Field Notes

Stories, observations, and lessons.

Things I’m learning, noticing, questioning, and figuring out along the way.

Carlos Samaniego’s Field Notes notebook beside a cup of coffee.

I’ve always carried a notebook. Sometimes it’s for work. Sometimes it’s an idea I don’t want to lose. Sometimes it’s something I noticed sitting by a creek, drinking coffee, traveling, reading, or just thinking about life.

These are my field notes.

Some will be about business, taxes, and building something that lasts. Others will be about family, books, travel, creativity, resilience, and the things I’m still trying to understand.

They’re not meant to be polished essays. They’re observations from the field.
