The Moment I Lost My Mind

August 26, 2017, 6:45 p.m.

I spent a long afternoon driving farther than I needed to, but that's often how it goes when pursuing extraordinary skies. After unsuccessfully capturing anything noteworthy near Willcox, Arizona, I drove back towards Tucson watching closely as storms began to grow off of the Rincon Mountains. Upon setting up my cameras just off the highway, I watched one of the best sunsets I've ever witnessed. Thorugh a surreal orange rain curtain lit up by the setting sun, lightining would constantly flash through, and I was at a loss for words. I've yet to see skies that have matched this color palette since, but I'll keep searching until I see this again.

It's amazing how easily it is to find ourselves giving in to complacency and grinding daily through an ordinary routine of work, eat, sleep. I also accepted a routine of hiding my true self before the world, and it further eroded any hopes of chasing my passion. Eventually I found myself at a crossroads that only offered one road to healing, choosing to live as my authentic self. Through support from a few family and friends, I was able to see the world through a sort of technicolor eye. I'm trans, but I'm also a parent, a spouse, a guitar player, a public speaker, and a photographer who wants to show the world that life can be as extraordinary as the skies I pursue. Welcome to my world of technicolor.
