**Echoes of Wonder**
•
When I was piecing together the shot list for this project I knew that embracing the theme of childlike wonder meant that I was going to have to step further outside my comfort zone and introduce props. But I didn't want to utilize anything unless there was a deeper meaning behind the object.
•
The red wagon was an idea given to me by my wonderful creative genius of a friend @beholdingeye. He agreed to a chat where I could "pitch" him the project and get some feedback. Bouncing my ideas off him was SO helpful. And one of the first things he brought up after hearing about it all was "what kid didn't have a little red wagon?" I think my head exploded. I was immediately envisioning this exact composition. (Get yourself a friend like Paul)
•
In "Echoes of Wonder," the traveler’s little red wagon and discarded helmet symbolize the intersection of childhood innocence and the expansive possibilities of imagination. The sweeping dunescape represents the boundless horizons of creativity and exploration that the traveler—my son—ventures into, guided by both the simplicity of youthful play and the profound wonder of new experiences.
•
The wagon, a quintessential childhood object, signifies the journeys we undertake with an open heart and curious mind. The helmet, dragged behind, reflects the boldness of experiencing the world unshielded, embracing vulnerability and authenticity. By removing the helmet, the traveler demonstrates a fearless approach to discovery, unencumbered by barriers, fully immersed in the moment. This act of boldness highlights the courage inherent in exploring the unknown with an open and curious spirit.

**Infinite Distances**
•
This image is one of my absolute favorites from this series. As a child, sci-fi books and films like Star Wars, Back to the Future, 2001: A Space Odyssey, TRON, and Blade Runner ignited my imagination and shaped my creativity. With this image, I aimed to create something worthy of a film cover. It's a multiple exposure, which have played such a huge part in my creative journey over the years.
•
Using LEDs to capture a retro-futuristic color palette during twilight. Layered with an image of a setting sun over the Traveler's eye, it creates an almost cyborg-like figure.
•
But this image holds an even deeper meaning for me. When I started my photography journey, I was the person who would see a perfect photo opportunity but never stop to capture it, always rushing to the next task. I missed countless moments. Over the years, I’ve come to understand that life is about the journey, not the destination. Now, I strive to be someone who pauses to appreciate the little moments—whether it's a stunning sunrise or the feeling of raindrops on my face. I'm not perfect at it (My wife can attest to that 😂), but I constantly remind myself to cherish the people I love and the simpler moments in life. Most importantly, I make an effort to stop and notice the extraordinary beauty in the world around me. That is what "Infinite Distances" embodies for me

I tacked on a short video BTS for proof of no-AI for the haters🤝

🆕📷🎞️ KinaColor 26

This Recipe was a collaboration between myself and @bryanminear (although Bryan did the heavy lifting on this one). It has a retro, stylized negative film aesthetic—yet versatile enough for everyday use.

KinaColor 26 will be revealed at Fujikina NYC this coming weekend, and available in the Fuji X Weekly App soon. by @bryanminear

Visible vs Invisble light

I’ve spent the past 15 years of my life chasing pretty sunsets. But the idea that our eyes can only perceive a narrow slice of the light spectrum has always pulled at me. Infrared, ultraviolet, whole ranges of color information moving through the world, invisible to us, not because it isn’t there, but because we’re not built to see it.

I think people work the same way. What’s on the surface is real, but it’s never the whole frame. There’s more moving underneath, more history, more light, waiting for someone patient enough to render it visible.

Fatherhood taught me that. So did this camera.

A little sunset magic last night 🌅🪄

📷 GFX100RF | #myfujifilmlegacy

My seasonal creative depression has gotten the best of me for the past 3-4 months and it’s been a real struggle to be consistent. Last night was one of those unplanned moments where I snuck out of the house for an hour to decompress, and it ended up being exactly the reminder that I needed that regardless of everything going on, I’m exactly where I am supposed to be. by @bryanminear
