"8 or so hours later, work almost complete. Most guys would call it a night. Not him. Continued to work and shade until it was as he wanted.

An artist, certainly. Time and money mean very little. It’s about getting it right and doing it right. I admire someone who takes pride in their work. Admire someone who doesn’t cut corners.

When we were done he said something like,

“When I’m finished a tattoo I should feel happy. I know I should. Somehow I feel empty”

He’s puts something of himself into each piece. I dig that."

"Driving often leads to tenius strains of deep thought. Pondering, I suppose. After a particularly long day at work in which I spent much of it browsing the Magnum archives I had some time to ponder.

The point in which your photography “looks” meaningless is probably the very same point at which you become a real photographer.

Meaning in photography is tantamount to feeling. Photography for it’s own sake is meaningless in that it doesn’t evoke.

It’s meant to evoke.

It’s meant to be emotive.

I heard once there comes a point in every photographer’s journey where they decide they hate everything they’ve done.

Growth..."

"Perpetual movement and action. A busy mind is a content one. Busy hands are not idle.

We are meant to move and interact. Being scared of a future that may or may not be is futile. What will be, will be.

Being scared of a decision you may or may not make; makes for idleness..."

Regret

"Time.

Yesterday, watching some videos I did with my buddy Chad on a motorcycle trip to Jeju-do about two years ago I had an epiphany. It went something like this,

“What the fuck was wrong with me?”

At the time of that trip, we were planning more trips, had a website, a twitter. We had followers.

More importantly, we had fun.

I look back at it, and those five or so days are still some of the best of my life. I hate to look back at what could of been, but, I believe this situation leaves me no choice.

Regret.

One thing I’ve learned from everything that has happened since is that sometimes it’s okay to be selfish. Doing things while you have the chance to; because you want to. Two years ago (almost three), in the span of a month everything changed and I stopped doing for me. In doing what I thought was “right” I ended up forsaking what I should have. I ended up taking a back seat.

Even worse,

I almost lost a friend.

It’s an overused cliche, but we really do see the make of our friends during our own times of struggle. Friends don’t stay bitter, they help. Friends put aside; take one for the proverbial “team.”

I take solace only in the fact that it certainly isn’t too late. It’s not too late to adventure more. Not too late to take what I should have had and do what I should have done.

It’s not too late to live."
