Haystack Rock - Cannon Beach, OR

This is an old photo I took in 2006. I was watching The Goonies today and remembered a trip that a friend and I took to Cannon Beach.

Full Moon at Perigee

Art Climbing

Taken in May 2006 while in Chicago visiting Jer. Not the best quality photo. I wanted to post it to show off my sculpture climbing skills. Yes, totally drunk. Thank you.

Think of the Children

Aussie & Alyssa

Triston & Isabelle

Yes they are.

Newhouse Building

Pythonidae

This python was something like 14 feet long and I forget how much she said it weighed but it was gigantic and pretty.

Haaay Jesus

I took this photo and immediately realized that I was on my knees before Jesus for the first time in my life. I love this statue. I guess from that comment you could say that I love Jesus. He sounds like a cool guy.

Anxiety

I think most people feel peace and calm when they watch clouds. I guess I feel that way most of the time as well. When a cloud passes between the sun it freaks me out a little. I have this need to try and figure out how long it will take for the sun to come out again and then I've completely lost that halcyonic moment.

Fall More

I don’t think I’ve ever appreciated this season as much as I do this year. The colors are just so ridiculous.

Autumn on Monte Cristo

Skhizein

I would try to explain how I feel about this one but I honestly don't know. I believe he was talking to himself.

Devil's Darning Needle

Here's Carson

Piñon?

I'm not sure what kind of coniferous tree this was but it was very... all by itself.

40,000 BTUs

I like camping. It's even more exciting when there are drunk people near a fire.

Spermophilus lateralis

I called this Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel a bitch. I don't know what came over me and I feel really bad about it. There were also several hikers who snuck up behind me while I was talking to this forest creature and overheard my profanity. I would apologize to them but they were laughing so I don't think they were offended. Most of the people on the trail were speaking French so it’s quite possible that they didn't understand me and just thought it was funny that I communicate with wildlife, or that I try to intimidate tiny animals with sharp claws into posing for me.

Jared

Doesn't like his photo taken.

Hoodoo

Arachnophobia

This thing was really big and I almost walked right into it.

Puppet Shadows

Brandi

I think my little sister is pretty hardcore but I was still a little surprised when she didn't really complain about anything we put her through for this shoot. It was hot. It smelled bad. There were brine flies and brine shrimp all over the shore. I'm not so sure that I would've been able to do it without being ultra bitchy. She is such a trooper.

Look up

I took this photo in downtown Salt Lake. It kind of seems out of place to me.

I know, right?

This photo makes me feel so good about my life.
