Film Photography Hike in Mammoth Lakes, CA

Join Connor and I on a hike to explore a few Alpine Lakes in Mammoth, California. I've included some of Connor's incredible film photos he took during the adventure.
I used to do this exact drive during many winter weekends while in University. We'd try to schedule no classes on Fridays and drive up to 8 hours Thursday night and arrive at 1/2 am. Then shred the mountain until Sunday and drive back to school only to do it all over again the next weekend. Epic.
California holds an extremely special place in my heart. I thought I had to say goodbye to a part of myself when I graduated from UCSB in 2019. Silly boy. You can take a boy out of California, but you can't take California out of the boy. My gut told me I needed to go back to get back in touch with a side of myself I'm proud to have. I'm glad I listened to it. Experiences like this one - close to nature & with great company - helped re-ignite and re-inspire me. I'm in the process of defining my own success in this life, and the best way to achieve that is understanding what I value. I've learnt that values aren't something that can be discovered just by sitting around. I have chosen to invest time and money giving myself experiences to find out what they are.
