Spring

As I was brushing my teeth this morning I decided to take a stroll over to the front of my apartment and peek out the window to do a spot-check on the weather. I was barely able to see the sun as I tried to squint through all the dirt on the windows. Might be time to clean them again.

Grass in the front "yard."


Also, I discovered my D200 has an image overlay function to create double exposures. Here's a poor example of one taken of the street lamp by my casa.

It Has a lot to do With the People You're With, The Music Being Played & The Shoes On Your Feet

Yeah, all that and more. I was digging through a couple pics of me doing a few of the things I've loved or love. Enjoy this shameless eyecandy.

I haven't snowboarded since the 04/05 season. A favorite picture of me caught at Brighton in 2001. Lame boost.


I've kept a longboard on hand in one capacity or another and really enjoy getting out on it when the weather is nice. Get low.


I picked up freeheel skiing in 2004. This was taken in June of 2008 at Snowbird. No cheats.


This is a repost of an image caught in March of 2008 in the Brighton backcountry. It was a deep day, but I've seen deeper.


The 08/09 season brought about many changes. One of them was me picking up alpine skiing again - something I learned to do when I was two years old (thanks, Dad). Just another day at Brighton - crushing it.


Maybe I'll post some more sweets later. Have a great weekend, everyone.

Soundtracks To Life

I discovered the band Collective Soul when I was about 13 years old. I was in the middle of seventh grade, didn't talk to girls and was living in Delaware at the time. The cd came from one of those "Buy 7 CDs for One Cent" promotional offers that used to come by the bundle in the mail years ago. A Collective Soul CD was one of the 7 CDs I claimed on that offer. The trick is they charge you months later, about 11 bucks or so per each CD you ordered. Well, my mom told them I moved to New Zealand and I never ended up paying a penny of the $77.00 or so they tried to nab me for. Seriously though, I was 13 years old - where was I going to come up with $77.00 to pay for those CDs? How rude of them to think that I could actually afford their silly, albeit trick, offer.

But man, that first Collective Soul CD I picked up put me on a long and winding road during which their music has weaved in and out of my life at random times and moments. Every time I hear a song by them, or put one of their CDs on (yes, I still use CDs) or listen to them on my iPod, it just makes me smile.

Six Days On...

...Time for two days off. Enjoy the moon, ya'll.
