'When My Heart Beats Hardest'

Major thanks to TheAtlantic.com for sharing this video this morning. It comes from photographer Mickey Smith, a meditation on his life and work as a surf photographer. It's also about passion and living yours out.

Highlights:

 "If I am to scrape a livin', at least it's a livin' worth scraping." 

"If there is no future in it, at least this is a present worth remembering." 

"For the fires of happiness, for the waves of gratitude, for everything that brought us to that point on earth, that moment in time, to do something worth remembering, whether a photograph, or a scar. 

"We're genuinely lucky to hand-on-heart say, 'I love doing what I do.'"
