So I took a few weeks off from posting, not to say I post everyday or anything - but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been shooting in the meantime. These days my motivation seems to be lacking due to complications in life at the moment, which is a phase that I realize will pass, hopefully sooner than later: shit happens to everyone at some point right. But you know what’s funny, I started this blog to keep a journal of my life in a sense, but it seems to be just strictly photography dumps… and nothing else…But you know what else is funny, I don’t consider myself a photographer.. I actually find it difficult to put a label on myself to what I do at all, I don’t even know what I do really… maybe I’m just bashful about it, maybe its the fact I hate it when people claim what they do really hard I kind of find corny, I prefer the more passive approach. I want to start mixing it up a bit though, I find my site to be kind of stagnant in that sense, at least in my eyes at the moment… I have got some good feedback and a few requests to do more Mixtapes, so I want to get working on the second one for sure, which I believe I could throw together quite quick, I really enjoyed doing the last one, so be on the look out for the next! Since my last post I have been in Maine, NYC, and Seattle, but it seems like I only shot while I was in New York… So here is another photo dump. haha - contradiction! I don’t want to say this is the last one by any means, but maybe I just want to be more selective or something I don’t really know… but I definitely want to move this blog in new directions, what those directions may be I have no clue..just a change, I think I could use a little of that.

I have been away from what Id like to refer to as home now for just about a month, although it doesn’t really feel like I have an actual place to call home but a temporary place to hold my things, as strange as that sounds… and to be quite honest with you, its definitely taking its toll on me now…. If you have been repeating visitors on this blog you might not have one clue as to how and why I travel and do the things I do - like opt and just pack up and leave for months on end with no plan, and to tell you the truth I don’t either. I initially started this blog to document my life experiences to have something to look back on, and it seems like i’ve just been on this wild ride for the past 7 or so months after quitting a full time job and taking the step of supporting myself by myself perusing what makes me happy and trying to avoid the dead end alternative route of a job I hate. Maybe I’m just waiting to be in that right place at the right time, for what I don’t know… happiness I guess. maybe I’m just waiting on a miracle to happen…I don’t know. I know a lot of people who travel more than I do for sure, but for the people I know, it seems they have a nice place to call home and probably a lot securer income than me so it seems a bit more feasible. I am also aware that there are other people who have it far worse than me than I know it sounds kind of ridicules for me to even complain about this because I put it all on myself but I don’t think I’m necessarily complaining but just stating what’s been on my mind lately.. life definitely has had its ups and downs for sure… and mine definitely seems to be in the slums right now. I know I live in a very small town and have higher hopes than maybe your average joe that lives there, maybe not higher hopes, but the means to actually try and get out to do other things and seek out my potential rather than falling in the mundane small town lifestyle gets the best people… I guess that could be the reason why I travel. I don’t know, I know I’m very afraid of commitments and to tell you the truth I don’t know if its working for or against me. I don’t even know why I’m typing this, maybe its because it seems like I have a lot on my shoulders right now and this just seems like a good place to vent. I don’t have a plan set out for myself, perhaps thats the problem, I only seem to plan the next month that lies ahead at most.. plus the fact that I am broke and feel like I need to just be home, but don’t have a home… either way these past couple of weeks haven’t been the best for me for plenty of reasons, which I don’t feel like getting in to all the small details on but this is my blog and I’m going to state what is on my mind occasionally, sometimes good thoughts sometimes bad… This isn’t written with intent to have people feel sorry for me by any means, but just a means for me to get shit off my chest, I recently heard its healthy to state what’s on your mind in writing, I guess this is not a new philosophy but its new to me so I might be doing it a bit more, cause I definitely hold a lot of things in…. thanks.

Well we finally left miami! It was such a good trip, I want to get down there again so bad!! After being there for a little over three weeks and getting used to the climate I think I hate cold weather now forever, which isn’t convenient for me seeing how I live in the cold dark NW. and IM in an even colder spot at the moment the NE! we drove up the past three days from 80 degree heat to freezing temps in NYC. we stopped in Georgia and camped for a night then made it all the way to D.C. the next day then NY… It went by fairly quick actually so it wasnt so bad of a drive. here are some of the photos from the last few days in Miami!
