The picture you see here is the kind of picture I’ve been taking for years.
I love my family immensely and consequently, I love taking pictures of them.
The picture above is of my wife Rocky, our friend Holly and our awesome kid, Indiana.
We were on Lake Erie in upstate New York at Evangola State Park.
Next week I’m flying to New Orleans to meet up with this guy:
This is Zoriah. Zoriah is a photojournalist and war photographer.
If there has been a major event in the world, chances are very good that Zoriah has been there to cover it.
The list of places Zoriah’s photos have been published is massive. But the top few include:
Newsweek • BBC News • The Wall Street Journal • CNN • Fortune Magazine • NPR
I have the very unique opportunity to participate in one of his photojournalism workshops. This is a one-on-one workshop where Zoriah and I will be going through the Louisiana area shooting the life of people effected by the recent oil spill.
This was a birthday present from Rocky. It’s, without a doubt, the most awe-inspiring gifts I’ve ever received. I’m incredibly excited. But I’m also extremely humbled by participating in this workshop with Zoriah and also shooting this incredible catastrophe. Straight up, I’m a little nervous about the whole event. I really can’t imagine what it’s going to be like.
But I wanted to tell you what I am up to.
If you are interested in keeping track of my week-long journey, I encourage you to be sure you are following me on Twitter and/or Facebook.

I’ll be posting photos there and possibly some video.
My life pursuit is to deeply experience as much as I possibly can while I’m on this earth. This opportunity fits perfectly in my life values.
See you on the other side.

My name is Sage Frederick Lewis. My kid's name is Indiana Sage Lewis. I am filled with love and passion for many things in life. The list of things I like about life is MUCH longer than the things I don't like about life. So, since you don't have all day reading about the mundane things I love (some of which, btw, include: Rocky, Indy, SageRock, movies, pizza, cheesecake, running, exploring.) here are the things I don't like:
Driving
Meetings
Zucchini (I like it fine. I'm just allergic.)
I think that's pretty much it.

May the Lord walk with you, my friend. I think this trip will be a game changer for you. I hope you are able to lift some hearts while you are down there and let them know they have a place in our hearts. If you have a chance, look up social media author Paul Chaney (Bizzuka). He lives about 30 miles away in Layfayette. I’ll DM you his contact information. Sometimes it’s nice to know a local.

Hi Susie!
Thanks for writing. I do wonder what this kind of experience will do to me. I’ll definitely let you know.
I’ll see if I can meet up with Paul. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to or not. But if I can I definitely will.
Take care!
Sage
