ABOUT LJAC

Where storytelling meets self-discovery. This site is a collection of my work across photography, writing, film, and endurance sports—a living document shaped by the challenges I embrace and the stories I uncover.

I believe that by understanding ourselves more deeply, we find connection with others. This is my journey to capture the beauty of growth, the lessons found in adversity, and the shared threads that tie us all together.

Life at different speeds. It isn’t often I can see a canopy with a massive granite slab towering over it. Where people are climbing the walls more than the trees. Yosemite. #ljac #yosemitenps #yosemitenationalpark #yosemitevalley #bnwzone #nat
