ive been busy since i moved to missouri.. im only shooting c-41. i like it better. im working on a photo album.. im almost finished with it..

here are some shots from grannys neighborhood:





more tomorrow or sometime soon

duuuuhhhhhhhh

internet wasnt working at moms for a while and then i got lazy but heres the last couple days of my trip. i drove for 10 hours on highway 80 monday.. i saw some ok stuff but i mostly just wanted to be home. uhh if i could walk i would have stopped at a million places and scoped out cool stuff and skated.. and i probably still wouldnt be home. first some outta-the-window randoms:




its really windy and there are a lot of tumbleweeds in nebraska.. i focused a couple with my car and they got stuck to the front.. and then i took pictures of them :D



i passed this big windmill farm on the way too.. ive always thought these things were really cool.


then i saw a big plateau thing with some crosses on it and i thought that was cool.


THERE WILL BE BLOOD


i tied a cherry stem in a knot wif my tongue!! :P i probably should have been concentrating on driving id be bummed if i died because of a cherry.. or taking a picture of it..


HOME SWEET HOME <3

WASHINGTON -> MISSOURI day 2

this hotel is way nicer. im gonna cgo chill in the hot tub after i finish blawgginggg. im in rawlins, wyoming. i think tomorrow im gonna try to make it all the way home.. 16 hours D:

today i went through jackson, wy.. which was ok. i tried to call my friend who lives there but i couldnt find her #.. but im sure you care about that. i drove through the palisades.. they were kinda pretty. there was this dam but the river was frozen so it wasnt moving and there were some big mountains and stuff. heres a picture:


then i had to drive through this one road thing that was kind of a highway.. but it was 2 lanes and there was nothing on it for like 250 miles.. i almost fell asleep so i pulled over at this oregon trail memorial thing and took a nap. it was pretty there too. see?



thats about all.. the drive was more boring today.. and im sure it will be worse tomorrow. heres a few out-the-window shots:



i passed a few of these things.. i dunno what they are but theyre cool looking:

streets is callin

sup kids. im posted up in dillon, montana. i accidentally went 50 miles out of my way.. i dunno if im gonna go back and get on track or just try to get home from here. whatever. when i checked into the hotel the lady said i looked like i didnt have much money so she gave me a discount. she must not know what money is.

but heres what you want to see right?

$$$ CHA-CHING $$$


not as good as gold creek but a good place to stop for glow-in-the-dark stuff


i wont be taking this exit

a couple of these




this was the best part of my trip so far. "pink moon" by nick drake was playing on my stereo and i looked over at this mountain and this little guy popped out. i had to wait a little while to take it.. but for soem reason it looks weird.. it was in focus and everything but it turned out like this.. hopefully the film version turns out better.


see ya tomorrow

outty5

so on march 21st im putting everything i own in my car and driving to the tetons, denver, kansas city, and eventually home. i hope i dont get robbed and my crappy car makes it. im gonna spend some time at home and then im getting a plane to slovakia to see zuz and her fam. i dont know how long im gonna be in europe yet.. but maybe the whole summer or something. i need to learn more slovak :D. im gonna document my entire adventure and stuff so the blogs gonna be updated a lot and stuff.

if anyone wants to buy a decent sized tv (like 24" i think) for $30 let me know. it works perf and everything.

im also giving away lots of clothes so hit me up. its all small stuff so no fatties :P

feeling loved.. and trying to love others.
excited about traveling this summer.. i might plan a trip around the u.s. or just go to europe. ive been trying to do sth like this for a while but sorta depending on other people.. but now its just me.. but im not bummed.
i should get some cash flow this week. $$$
