Yesterday I met up with Max from All Plaid Out and toured LL Beans offices, archives, tote and boot factory. This coming week we will posting some great stuff. I took 800 photos. Here is a small taste.

This morning at around 9:30 AM, UPS is supposed to drop off my new Canon 5D Mark II. On Wednesday, much to my glee and surprise, my Canon 24-105mm f4.0L lens arrived ahead of schedule. Five months ago, I decided to get an a Canon XSI on a whim that I may enjoy photography. This camera opened my eyes to a new world and a passion that I never new existed.
One of the reasons I went with the 5D Mark II over a used Canon 1D or Canon 50D is the Mark II's ability to shoot 1080P video. Vincent Laforet, a Pulitzer Prize winning photographer, shot this video with a Mark II and a handful of supper nice lenses.
I hope cool things will happen with my new Camera, right now (Thursday Night), I feel like a six-year-old on Christmas Eve.
Hopefully with my with my 5D and the 24-105mm I will be able to take pictures like this, yours truly at 3 years old.

I often dream that I can fly. Not in the Superman, defying gravity and flying straight up kind of way, but in the Batman, jumping off a building and gliding way. This unceasing desire drives me to search the internet every couple months for the latest and greatest in human gliding. Sometime in I will do this.
Think of a wonderful thought...

Although not preppy in the typical, Preppy Handbook way, Spencer's clothes are understated, well made, and wearable in many situations. In these photos Spencer is wearing all white Vans Authentics, a Pendleton wool shirt (under the coat), dark Nudie Jeans and a Brooks Brothers Duffle Coat (which I really like).
This block of ice was carried hundreds of feet above the shoreline by high tide, similar to the smaller blocks of ice in the mouth of the Kennebec River.
Spencer shows that preppy does not just have to be pastel polo shirts, khaki pants, and boat shoes, but can be a mix of modern and classics.
I left my job in New York in the summer of 2011 and moved into a camper. Since then, I have driven 100,000 miles around the west, surfing and camping. During the summer of 2014, I set up a home base in the Columbia River Gorge. These are some of my stories and photos.
