An interesting thing happens when your play becomes your work and vice-versa. The creative cycle can turn into a "creative routine", which translates to redundancy, which translates into monotony, which translates into unhappiness, inspiration block, etc. The solution? PLAY!!! Get those endorphins firing and break the mold a bit. Challenge yourself. A healthy injection of randomness is great for breaking any routine.

If you know me, you know I love to play outside. Growing up in Deep Creek Lake provided me with a wealth of outdoor experiences and exposure and I love sharing those experiences with others.

On this day, videographers Garrity (whom I highly recommend for wedding videography) & Riley, + me, pried ourselves from the comfort of our beds at 5AM to join friends/hosts Justin Liller, Ashley Liller, & Adam Fadley (Hard As Oak Strength & Conditioning) for a little "Sunrise Session" of wakesurfing, wakeboarding, photo & video. There's something supremely satisfying about bringing everyone's talents together, and just seeing what comes of it.
