After a week + away from the boards, I put some reps in tonight. Nothing spectacular but the voluntary list was what I needed to get the reps in on.

I’ll be heading to Buenos Aires in a month to compete in my first meet in 20 years with @usamastersdiving at the PanAm Aquatics Championships!

We have a great group of folks from the US attending. Cant wait to meet everyone and best of all will have my wife with me, cheering me on!

Then we come home and run a half marathon together in Nashville - let’s be real her running story is the thing that got all of this going again - she’s amazing. @lora_kelley @storied.living keep crushing it love!

As a photographer that’s traveled all over the world, I’ve often wanted to start a print shop to share my imagery with the world.

I do have but have over sold any prints from it. Sure, wedding galleries but not my travel prints.

Over the last few years ive been mulling joint ventures with other artists who could paint, draw or collage on my images. It would be a fun venture.

I thought about digital painting and various methods.

I’ve had these test prints the last few months and it hit me the other day that I should paint on them myself with my acrylic paint markers.

I’d like to introduce you to my Alien Invasion series. This is the first of 3 prints that I have ready.

My images from around the world. Marked on from my imagination. Each print will be one of a kind and available to ship worldwide.

The site is building as I type. Comment ALIENS and I’ll get you on the list for when they it’s ready to go live.

Art, artwork, one of a kind, prints

Today’s workout. Handstands on the beach.

I paused from work for a St Tropez handstand on the beach. Easier than I expected!

Enjoy your Sunday!

40 days without alcohol and processed foods and I’m finally starting to feel the belly flatten. #dadbod taken in Saint Tropez by @its_erickelley

That’s one way to work on your tan lines…

@lora_kelley dared me to post her video. Here we are…

Overnight flight means jet lag and feeling funky, so I did what I could today.

Got a nap in by the pool to work on those tan lines, went out to find my buddies and then back to the room to prep for work. #dadbod #adventure #getitdone

It’s more about building habits and keeping it going than a big workout if I can’t make it happen. taken in Saint-Tropez, France by @its_erickelley

Do you feel like you’ve lost some of the smile in your life too? Some of the joy you had as a kid?

I’ve found it easy to push in life, to work, to get out there and accomplish.

And in so doing, lost some of the happy go lucky attitude of my younger self.

Finding that return of the smile, of the pause, of the break, the moment, has been a wonderful by product of this diving adventure.

It’s been over a month since I had alcohol. I cut out 99% or processed foods. I’m lighter, stronger, quicker, both finding more focus when I settle in and more desire to slow down a little and be where I am, enjoying who I’m with more, linger a little longer.

This life goes so quick. Here’s to watching more of it in real time without such a push.

I don’t know about you, but I have started a million journals and sketchpads. 🤦🏼‍♂️ most have a few pages used in them and many still blank pages.

This one is different. I’ve been on a journey of practicing more regularly several things. 689 days of Duolingo, journaling as often as I can, writing down daily goals, tasks, things I need and want to do, paying attention to health, working out, diving. More sketching and practicing skills that I have but have let rest for the last number of years.

Often I’d buy a notebook because it looked cool, but this one is bleh and that’s why I got it. It’s what is inside that matters, it’s a place to play, it’s a place for a mental recess, a reset, a pause, a gathering what’s inside and putting it somewhere on the outside of my mind.

I see people that seem advanced in their skills and I often just think they have been that way without work, without practice, when in reality, they have the daily habits locked down.

This is what I’m practicing, with my photography, my diving, my art, my business, my family. To practice and learn the skills everyday. A little learning everyday. Over time will be practiced skills. That sounds fun, exciting, new everyday while also strengthening the core of who I am.

I believe some of this is about practicing putting my oxygen mask on before others (while not being selfish) and rebuilding some of the things that have been resting that make me feel most alive. taken in Nashville Airport - Southwest Terminal by @its_erickelley
