almost forgot that this is the whole point
.
watching The Alpinist.
scenes of Marc in Patagonia. that tune played automatically in my head. so many feels.
i might have lived 1% of the adventure and danger, but i did have my fair share. though that feels like a different lifetime already. it was quite a life. i remember the first time i stepped out of the bus and breathe my first air of Patagonia. no words. the air felt different… and so was the ground and the trees and the sky. one of the best things that came out from living spontaneously(in the past). 4 months prior, i only had flight tickets from Phils to Brazil and back. nothing was set on my calendar except for the 15-day shoot in Ecuador. i figured out where to go and what to do through the people i met on the road. i wish i had more time in Patagonia though so i could have done more hikes and stuff. was supposed to say should’ve “took more photos” but i doubt that.
.
patagonia was a dream. it was wild, remote, simple and, just, sublime. i was awestruck until the day i flew out.
.
in the movie, Alex Honnold said Marc did his thing never for accollades, money, fame. he did it just because.
.
far from great but i sort of share the same philosophy. whether its photography, traveling or life in general.
i just want to experience life fully i guess.

and i almost forgot that that is the whole point
