Inspired by #TheFinestHours, in theaters this Friday.

Disney asked me to talk about my "finest hour" to help roll out their new movie "The Finest Hours" so I decided to tell the story of how my photography career started:

I really wanted the music thing to work out for me. I played in a few bands and spent loads of time in studios and on tours. Music was what I wanted to do with my life. It was what I worked hard at, but I honestly just wasn't good enough.

I found myself taking iPhone photos with @jaredwhitney @brandenharvey and @gilganizer and enjoying it so much.

Through friendships with great photographers and what seems like being in the right place at the right time, I became a suggested user on Instagram.

Here I was with a huge audience on social media with absolutely no photography knowledge or skill whatsoever!

So I asked for help.

I literally asked @benjhaisch what the hell an aperture was.

I asked @cubbygrahm how to edit photos (I actually asked him... 'So how do you edit a photo?) I asked @jaredwhitney to stand on a ladder and act like he was floating for a photo (sooooooo artsy)

I asked @joelparker for advise: over and over (and still do)

I asked @brandenharvey how make people feel awesome while working with them.

I asked @scottborrero advise when I got my first job.

I asked @thewuss how to do taxes (and how to surf)

I asked @ioegreer to collab with me, and now we are best friends.

I asked @jimiyounger not laugh at all my dumb ideas and we are also best friends.

I asked @terrywoodman and @shelleywoodman for help seems like everyday of my life.

I asked @annamaewoodman to marry me, to give me grace, and to love me. And she does...every hour of every day.

So when thinking of my 'finest hour' I couldn't help but think about the people who have made me who I am.

If it wasn't for their finest hours I wouldn't be the person I am today.

This just lists 12 people and believe me, there are hundreds.

It is impossible to do life alone.
