Smiles in the sun

The day after my birthday, a bunch of us went up to Alpental to go snowshoeing. I had never been before, but it was perfectly blue skies and awesome snow. I got this photo and felt like it was from an REI catalog.

No Meat

This is oddly enough not related to my vegetarianism, but just happens to be Erika's non-meat cutting board. This, among many others, is one of the photos that I'm enjoying with my new DSLR. It is a strange situation to take skills that I had developed (film joke) with my manual/film cameras and use those in the way that I use my digital. I am thankful for all the things I learned and am really having fun with the camera and the digital darkroom. I'm sure there is lots of photos to come because of this new partnership.

On a completely different note, I saw Ira Glass of This American Life today heading into someone's house near Greenlake. I was sooooo excited. I am acutely aware and repidly reminded of how nerdy this type of star sighting is, but don't care. That program was one of my main connections with the US during my time in Peru (along with Wait Wait Don't Tell Me). So, Ira, though you will never read this blog, thank you!

One of the other YAVs pointed out that it has been one year since Mancora. Crazy how times flies.
