It’s been a while since a post… and a busy/ long past couple of months. I have moved across the country from Seattle to Washington D.C. to pursue graduate school. Dramatic changes and much work again, but a fantastic place and a wonderful opportunity. I will dearly miss seeing family and friends, but will keep in touch and plan to relentlessly stay active on my Flickr. Stay tuned, more to follow. =]

Southern Utah is a strange and beautiful place. Mike and I took a trip down at the end of May (21-28) to the Moab-Arches-Canyonlands area; it was simply fantastic! We hiked, biked, rafted, burned [me, more than him], ate, watched a marathon of Big Bang Theory, enjoyed our luxurious FX35, in general had an amazing time, and of course took [countless] photos along the way. I couldn’t have asked for a cooler travel buddy. There is a plethora of photos on my Flickr (link here), but here are a few teasers.

If you ever have the opportunity, it certainly is worth the visit and is an exceptionally unique area of the country. P.s. rent the high end bikes — they’re worth it!

What a perfect weekend. Erin and I took a day trip to Paradise at Mount Rainier and the weather couldn’t have been better. It was absolutely clear up on top, albeit cold and snowy. The snowshoeing and scenery was awesome and beautiful, respectively. A few photos below, or see more on my Flickr.

This week I aged officially. I wanted to capture that some how… a current ’state in the life of’ if you will, and this is what came out. A bit moody, dark, dilusional, but hitting themes of contemplation, forethought, and growing stronger. Also on Flickr. Thanks everyone for the emails and calls, they were greatly appreciated!
