Friday Photo: Downpour
A humid night in New Orleans, the air thick and sluggish, practically begging to crack open. And it does, sending me to stand under a dripping awning, watching the cars fly by, spraying water every which way. I wait for the tropical deluge to pass, clothes soaking, hair stuck to my face, watching the water level rise in the street. The hard asphalt softens and the rain continues.
Friday Photo: Swedish Autumn
This time of year equals serious Sweden cravings. Fresh, brisk air, cool afternoon walks, morning fika with warm coffee and baked goods, a pair of rainboots by the door, a weekend to pick chantrelles out in the country… the list goes on. So to kill (or feed, I can’t decide which) my homesickness, today’s Friday Photo gets a whole album. Njut!
Friday Photo: Blue Lake
Spent three days of unconnected bliss out in Indian Heaven Wilderness last weekend, camping by the aptly named Blue Lake. There’s a reason that Henry David Thoreau said, “In wilderness is the preservation of the world.” In the backcountry things are still and simple. Just what the overly multi-tasked brain needs.
Friday Photo: Dirty Shell
Still trying to decompress after returning home from the Gulf…
Last Saturday I found myself on Ship Island, one of the barrier islands of Mississippi that makes up Gulf Islands National Seashore. Beautiful white beaches lined by bright green grass and topped off with bright blue sky. And covered in tar balls and dirty shells. This is the new reality, and as I move forward and work on processing everything that the last ten days entailed, this image is going to be forever etched in my mind.
Friday Photo: Yellowstone Forms
I think the natural shapes found at Yellowstone were simply astonishing; another example of design in nature.
Friday Photo: Two Weeks in Three Shots
Seven states, six national parks, and one film festival, all in one road trip. From this…
Friday Photo: I Heart Redrock
One week ago, this is where I spent the night. Canyonlands National Park is one of the most striking places on earth, with shocking reds and oranges paired with piercing blue skies. A 60-foot canyon rappel, an epic day of scrambling and bushwacking and gorgeous scenery, all while being 100% unplugged, are all ingredients to an excellent trip. Go get outside!
Foodie Photo Addiction
This week over on the Foodie Underground column I had the delight of writing about one of my favorite subjects: food porn. Sure, that may sound a little harsh, but if you’re addicted to beautiful pictures of good food, you know exactly what I’m talking about.You find yourself with a camera often closer to your plate than your fork, you know exactly what shutter speed to use in a dimly lit restaurant and shopping at farmers market takes twice as long as the average person because you’re forced to do a round to zoom in on all the fresh carrots and bell peppers.
