2015-07-09 Everyday Carry

I've updated my Items Carried recently so I took a new photo for the occasion. Click here to check out all of the Stuff I Use.



Oh and here's a scanned version that was hastily laid out:


Visiting with The Van Man

Jon Gaffney is a good friend of mine and recently set out on an epic journey. He bought a van, gutted it, made it livable, and moved into it along with his girlfriend Gale. They're currently traveling the country and I couldn't be more envious (in a healthy way).

It just so happened that I was able to get a tour of their home about a week or two ago and I wanted to share some photos with you. These two have an outpouring of creativity and it was personally refreshing spending time together.











I highly recommend that you follow their expedition online. They're visiting some amazing places and telling an adventurous story in the process. And while it's a bit gratuitous, check out my interview of Jon and Gale near the beginning of their voyage.

CAF AirPower History Tour 2014 - KRBD

The Commemorative Air Force AirPower History Tour recently came through town and I spent the day checking out a lot of great aircraft and other WWII era displays. Here's just a few of the photos I took and you can check out more on my Flickr page. If you can, take the time to see these old warbirds in person before they're no longer around as many are the very last ones still flying. 











Back from Muster 3


I recently got back from the third annual ITS Muster. It’s nearly a week long and sleep is often a luxury so it’s taken me a little longer than usual to get back up to speed.

Since I was the “official” photographer for the week, I’m not in any of the photos but I like it that way. There is one photo I’m in that a friend of mine shot but you may not know it’s me.


I’m on the far right.

Overall it was a great event because I got to get away from the desk and computer and spend time in the field with old friends and some new ones too. I always forget how good it feels to not know what’s going on in the world because I’m so engrossed in what I’m doing physically.

We usually spend the entire time camping from our tents but the new venue this year meant bunks and cabins which was totally welcomed in my book. I love sleeping on a ground pad but a mattress and electricity makes it easier to get going in the morning.

Even though I just got back in town and I'm barely settling into my normal routine again, I'm already looking forward to the next camping trip, wherever it may be.
