yes... BUT

I'm EXTREMELY late to the trend, but figured I'd finally make this post because it gives me an excuse to talk about my favorite part of the Fujifilm X100VI! NO EDITING NECESSARY 👀

All of these photos were taken on a recent trip in Japan and they all use the same film recipe! This camera genuinely makes me enjoy taking photos again and cuts out all the post-editing time! Get more of your time back! If you can't tell by now... I love this little camera!

On June 28th, 2026, I finally stopped running. I gave my life to Jesus and began a new life in Christ. Today I was baptized 🙏🏼

Transparently I’ve gone back and forth about sharing this because there is still so much shame attached to this part of my story. But I’m trying not to let shame keep me from testifying to what Jesus has done for me. To be honest most of my life I’ve been running and chasing and I didn’t even realize it. I had an amazing life. A beautiful wife and family I loved, opportunities, money, a career, and somehow I was still deeply empty after reaching so many of the things I thought would fulfill me. In December of last year, I woke up frustrated, confused, exhausted, and started questioning almost everything I had ever believed.

(continued in next picture 1/6)

In the weeks that followed, I completely unraveled. I made choices that nearly burned my life to the ground. I hurt the people closest to me. I betrayed people who loved me. I made selfish choices that I will regret for the rest of my life. I hated who I had become, and I reached a point where I didn’t want to live anymore. I hit rock bottom, and for the first time in my life, I couldn’t run anymore and I had no idea what to do. when I looked up to see the wreckage I had caused, somehow I found my wife still standing there, extending a kind of grace and love toward me that humanly did not make sense. Through her, I believe God began showing me what His grace and love looked like in a way I had never understood before.

(continued in next picture 2/6)

I grew up in church. I clung to a prayer I said when I was five. I knew the Bible stories, knew the songs, and even stood on stages leading worship. I had done all the “right” Christian things. But when everything fell apart, I had to ask myself if I actually knew Jesus, or if I just knew about Him. I started having really honest conversations with God. If You’re real, show me. If any of this is real, speak to me. If You want me, draw me to Yourself. And slowly He did. Over the months that followed, I began understanding God’s love and grace in a way I never had before. I saw the broken, selfish, imperfect parts of myself I had spent

my camera roll after 7 days in Japan

Finally made it out to Japan which has been a dream of mine for the last 6 years! The light here just constantly felt cinematic and it didn't matter what time of day! Some of my favorite shots were taken during the middle of the day, which is usually very rare in photography! Seeing this country, the different cities and the culture felt like stepping into a dream and I fell in love with it immediately!

6 months of Kainos Collective

It is genuinely insane to see all that has transpired over the course of half a year! 10 months ago when we first met at a coffee shop, we had no idea this is exactly where God would have us right now!

This is just the beginning 🚀
