The Beginning

Hey guys and welcome to my Blog. I'm pretty new at this kinda thing, so bear with me. Sooooo, I decided to start a blog, because, I've heard about them and read them for a while and, well, I think the idea of blogs are neat. They are kind of like a digital diary for the world to read. I don't keep a journal or a diary of my own, I never have. Instead, I have always enjoyed taking pictures of places that I have been to, rather than writing about them and I was never one to write out my thoughts or feelings on a day to day basis. My goal here in this blog is to try and remedy that, and to attempt to show the world what life is like through the eyes of a grad student/wildland firefighter with a passion for travel and photography.

I'm a very (read: very) amateur photographer, and I love taking pictures. Most of my photos are from my travels, and some of them are from my job as a firefighter. one of the things I intend to do in this blog to tell the story behind some of, what I consider to be, my better photographs. All too often I find myself looking at a photograph and wondering what the back story was. A lot of people now-a-days post pictures to their facebook or flickr accounts, but those sites don't really allow for you to find out much about the picture other than the location it was taken. I like to hear about the trials and tribulations the photog might have gone through to squeeze off that cool looking shot, or what is is like in that part of the world and maybe you do to! I will be posting some of my more memorable pictures throughout this blog with all the behind the scenes info. Other than that this blog will be about anything and everything I find interesting about life, and my journey through it.
