bryan upton's photostream

i'm bryan.

i love God and try hard to emulate the life that Jesus lived here on Earth. i'd like to meet and have a conversation with you. i think we'd have a good time.

i'm a son, an older brother, a friend, a lover, a revolutionary, a little bit extroverted, a little bit introverted, consistently busy, not a perfectionist, a learner, a music connoisseur, a photographer, a web designer, a painter, an artist, a writer, a poet, a preacher, a creative thinker, a teacher, a musician, a former baseball player, a recovered broken leg patient, an encourager, a dreamer, a little bit messy, a son of a King, a royal and holy priest [1peter2:9], a life saver, a rescuer, a romantic, an occasional coffee shop visitor, a broken person, a sinner, redeemed, full of questions, unconventional, trying hard to love more, counter-cultural, effective, a helper, a child of the living a breathing God who created you and me, constantly amazed, a proud toyota owner, both a mac and a pc person, a future author, trying hard to walk daily in the light, and constantly making God smile.

i am loved and you are too.

i enjoy several things, some of which include photography, music, toyota trucks, driving with all the windows down, the mountains at night, walking without crutches, meeting peoples' needs in tangible ways, truly loving people, cool ties, the conan o'brien and jimmy kimmel shows, love, iced chai tea lattes from starbuck's, creativity, writing about life and the experiences it brings to me, thrift stores, laughing, birthdays, life, anticipation, living in the moment, switching things up periodically, sleeping, and sunglasses.
not all in that order though. that would be crazy.

i kind of stumbled into this photography thing. i took a photo class during the summer once with a girlfriend. she really wanted us to take a class together and she was really interested in photography. i took it so i could spend more time with her. i ended up liking the class more than she did and have since pursued photography harder.

it's crazy how things work out sometimes.
