Grove of Aspens trees in Utah, photo by Ryan Smith
Today I give thanks to this giant mass of rock and water that is our only home in the universe. Please remember to be kind to it.

The inspirations, joys, and challenges of running a photography business in rural America
About Us
Since starting their photography business in Austin, TX in 2006, Ryan Smith and Larissa Chace Smith have often described their vocation as "playing work." Particularly when they first started out, and had little money to their name, it truly felt like a pretend job. Now, with surer footing, they can more aptly enjoy "playing work" out of their home in rural Pennsylvania. This blog follows their adventures, projects, processes, stories, and insights as they traverse the precarious world of entrepreneurialism and photography.

5 Response to Happy Earth Day
Amen! I'm right there with you, Ryan - grateful for this beautiful and only planet of ours...
Beautiful photo!
Thanks Shalom!
Ryan,
Your two short sentences speak to two important truths: 1) Gratitude and 2) Earth is more than "the environment". She is, more specifically, "our home" and we need to be her steadfast stewards.
George, she is indeed our home. I often think of her as what Marshall McLuhan described as "spaceship earth." If you've ever enjoyed a sci-fi novel or movie this analogy makes great sense. All of us, and I mean all of Earth's inhabitants are flying through the universe together. We have to act like a crew and tend to our ship. It's the only one we have and our only chance of surviving the great unknown.
