This is our story...



the scientist & the artist; storytellers and voyagers.





we traveled 26,000 miles together in our first year. hawaii, california, new orleans, new york city, idaho, and oregon by plane, ferry, train & metro.






it was my father who inspired me.





aquamarine, the water stone.




in the quiet dark I composed a fairy tale for her. what began as a tangled nest of ideas, unravelled into an epic metaphor of my journey across thousands of miles to be with her.

"a fox that dreams of a princess in a city by the sea. in his dream, she loses her precious jewel to pirate thieves, and he travels across the world to find the jewel and return it to her. the fox crosses a desert, gets a lift from a raven, then finds the pirates and stows away on their ship. the fox tricks them into escaping with the jewel by hiding in it a book, and returns to the city to find the princess. he meets her in a moonlit garden and tells her stories of his journey. the fox’s stories restore her happiness and she falls in love with him. the fox then realizes what is most valuable to her…"



I carried my secret with me... seeking the perfect moment to reveal my intentions.



so it was, a brief afternoon from Paris to Versailles, France.





And they lived happily ever after...
