Photo series

For a photography class, these are a few of the hundreds that i liked the most.

**if you click on the image: it. gets. bigger.. (crazy huh?)

Lazy me

I kept telling myself to get these rolls of film developed so i could blog about xmas and ski camp w/ pictures etc.. got them developed about a month later.. that was a week ago, and now I'm writing about it but most likely won't write much.

Ski Camp was rather enjoyable, looking through a lot of these pictures made me miss the snow that was there when we arrived along with the 8 or so inches that fell as we skied there. The cabins were toasty, I definitely wouldn't mind a home like this; in the middle of nowhere.

 Elijah is my bear. and i just liked this picture.

 Masabi ski race wasn't quite a success, but its always an enjoyable trip to take with my friends. A long ride on the bus, me and josh get our own hotel room (away from commotion aka 7th graders screaming).

Christmas was good; my little sister ellie laughs a lot and there was some mad pony going on with a few of the cousins, my legs were so sore the next day.

I Started a photography class this semester: This is a teaser of what might be yet to come.. (if anything turns out) This photo was taken with a Digital SLR camera, but all the previous photos posted were taken with my manual film slr camera (70's).. peace

college

I can not wait for college, in someways more than others... more like the only thing I'm looking forward to is the independence. 

Over the weekend i went to madison, wisconsin and stayed with my friend Allie. Friday i went to the cities and took a megabus for 5 hours to UW Madison. There was a lot of stuff to do there, it was a big campus; at one of their student unions they play a movie in a theatre every night at midnight so we went and saw The Hebrew Hammer.. horrible, but worth it.

Saturday night was the Bon Iver concert in town, it was ridiculously good, like there is no way i could describe the energy during the whole thing, probably the best concert I've ever been to. 

Anyways, yup.. most likely one of the funnnest weekends ive had in a while, came home sunday and rode my Jamis on some gravel roads; almost got eaten alive by two vicious dogs, they were chasing me and i obviously wasnt going to out pedal em so i mustered up a big yell and scared the crap out of both of them (i was surprised it worked).. 

no school today

Congress Moves to Push Bikes Off National Park Roads is an article from Adventure Journal.. 


Was at sam's house all night working on the long-bow he and mike are making, i am the string guy i guess; i was serving string (i guess thats what its called) for hours, although it may seem very monotonous it actually wasn't to bad..
Rode mountain bike today, i got cold riding there into the wind, but i miss riding and i really took in this ride:) fat bike tire tracks on the north loop.. now, ski captains practice (guessing no one will show up) and then work.

legs

My legs hurt, a lot.. our Nordic ski teams assistant coach, bob, has us doing crazy core everyday.. its a deck of cards worth of pushups, sit-ups, dips and jumps.. each suit is a different excersise, so a 9 of clubs would be 9 sit-ups etc.. if my calculations are correct, we do 99 of each thing... thats 396 total.. its brutal, but i like it. 


anyways, i say this today.. holy shit, ii hope this girl is okay

yaaaayyyyyyyyy sskkkkkiiiiiiiinnnggg!

i think i yelled "Yay skiing!" like 50+ times today.. i love snow, i love skiing.. conditions wernt prime, but there was just enough snow to make skiing possible. it was pretty awesome watching everyone on the team just skiing around (or trying to ski).. Bob, the assistant coach from sju, skied with josh and i; we skied for a solid hour or so, pretty hard. if consistent training becomes regular and bob drives us to train then this might be a pretty good season, maybe i won't keep state out of the picture after all.. plus, after practice me and bob drove to the fire-hall and did a good 40 min of core (thats another thing that will help, he has us do crazy core everyday).. i am sore. then bob left and i ate squash with my dad and watched the history channel :) today was a good day. i love skiing.
