I have been inspired recently by the latest high-adventure snowboard film The Art Of Flight featuring pro rider Travis Rice. The entire film was captivating and brought snowboarding and film making to a new level. In the film Travis says: "You know its funny what is happening to us. Our lives have become digital. Our friend is now virtual. And everything you could want to know is just a click away. Experiencing the world through endless second hand information isn't enough. If we want authenticity, we have to initiate it." This thought has been running through my mind since I first heard it, and it has stirred up anxiety both in my soul and creative mind. We live in a world filled with information, technologies, and opportunities available to the masses, and so who are we to create anything original or authentic? This is my journey, to create, produce, find, present, and share authenticity through photography and film. Is it an overwhelming thought? Yes. Will I be successful in this journey? Only God knows, and whether I make it big, or fail trying, I am stoked to embark on this journey through the next phase of creativity and life.
