Today, i’m typing this, sitting in a lovely lounge room in a house that belongs to my wonderful photographer friend Perry Thompson.  I’m listening to the beautiful, amazing & talented Toni Knapman playing the Three Words song that she wrote for this website.. and I’m wearing my favourite shirt.. drinking Canada Dry Ginger Ale…I’m feeling the dull ache of a workout slowly dissapear.. and I’m enjoying life! Since arriving in north america just over 3 weeks ago, I have barely had a full night sleep.. but for some reason it hasn’t affected me. I’ve also skipped every second meal, and I still feel on top of the world. 

I’ve done many incredible things in the past few weeks here in North America and my time here is about to come to an end. To jog my memory later, I’m going to put a quick list of things here that I’ve done. 

Visited New York, met an angel, ate pizza, drunk ginger ale, shared my heart, met Bon Jovi, was photographed by my hero Jesh De Rox, met a man who will be remembered long after he leaves this earth, shared a meal with a homeless man, shared my love of God so deeply with people, planned something that will change my life forever, listened, made new life long friends, met Lauren Graham, cried, prayed, wrote recorded and filmed a song, photographed 4 weddings, photographed 1 amazing family, have -practiced loving people, met Dan Akroyd, relaxed, spent alot of time on buses and planes & talked on the phone A LOT…

 and also…Photographed 1 amazing “a beautiful beginning” shoot for Amanda & Jeff. A huge congratulations to Amanda, who last week won the Beach volleyball Open tournament here in Canada!

Tomorrow, I will be photographing their wedding
