I got to hear Obama’s White House photographer @petesouza talk last night about his book. We laughed AND cried. He’s got some incredible stories to tell! Thank you, Pete for the impressive work. Can’t wait to see what other projects you’re working on. . . . #petesouza #boston #backbayboston #harvardbookstore #obama #photographer (at Back Bay Events Center)

My Abuelo was almost 101 years old when he died April 8, 2010. I wish my two youngest could've met him. He was an amazing man. I took this photo of him in 2009. . . . #makeportraits #family #abuelo #abuelos #texas #texasfarmers #portraitphotographer #postthepeople #photooftheday #vsco #grandparents #centenarian

I just returned home from my first trip to Montana and Glacier National Park. I loved every second, and I took over a thousand photos. These are a few of my favorite images including the grizzly we hid from on our first hike.

Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won’t have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren’t even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they’re doing it.

Thoughts for 2016: “Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor...”
