everyone wears multiple hats! This scene was shot in our friend's barn :)
I'm leaving a link to the finished video here, plz check it out and lemme kno what you think!

30 years ago the American rap scene was defined by sounds easily identifiable, even to the untrained ear. Since the mass rap "shake-up" of the '90's, the sound has become more diverse, by introducing new genres such as trap, mumble and crunk. But let's take rap back to it's roots with this up and coming artist, 34Profitt.
Profitt's discography is full of influence from past and present rap legends, with his sound pendulum-swinging between classic RnB and contemporary rap. Personally, I think Profitt really shines when he takes from those East-West coast elements derivative of 90's rap.
The standout song from his small collection, "Get It By Tomorrow" really shows where this artist has potential to shine. The production value has been carefully curated to transport a listener through time, or better yet, teleport you to the lands of Los Santos, where you're bound to go 120 with Franklin in the drivers seat. Profitt's use of the classic elements of 90's rap, creates a blend of East-West coast sounds, reminiscent of Biggie and Tupac. The lyrics are quick-witted and leave impact with the listener, and the instrumental takes from the rising low-fi elements of today, further creating a sound that resembles that of yesteryear, with a touch of today.
Don't be fooled by the album graphics, after all, you can't judge a book - or should I say a song? - by its cover. This sound of music is not something that is commonly heard today, and with only THREE monthly listeners, and very little to know about the artist, jump on this train before anybody else!

FRANK AND BARBARA REYNOLDS PORNS WHERE DEE AND DENNIS REYNOLDS PUSH THEIR WAY IN TO START HARDCORE TAKING COCK
I'm stuck in a bit of a pickle at the moment. I've been a little kinda sorta completely fucking gutted by the election results. I feel so utterly saddened for 2SLGBTQIA+ people, BIPOC, women, people with disabilities who now have to live beneath that man's shadow.
Among the sadness is an ache.
An ache to do something. An ache to take action of some kind. I have no idea what kind yet, but I can't stop thinking about it. I am brewing. Do I mean to create something? I don't know yet. I'll figure it out. But I mean to do something.
Community.
I've been reading lately. A book called "How To Think Like A Woman," by Regan Penaluna. The book tells the author's personal memoir, as well as the stories of 4 Early-Modern philosophers (who were women). I'm not a particularly smart person, sometimes I needed to read a paragraph or even a passage multiple times to really 'get it,' but some things stuck with me.
These philosophers were steadfast in their beliefs that women were deserving of education, asylum from abusive husbands, that they shouldn't need to hide their sexuality, that they should be allowed to pursue their intellectual desires just as a man could. But in these demands they each were specific. These freedoms were not meant to enable selfishness in women, as they often did in men. They believed that these freedoms, for all people, also came with the duty to better one's community - to give back. That embracing the people, valuing the people, fostering each individual, would further the community.
This point of community is where I've been stuck all day long. We all need community right now. We need shoulders to cry on, we need friends to laugh with, we need wise folk to tell us what the fuck to do now.
I don't know what I'm going to do - or make - but community needs to be a central theme.
Queerness & Transness.
I also feel like I've created nothing inherently queer. I've abandoned writing for some years now, my projects are old. Older than my realizations about identity. Older than my epiphanies about transness. I want to do something fuckin' gay as hell. I want to pour energy into something that may in some small way counterbalance the hate being screamed into the universe, infecting the pretty space-dust that I wanted to use to highlight my blush. I want to create something that whispers with a forked tongue: "Fuck. You."
Fact or Fiction.
Will it be fact or fiction? Do I want to search for beautiful, real stories to tell and help spread them? Or do I want to create something entirely new? I'm not a documentary producer, but should I be? My heart is in crafting stories, but maybe it's time to set that aside for a while in order to spread true stories that inspire good and justice. Maybe I'd better stick to what I know and make something up.
Abilities // Restrictions.
I am one person. Alone I can write, but that is difficult without an idea. I have the tinder and plenty of firewood, but I need a fucking spark. Once I have the spark I can do more.
I'm a filmmaker, I produce and edit. That's what I enjoy doing best. Not shit I can do without the idea. So for now those sit on the backburner.
I also have a(n admittedly small) rolodex of lovely queer individuals who may also feel a little distraught at the moment. Might be time to meet with them to discuss working on... something?
Budget is zero. Don't know what the project is so right now necessary funds are also zero, which is great. But nobody's getting paid for whatever the fuck comes of this, unless I can be smart.
Ending For Now.
This is all I can bear to write and word-vomit for now. I have been so full of energy and stress thinking about this all day long. I needed to get my thoughts out. If you feel the same ache I do, if there's any way I can help you make your "Fuck. You." project, or if you want to contribute to mine, please DM me and I'll be so happy to discuss and talk.
Please be safe, please be there for your fellow human beings, please be good to each other.
