Today We Climbed a Mountain

I won’t torture you with my poor attempts to describe nature and the transcendent experience of climbing through the intimate spaces of rhododendron and old growth elm trees, but will instead share some photos.… Read the Rest…

Horizon Interactive Awards: Gold Winner!

The 2013 Annual Fund Thank You video for Duke University won a Horizon Interactive Award! This was a really exciting project to work on. I live very close to Duke’s campus and creating a map through the famous architecture and grounds was a lot of fun.… Read the Rest…

Bluegrass Music Festival

This past Saturday I went to the Wide Open Bluegrass Street Fest in Raleigh with a friend. I really like folk music, especially Irish and Welsh folk music—which is where Bluegrass originated. I was expecting an open field with a hand full of stages set up about the periphery and… Read the Rest…

On Holiday

We’ve spent a week in Gulf Shores, AL on Perdido Bay and it’s been pretty amazing. We have watched dolphins teaching their calves to hunt, went kayaking to Wolf Bay, watched the sunset across the Gulf of Mexico, counted lightning strikes in Pensacola, hiked through the Bon Secour National Wildlife… Read the Rest…

Fort Morgan, Alabama

I will admit to having never heard of Fort Morgan in school while growing up. In Virginia there’s a lot greater focus on Richmond and Arlington than Mobile, Alabama.

Hiking on the Eno

Since moving to the Triangle I’ve been longing for more of the random things to do like Screen on the Green and/or the plethora of museums and street fairs that DC has. I hadn’t realised until this weekend how much that had meant in terms of ignoring all of the… Read the Rest…

Never Grow Up.

The point of snow is to play around and have fun. Too often we’re all too caught up in “acting like adults” and being “respectable” or whatever-the-hell-else adults are “supposed” to be. There’s no rule book, so who cares what Debbie Downer and Johnny Killjoy think? Therefore, I submit to… Read the Rest…

Free Time

It began when I asked myself why I haven’t finished any of the myriad little projects I’ve set for myself, like making paper or cleaning off my desk. The answer that immediately popped into my head is “I’m just too busy.” And that got me thinking and asking why. Why… Read the Rest…

A Mountain Adventure

A tale told by a filmmaker, full of whines and howls. Signifying Waffles.
