I hate third person bios. It's not like someone else is writing it. I'm writing it. I like making photos of things that everyone is able to see, but probably won't make the time in their life to do so. The world is a living creature (without getting my... view more

    closing up

    So, the trip is coming to a close. Flying to NYC on Tuesday to do a job before flying back out here to Alaska to get set up in Fairbanks for what's going to be something of a long winter.

    I'm as excited as you are to see the film from the trip. Money got tight, scanner got broke and time got short. I'll be getting the film done and scanned in while in New York, so it should be a few weeks before I can get the editing down and retouch the prints for the rewards, but they'll be out by the end of the year!

    Thanks again for the support and we'll see what happens in the next coming months!

    Progress

    Still making progress on the trip. I hope you've been enjoying the postcards -- those of you who get to receive them -- sorry they notes aren't that inspiring, haha, writing around 50 postcards at a time. For the rest of you, I hope you're following the blog and my progress over there, I wish there was a way to get you more pictures instead of just ones from my BlackBerry, but that's all I can do at the moment. Gas money and food is more important than picking up a new scanner, besides, if I had another scanner, I'd probably spend all my time indoors scanning instead of outdoors living my life, so that wouldn't be too fun for me.

    I've left!

    Out on the road full time now for three months. Homeless and exploring. A rubbertramp to quote a book I've read once and been asked if I've read about 4 million times in the last 4 months.

    Posts to the blog are coming, I'm keeping notes but it's hard to write essay's while driving!

    Expect postcards very soon!

        For now my friend, you are not homeless. The road is your home. The big ol' United States of America is your living room, and Stuckey's is your kitchen. Soak it up, and don't skimp on the GRAVY!
