New Beginnings

New Beginnings Require a Little Risk, Some Guts and a Whole Lot of Work!

By: Sam Hall + Save to a List

“Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”

  • Francis of Assisi

You might be able to dream of new beginnings and a new direction for your life. However it never will grow into being unless you take those steps. I’ve begun to take those steps and I’m working towards a new beginning. Partially it’s really a new life in the world of freelance media. I’m stepping out as an Adventure & Branded Content Creative in the Photo & Video Realm.

I’m stepping out on a limb and off into the unknown. I don’t really know how I’ll get to this dream, but I’ve found so far in life that the dream looks very different when we arrive at it. Often we don’t see that our dream has been accomplished until we are standing on it & looking back. It’s the review of all of our accomplishments that point us to the reality that our dream is very different than what we imagined!

Sometimes the dream is better and sometimes it lets us down. But every time I learn through the process. I’d rather shoot for the stars and only make it to the clouds, than not try at all. Try, and at first if you don’t succeed, try try again. That’s an old adage to live by as adults.

I started my journey after college working in Hollywood. And now I’m feeling this tug to try something a bit new and different -- Adventure Photo and Video work. This page is part of that new beginning. I’m dreaming it and hope to see it very soon!
I’m going to shoot for the possible and dream of the impossible one day being my reality:

Seems impossible to make it to the top, but it takes one step at a time to get there.
