Are you thankful - regardless?


the lovely Tanya at KoFest
the lovely BBQ and noodles at KoFest

the handiwork of one creative child

one Filipina's humble attempt at frottage

our humble attempt to have an Abercrombie-esque photoshoot with Tanya and the Prince of Togo at KoFest

The FanMan and his associates livin' the dream

Finally, my art teacher lets us utilize color... After two years of fine arts class..I took a photo of my pencils in the middle of class. Yeah the sullen hipsters judged me...

The sign says "Beer" - what else needs to be said.

We are determined to get this Abercrombie-esque photoshoot done right! (even after 2 hours of shooting our "Man with No Dignity" short film...)

Oh fig season! It was too short. I already miss you. How am I supposed to garnish my crumpets?

Are you thankful - regardless?
Sometimes life happens so fast we forget to examine and rest in what is simple, joyful and beautiful. Be thankful for each day - regardless. Be thankful when someone you love supports you - regardless. Be thankful for authentic friends who take the time to listen to you - regardless. Be thankful for the praises and the critics - regardless. Be thankful for your joys and your setbacks - regardless. Be thankful for your life circumstances - regardless.

As we come to one of the most wonderful times of the year, I know a lot of people get really anxious, worrisome, and feel rushed. I've heard people just wish we could hurry up and be done with the holidays. Why do people set such high expectations on themselves?

What has happened to us? Why can't you just do three things: Be with good people. Eat some good food and savor a quality beverage. That's it.
What else is there really?

I encourage you to be authentically thankful - regardless.
How are you blessed, nourished, and supported?
And, how can you slow down to truly savor this abundant life you really have?
How can you truly examine what is unfolding, unraveling, and revealing to you?
