From a Hike

Hiked up Mount Galehead, one of about 48 four-thousand footers in New Hampshire, with a group of friends. Going up had its challenges, but coming down I felt great and was running at points just because it felt good. When I stopped, my legs would start shaking...so I tried not to stop.

This was shot near the Galehead Hut about 4 miles up the mountain, near the summit. Crazy to imagine people lugging up supplies. Crazy awesome! In the photo world, people suggest to come up with a "plan b" if all else fails. That's my 'plan b.' Or something like that. Sell my car. Grow a beard. Hike barefoot. Become a hermit who only leaves the woods once a month to update a videocast about being a hermit. Ok, I'm romanticizing it a bit. In another life maybe.

Check one off the list of 4000 footers. I could get them all done next summer if I average 1 every 3 days.

Backyard Nights

A few months ago, while I was a staffer working at the Midland Daily News, I began wandering the streets of Midland at night to interrupt nights of boredom or monotony. It turned into sort of a column and online blog at the paper and I went out with no real planning, no real focus other than to see what I could see at night.

Whatever you want to call it, an essay, a visual journal, whatever, I thought I would just leave it as something I did in Midland. But today, while working on my website and looking at those photos, something drew me back to that idea about a community at night. I see it as a personal project to explore things and push myself to see in a less literal way from how I have been approaching much of the daily assignments.

Today I had the day off, but with the primary results filtering in tonight, I decided to slip over and hang out at Kelly Ayotte's and Charlie Bass' watch parties down the road from my apartment. The two stayed in their no-access hotel rooms all night as supporters came and went. They finally spoke, briefly, somewhere around 11:40 p.m.
