Wonder | My Path to Yosemite
I had always wondered what Yosemite would be like—the way the chapel’s organ might sound, how the waterfalls would roar, what it would feel like to stand among giants.
My path there wasn’t direct—canceled twice, leading me instead through Arches, Zion, and Bryce Canyon before I finally arrived. But along the way, I found myself wondering even more.
My 2024 trip through Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon was nothing short of incredible. I rarely take time to reflect, so I created this film—and I thought I would share.
I hope you enjoy this personal, and deeply rewarding project.
