As a hopeful spiritual yet acutely logical realist, there is a definitive internal conflict with the idea of, "meant to be". On one hand I love the idea of letting go of control and seeing where the universe guides you, following dharma. On the other side, the thought of a bunch of particles, the unknown, guiding me anywhere is absurd and I realize the only thing guiding me is my choices. The realist in me practices, learns, and prepares so that when a situation presents itself I am equipped to handle it. Continuously trying to put myself in places and opportunities to gain growth and knowledge. This can feel overwhelming at times, because the weight of everything that happens is squarely on your shoulders. The spiritual part of me follows my internal dialogue and various empathetic signs of the universe(god), that I entertain loosely as guidance. Following the idea that my path should be the one of least resistance, that if I just tune out the noise I will find the flow I am meant to be in. This has allowed me to; overcome fears of being alone, find myself in places just because, learn to be extremely free flowing and observant, trust that I am where I am supposed to be. Often one side wins out over the other, and on this night, I answered the spiritual call to the mountains. I drove through pouring rain wondering what I was going to photograph besides a dreary fog that seemed to be everywhere. As I drove around listening to music with no plans of anywhere specific, the clouds began to break up and I thought of this spot, wondering if the fog would clear in time for sunset. It did and it was beautiful. Perhaps it was meant to be? Today, I like thinking that it was! #emformdesign #meanttobe #subaruwrx #hwy108 #sierranevadas #creativewriting #mythoughts https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx5JAUnhpdz/?igshid=1jgwacanb899e

Moments like this, from this past fall, remind me about being prepared. From having the right gear, to anticipating the weather, each piece contributes to the captured image. But no matter how well I prep, no matter what I think I know, the anxiety of getting out there is still going to be there. For example, a classic worry for me is chapstick. Ya, I know it seems ridiculous, but when I am out waiting for the right light, the wind blowing, the cold drying out my skin...chapstick is an amazing comfort. Sometimes I even go as far as to think a whole trip will be ruined by chapped lips! So I overthink, overanalyze, and by the groans in my stomach I can tell I need to just find a gas station in the middle of nowhere and buy a $5 stick of moisture to calm my frazzled nerves. What is my point here? Maybe nothing much...but when I look back at these photos, I cant remember if I had a tube of lip lube or not. So I suppose, it is more important to just go and get out there, even if you're a little uncomfortable. #emformdesign #creativewriting #hwy108 #monocounty #fallcolors #getoutthere https://www.instagram.com/p/BsOeOjhAMyE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wdiuaztbtruu

Got back from a work meeting in Stockton last night, and stopped to take this shot when the sun popped out between showers. #sonorapass #hwy108 #tuolumnecounty #sierra #sierranevada #landscapephotography #canon #canon6d #canonphotography (at Sonora Pass)
