Be light, let go
Day 7: Be light, let go and let yourself be taken by the sea. I’m @amber_hockeborne – posting for #burndiary.

The neighborhood beat
Day 6: A San Francisco heat wave is an occasion where we take to the sand and streets. The warm air present, I hit the ground (and the sand) running. All day people have been gathering. Whether it’s playing music, swimming, surfing, walking, or running into familiar faces at the local coffee shop, sunny days …
Double retro
Retro. Double retro. I always try to show the pictures to my subjects that I’ve taken. It took me 14 years to get back to remote San Juan Atitan in the Guatemala highlands to show this man his picture( left) that had appeared in NatGeoMagazine for a story on the Maya culture. He told me …
Matjaz Krivic – Tribe
Matjaz Krivic Tribe As far as new age social utopias go, it’s doesn’t get any more spectacular than the Rainbow Gathering. With members in the tens of thousands and a long spanning tradition in every imaginable alternative lifestyle, the Rainbow tribe certainly knows how to put together a happening.

Friday

Day 5
Day 5: A sunrise in the ocean lifts my adrenaline-lost haze. I can’t imagine being far away from my mornings spent here. This honest, filled with strength, ocean heartbeat.

I have a constant flow of friends who are students and students who are friends or friends of friends. It’s not unusual they shoot here as well stealing images of …
Retro
Retro. From an essay on Paris teenagers. I spent several weeks with one group of about 8 Paris high school students for a special edition on France for NatGeoMagazine. I became a part of their lives and they in mine , just as I do on most projects my whole photo life. If you are …
We jumped out of a plane
Day 4: We jumped out of a plane today. Some memories dissolving the higher we rose. There is freedom in a decision. I closed my eyes to think, remembering that the important times are before and after we leap. I wasn’t scared – for me living on the edge brings depth. This is @amber_hockeborne
Friends
Day: 4 A coffee fueled morning spent with a woman after my own heart. A gifted friend who knows when to listen, when to laugh at herself and be free. A true muse – sister of my soul. A needed morning of grounding before I take to the air.. My friends are my inspiration. I’m …
