Early Morning
I went out with my friend Ryan for an early morning hike (as in before the sunrise) and to grab some pics. It was cold. I got a new camera for Christmas, the Nikon D5000. Its a sweet camera! Anyone looking for a new DSLR and doesn’t have a huge budget, [...]
Two Reasons Its Good To Be Home
There are many reasons why I’m happy to be home. But here are two specific ones: babies and fall.

Sagarmatha
Hello all. I returned from Pokhara yesterday. Beautiful part of the country. Absolutely beautiful. I have plenty of stories and plenty of pictures, but they will have to wait a few weeks. I’m heading out again tomorrow for Sagarmatha. It will take a couple weeks to get there and [...]
