This summer, two friends and myself all left our comfortable jobs of six years to spend two months traveling across the country and teaching photography workshops along the way. We all felt that it was time to take a risk and get out of our comfort zones… adventure was calling us. It was a trip filled with endless hours cooped up in a van, exploring breathtaking landscapes, sharing stories and laughs, meeting some of the nicest people, making new friends, getting to meet old friends from around the country, and sharing our love of photography with others.

This trip was a constant test for me, as we had such short and limited time in nearly all of the spots we visited. In most cases, I’d have to hurry…

I usually have conflicting feelings about private companies. I don’t totally agree with the food industry, oil and mining companies and clothing companies.  I think those companies can do much better in their practices keeping in mind their impact on environment and society.

I am aware that we are living in a consumerism world and I have to admit  I consume many of those big brands products. However, I am now very careful when shopping as I am aware of what is it behind those companies and how they do their products.

Clovis Points

When I find the picture of a spear point found in the skeleton of a bison on the Illinois River during low water, I’ll post it.  It was on display at Dickson Mounds Museum in central Illinois.  They have great displays of artifacts.

Didn’t Forrest mention that finding a Clovis point inside the skull of a mammoth is still on his bucket list?
