The Pleasuring Grounds – Vlogume 14 – The End
from Kevin Dowling on 10 Oct 2023

I am still unpacking all of the feelings and thoughts that this trip gave me. The land called me and I answered. I will use the time I have left in this meat puppet to better understand the parks, their history, their future and what they mean to humanity as I continue to grow as an individual.

The Pleasuring Grounds – Vlogume 13 – Big Big, Big Trucks and Big Police Presence
from Kevin Dowling on 9 Oct 2023

I did not have a great experience in Texas. The oppressive reality of border patrol and local PD made it feel like it was one bad day away from becoming a Police State. It felt like I had left American. Big Bend on the other hand is fucking incredible. It felt like a herd of dinosaurs was gonna be around the corner as I traveled one of the most breathtaking roads I have ever traveled (River Rd). I honestly do not know if I will ever go back to Texas after this trip but if I did it would be to take a deep dive into the west Texas oil extraction community. Rugged humans living in a rugged landscape doing rugged work. Very interesting.

The Pleasuring Grounds – Vlogume 12 – Out with the Old
from Kevin Dowling on 6 Oct 2023

It was on this hike, within this light, while connected to this moment, that my life changed forever. I realized my destiny is to live within, photograph and protect these incredible landscapes. I have not been able to shake the feeling that I must move into this region.Something deep within me felt a connection to the earth that I have never experienced. I was so very present. Looking within myself through the environment and finding my purpose. This was not the end of my actual journey but it was the end of the life I lived prior to this trip. I am forever changed for the better thanks to the parks. I feel joy. I feel connection. I feel purpose. I feel humble. I feel grateful. I feel like sharing. I feel love. I feel human.Thank you for watching. I can not wait to share the photographs that I made on this journey with you. They will never be able to come close to communicating the feeling that you get in these spaces but I put every ounce of my heart into trying my best to honor them.
