Before the movie starts at El Capitan Theatre, the lights take center stage. This rare pre-show ritual blends color, sound, and presence inviting you to pause, reset, and arrive fully. It’s not just a show; it’s a moment of cinematic ceremony, and I captured it just as it unfolded.

Before the movie began, something rare happened: the curtain danced. At El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, this pre-show ritual is more than a performance it’s a moment of cinematic ceremony. I captured it in one take, no edits, as a reminder that movement isn’t always about the body, sometimes, it’s about reverence, rhythm, and presence.

Before FormaFit had a name, I packed a bottle of my preworkout Amplificador, and flew to London. I didn’t know exactly what I was building, but I brought it with me anyway. I snapped photos of it on public bike racks, park benches, and train station walls. I carried it through movement, across a map, through the fog of uncertainty and family drama. I didn’t get the Franklin photos but I had the bottle. That was the real story I was living. That was the signal: something was already amplifying.

The commercial divers exhibit at the Maritime Museum wasn’t just a display, it was a portal into a world of extraordinary strength, danger, and legacy. Seeing the gear they wore, the weights they carried, and the environments they worked in was humbling. It made me reflect on how the infrastructure we benefit from today was quite literally built under pressure.

These divers weren't just brave-they were foundational! Their contributions helped create underwater infrastructure that supports our daily lives. As a diver myself (nowhere near their level), I can only imagine the physical and mental strength it took to do what they did.

Their tools were heavy. Their risk was high. Their impact was lasting. And they reminded me: Work is honorable.
