Midwestern Road Trip
Road tripping with my parents through four states and two countries.
This August, I went on a road trip with my parents. I haven't seen much of them since I moved to Boston so this adventure was some much needed family bonding time. Here is some cataloguing of our adventures:
TROY, MO
My younger brother has been living in Missouri the past few months and I hadn't seen him in a year, so it was nice to get to spend some time with him and his adorable girlfriend.
CHICAGO, IL
Sci-fi themed coffee shop in Chicago
CEDAR SPRINGS, MI
Maternal genealogy in my great aunt and uncle’s house
BOYNE CITY, MI
This little town in northern Michigan is where my mom’s family comes from. We aren’t able to visit often but I’ve always found this lake to be so peaceful.
I found a treasure trove of old photos in my great aunt’s collection and knew I needed to save them.
TORONTO, CANADA
NIAGARA FALLS, CANADA
And a bonus collection of iphone pictures.
June | A Month in Review
My poor blog has gone terribly neglected in the wake of an incredibly busy month so here's where I get to play catch-up.
My poor blog has gone terribly neglected in the wake of an incredibly busy month so here's where I get to play catch-up. I've also begun something of a photo-a-day project on my instagram now that I have a functional phone so I'm going to include a few of those as well.
I:
At the end of May, I worked Boston Calling - a music festival filled with bands I love. I more or less got paid to see Brand New and needless to say, I was very happy.
II:
I went to my first east coast beach! We ventured out to Ipswich with a slight detour through Salem on the way back. Word to the wise, the Salem Witch Dungeon was the best/worst idea we could have had.
III:
General adventuring around Massachusetts.
IV:
I went to New York on Monday to see my awesome friend from California, Tomm. I haven't seen him since New Years-ish so I decided to take the bus down despite working both the morning before I left and the afternoon I came back.
The morning started off with a crazy fitness shoot behind the wall at BKB, which I will get to in the next post. But all in all, it was a great way to spend 24 hours.
Four weeks, four sets of pictures. We'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming from here on out. If you want to follow my iphone photo project, you can do so on my instagram.
A Weekend in New York City
I spent this last weekend in New York, somewhere I haven't had particularly positive interactions in the past. This time, I was determined to change my opinion on the place. My three day adventure began in Brooklyn.

As some of you know I work for the Massachusetts branch of this rad company, Brooklyn Boulders. I've been the in-house photographer for the last eight months and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that working for this company is never - and will never be - boring. I took a pilgrimage to our home base to climb and snap some pictures for our database back home.
The next two days were spent wandering the city and while I still can't say I'm fond of New York, I met some great people and had some good times.
