Hiatus…

…brings a resurrection. Taking a break from Instagram but still have photos to share, so here I am. And so are you. I’m glad. It seems like a good time to check-in with this site and spend some energy on old creative interests. I forget during the rigors of the academic year how much IContinue reading “Hiatus…”

STGO-CL

Over the winter break from school I spent close to 12 glorious days in Santiago, Chile with my Mother and Aunt Regina. It was a remarkable trip, with our time spent exploring the city, multiple trips to the Baha’i House of Worship and a day trip to Viña del Mar and Valparaíso. The weather wasContinue reading “STGO-CL”

Off Season

A few weeks ago the winter restlessness settled in again and I took off for a short trip to Devil’s Lake. There was a winter storm brewing which didn’t make for very good light for photos of the lake and cliffs so I focused on some of the other things that were around. The lastContinue reading “Off Season”

Restless

After almost two weeks off work for the holidays, I was feeling pretty restless. While the time off was nice, without a routine to keep me out of the house for 8+ hours of the day, I go a little stir crazy. On January 2nd, I took a little road trip to Spring Green forContinue reading “Restless”

Christmas Wandering

As is my tradition, I got up and out before dawn on Christmas morning and headed down to the trainyard. Not too much going on in the world but it was nice to get out and walk.

Halfway Prairie

Today I got to do something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time. Often when I’ve been on drives with other people, I’ve seen interesting things that I would like to stop and explore. But because I wasn’t the driver and we were on a different schedule, I would have to just letContinue reading “Halfway Prairie”

Touch

(Originally posted on July 14th, 2014) When I was looking through photos to put in the Classic TWE section of this site, I came upon a photo called “Touch”. Many a nights I took countless self-portraits in my bathroom and this particular piece has always been one of my absolute favorites. Tonight I decided toContinue reading “Touch”

Independence Day 2014

For the last couple of years around the 4th of July I have taken a bicycle ride out to the area where I grew up. It’s a nice ride out to Eagle Heights through Shorewood Hills and University Houses. I stop off at a couple of places and walk around the woods. I also parkContinue reading “Independence Day 2014”

Trail Running

(Originally posted July 9th, 2014) When I hike at Picnic Point once a year, one of my favorite things has been running on the trails, up the hills and over all the nooks and crannies. I’ve been wanting to take up running but the treadmill isn’t good for you (not to mention boring!) and runningContinue reading “Trail Running”

Frolic

(Originally posted November 14th, 2014) It’s November 16th, but it definitely felt and looked like December 16th today. After the teaser snow we got on Halloween and after some flurries last week, we finally got some real snow. Not much, maybe just under an inch, but enough to make everything look all white and pretty.Continue reading “Frolic”
