I didn’t go out looking for magic. But sometimes, it finds you anyway.
Deep in the alpine hush, where Sugar Pines rise like ancient pillars, I found a place that felt untouched by urgency. Their trunks reached so high they vanished into a canopy of filtered gold and blue — like watching the sky fall through lace.
I set my camera down more than I used it. Just to stand. To listen. To let the breath of the forest wash over me. These weren’t just trees. They were guardians of memory, keepers of storms and centuries.
When I finally lifted my lens, it wasn’t to take — it was to honour.
