THE RETURN by Micah Mackenzie

First Sight~ To be showcased at the BLUE SPIRAL

Return to to my emotions..

My last Blog post was dated in 2019..

Right before…

You know.

I find it oddly intriguing that I slowed down then. Ripping the cloth of on my brain as if it has rested for so long. I collect bumps and bruises along the way, trudging, remembering what I never forgot. `I so often think the SECRET to life is just understanding that time is a teacher as well. My best teacher.

The Grand Gesture~ by Micah Mackenzie

Your childhood shapes who you are, Period. Those lessons taught with actions more so than words. A good life should be the goal of every human on this planet. Animals seem to translate this better than any human I have seen so far these travels.

Owning ones journey is the toughest test ever created. By choice and ????? we crave the paths that have shaped us. I recently decided to hack my way through this last journey. It was a pull I have never felt before in my life. The extreme urge to go and meditate in one spot on this earth. 

Waking up in those sacred lands was something else! I slept in my car on the side off the road in a perfected patched spot on the first night. A spot where I could see a cougar or moose from about 5ft away. So yeah, scared shitless, but happy. I made it! I drove through some of south I have never dared think about. I did not regret it. I saw a inspiring vision of what would be. Rugged, Beautiful and truly fascinating with all us souls and stories. You have to live/write the story that will make you cry in the end. From such experiences that all come to an end. You have to live that life now. Hold no ill will toward any man or woman. We are a mix of cosmic soup that still stirs and creates anew and destroys you, if you let it. 

I am mightier than a mountain. When I walk the earths shakes underneath me feet. That's my attitude. I almost forgot that is what I told the child in me so long ago. So I took a journey to show that little guy the crater. Was that part of the pull to be there, yes, but not fully. When you do what you love, NOTHING will stop you from doing it. Spoken like a true artist ,right? Well Hell, I am, to the fullest in my soul. 

I saw the Sunrise and the Moonset at the same time on my first morning there at the Canyon.

This is Na'ama~ by Micah Mackenzie

 Fierce and courageous in life. I have the privilege to learn and grow with Na'ama in my studio and in beautiful settings around these sacred lands. She reminds me of an ancient queen in her youth. She is full of fire and the sun covers its eyes to gaze apon her. I can sense all the strong women and courageous warriors that have come before her when theragraphy* is happening. 

She radiates love and passion. When we first started hanging out it was because our energy knew each other before we said a word. I am so thankful for her and I look forward to seeing where she will go. Na'ama is off to NY soon to do what I have already seen she will do~She will travel the world many times over.

She was born in Goa, India. Her father, Alon, is Moroccan Israeli and her mother's name is Pamela, she is American. 

Na'ama is a citizenship of Israel and the US.

I'm thankful she trusts me and we can create anything we set out to create.

 I love keeping it simple.

 I love keeping it simple.

 A classic accessory for a woman is nothing~

I love transformations in a session! It’s such an integral part of what I do.

Simple = simply gorgeous.

The lines on her feet. Some of my favorite lines on a woman.

 I’ve been loving this lighting set-up lately! It’s gorgeous and super easy to do.

I wanted to create moody, flattering, dramatic and I think we accomplished that.

Lucca has the most infectious enthusiasm. About whatever she happens to be doing at the moment. She’s good energy all the time. 

Thank You Lucca for allowing me to take your portrait. Many Blessings to you!
