Strips of light.

I left Pops' house, somewhere in northern Virginia, at 1:00AM, January 1, 2012.

I'd constructed the plan earlier that evening, not having any significant plans to attend to for the evening. It was a questionable move considering not my own sobriety, but other drivers' lack thereof.

Racing past Pea Island, I finally pulled over just outside Hatteras. After swapping Aldens for Bean Boots, I clumsily jogged toward the shore, already annoyed that a faint glow had begun to appear on the horizon. 

I hope everyone has had a great start to the new year.

Bits from North Carolina

My final days of summer in North Carolina.

Seen through my back window at a gas station. He waited patiently in the truck bed for his owner.

I like this font. Goldsboro.

Safe distance.

The start to good Carolina BBQ at Wilbur's.

I'm working on getting caught up with pictures, but lately my attention and energy has been elsewhere.

Grandfather Mountain and the Blue Ridge Parkway

Almost one month ago my mom and I climbed into my car and went towards Boone, NC. Not realizing that the App State kids were moving in, we skipped town and drove along the Blue Ridge Parkway towards Grandfather Mountain.

Along the way.

The Moses Cone Manor

Mile high pines.

They filmed part of Forrest Gump on the road to the summit.

I spend too little time with my mom, but when I do, it's short trips like this that make that time all the more memorable.

Diana (Mini)- Cooler Temperatures

Diana has been troublesome. I lost a roll shot over New Year's Eve to a mediocre film processing lab, and without the pockets afforded by winter coats, we travel less and less. That said, her unpredictable performance has helped me capture moments in new light (and color.)

With our air conditioner out of commission for my last days at home, I've sought solace from the D.C. heat and humidity in memories of seeking warmth in wool.

Washington, D.C.

Tomorrow, I leave for Europe. With or without her, I'm not sure. I'll return on June 28, hopefully clear in mind and ready to handle returning to an old town and a new phase in my life.
