Five years ago a remarkable video was released by Fstoppers and photographer Patrick Hall. At the time I wasn’t sure why it resonated so deeply with me but I had to have watched it dozens of times. I showed my wife and she too watched multiple times with awestruck eyes glued to the screen.

I’ve been in a creative blackout for the past seven or so years of my life. This coincides with when I became a caregiver for my ailing Father as his health declined. Every day was spent battling the bureaucracy of health insurance companies and veterans disability benefits.
