I could get used to this whole “I have to go to Chicago for work” thing.
Shot for three days with Nico and Lala.
Fell harder in love with Chicago.

Chicago on Film
Canon EOS-3 35mm + Fuji Pro 400H.
Glacier National Park
is quite gorgeous.
Grand Canyon | Rim to Rim
The second time hiking down Grand Canyon with my mom and her friends was even better than the first. We hiked down North Kaibab Trail (14 miles), spent the night at Phantom Ranch, then hiked up Bright Angel Trail (about 10 miles). Rim to Rim – done and done. All photos taken with the Fuji x100.
…and then my battery died and the iPhone saved the day.
See the full hike here.
Dominican Republic
Last month we went to the Dominican Republic for a work trip to Young Life’s Pico Escondido. We sweat a lot, laughed a lot, ate a lot, and slept a little. Here are my favorites from our fun at camp, Jarabacoa, and Puerto Plata.
These were shot with the Canon EOS-3 + Kodak Portra 400, Kodak Tri-X 400 (B&W) and Ilford 3200 (B&W) film.
50 photos, that just happened.
Oh, Mexico
If I had a nickel for every time I said “amazing” while we were in Mexico, I’d have enough money to fly us back to Mexico.
and some iPhonetographs…

Something about New England’s beauty and culture has always fascinated me, and after having the pleasure of spending a few days there in June, all I can say is that I want more.

We enjoyed the wonderful Washington wine country at the beginning of the month.
We took photos with my 35mm.

charleston on film
A few more from Charleston from my first roll on the newest member to my photo family, the Canon EOS-3 35mm. All photos shot with the Canon 35 1.4L on Fuji Superia XTRA 400 (aka cheap Wal-Mart film).
No more cheap film for this bad boy so get ready to go on fun filmventures with me.

Husbands who surprise their wives with weekend getaways are the best! We spent this past weekend in Charleston, a city we’d both wanted to visit for a while. Charleston is now on my list of favorite places in America. Austin, TX still holds the crown.
One of my favorite books, The Lords of Discipline by Pat Conroy, describes this city so wonderfully in it’s first few pages:
The city of Charleston, in the green feathery modesty of its palms, in the certitude of its style, in the economy and stringency of its lines, and the serenity of its mansions South of Broad Street, is a feast for the human eye.
Though I will always be a visitor of Charleston, I will always remain one with a passionate belief that it is the most beautiful city in America and that to walk the old section of the city at night is to step into the bloodstream of a history extravagantly lived by a people born to a fierce and unshakable advocacy of their past.
Entering Charleston is like walking through the brilliant carbon forest of a diamond with the light dazzling you in a thousand ways, an assault of light and shadow caused by light. The sun and the city have struck up an irreversible alliance.
With a boy in a bow tie by boats. I couldn’t have been happier!
