Dictionaries define the word Passion best as “a strong and barely controllable emotion.” Traced back to its roots, the latin word Passi literally means “suffer.” As time goes by I’ve come to realize that the true meaning of the word can always be found lying somewhere between these two ends of the spectrum, shaped by the highs and lows of the roller coaster ride that makes up any great pursuit. This fire burns within every one of us. An internally programmed purpose that when revealed, drives us to follow its course. Passion has a way of showing us both our highest highs, and lowest lows. Along its path we’re shown both incredible victory and crushing defeat. It keeps us awake late at night, and drives us out of bed in the morning. We suffer both as a result of the pursuit, and when kept from the pursuit. It pushes the limits of our sanity, yet we’re filled with “barely controllable” excitement by the mere thought of it at the same time.

This page was born as an attempt to define passion with photos and written word, and to inspire that unrelenting pursuit. This is what makes us tick.
