#tbt to one year ago when I showed up for work one morning to shoot a little #greenscreen setup for an off Broadway show called #hamiltonmusical By the day's end, I knew that I had witnessed a glimpse of something truly special, and when I finally saw the show for the arrival on Broadway last July, I felt the #hamilton buzz and became obsessed...something I honestly don't do with #theater. I've since listened to the album a thousand times, followed the successes and insights of some of its talented cast @be_strux @jonrua1 @leslieodomjr and just this Monday saw these guys win thier much deserved #grammy ! In just one year, this larger than life show has proven to be more than just a successful musical, but a true revolution on its own, sparking a much needed flame of inspiration and history into today's American culture. Hats off to @lin.manuel.miranda 's genius and to the entire @hamiltonmusical cast and crew for making history. #notthrowingawaymyshot #waitforit #hamilton #broadway #wholiveswhodieswhotellsyourstory #setpics #bts #cimaimagearts

After my blessing from the wonderful women of #SupiIndia #Himalayas #thisisindia #selfie #cimaimagearts

To get to #SupiIndia you have to endure an insane drive, starting with 8 hours of blind windy turns, and finishing with a final 1-2 hours of narrow, deadly, switchbacks. Traffic can get bad though... #goatworthy #trafficjam #uttarakhand #Himalayas #indianhimalayas #sketchydrives

Welcome to #SupiIndia. One of the last remote villages in northern India at the foothills of the #Himalayas, practically untouched by outside civilizations. I'm not quite sure where to begin, as I'm still processing this magnificent place and my experiences here seem beyond any social media post I could make about it. All I can say now is that the people and beauty here is incredibly humbling and I'll always hold a special place in my heart for this magnificent community. #embarkadventure #villageways #anninc #cimaimagearts #india #uttarakhand
