I was very sick when I went to this concert, and I almost decided against going. Boy, am I glad I ended up going, it was one of the best shows I have ever experienced. First, Natalia Kills was phenomenal, just as good as I could have imagined. The only thing that sucked is her set was so...
Rick’s Happy B...

Rick had a pretty fun get together for his birthday (complete with two cakes!). The one he is holding was a whoopie pie cake, and the other was just a magnificent marble cake from Frank’s Bakery. There was tons of food and good conversation! Overall, successful...
In-Flight
posted by Matt
I was really impressed with how some of the photos of my flight coming back to Maine came out. Using a variety of filters, I think I got some really interesting in-flight photos (I may have taken some of them before in-flight electronics were approved). It’s hard to pick a favorite because they all a different attribute that makes them intriguing. I even posted some that are only slightly different because I thought the framing came out interestingly. Hope you...

On the road, driving back to Port Orchard, I thought i’d snap a few photos. It was a lot easier to do the photos in the car, than I thought it was be, whcih was...
The Pitstop
posted by Matt
On our way back from the tour of my brother’s ship, we had to get a tune-up for his car, so we stopped at a local oil/tune-up place. I got some nifty shots of some fun things that were there – the most interesting was a misplaced bowling ball near a footstool on the side of the building. I love the above photo, it came out so crisp and...
A Naval Voyage
posted by Matt
While I was visiting my brother over winter break, I was able to get a tour of ship. At first, I wasn’t hugely excited, as I don’t care a ton for boats, and not super invested in the military, but actually being on the ship was more of a modern marvel type of moment than anything else (well, not super modern, but kind of). Just seeing all the equipment and devices was really interesting and I had a lot more fun than I had anticipated. The steps were crazy though – there were a lot of them, and they were super steep! Overall, it was a good experience, and got to see a few places people rarely get to see or be near! I do...
Space Needle
posted by Matt
I have been out to my brothers a bunch of times, but had never made it to the space needle (well inside – we did go to the science fiction museum). I was happy that we were able to make it this time! The view was beautiful. I love being in really high (yet safe) places and having that...
Seattle
posted by Matt
Over winter break, I was able to go out and visit my brother in Port Orchard (near Seattle), and really got to walk around a bunch. I had been there before, but in a less exploratory way. Pike Market was closed, which was a bummer because I wanted to see fish flying around, but at least got to smell it! I really like Seattle (i’m not a huge city person), and would maybe have a viable future for me if it weren’t so rainy all the time. Luckily, the day we went, the weather was perfect. I got some GREAT photos (I think), it was hard to choose a ‘main’ photo for this post. I really like the bird one, the guy on the...

When I visited my brother over winter break, we went to a store that was a lot like Goodwill (lots of junk). I took a few photos (this was the only one with the mattic) – one of which was a early 20’s kid that had a shirt that said “Your mother should have swallowed”,...

A Midnight Walk
posted by Matt
One night I just got very bored, it was a little after midnight, and I felt like going for a walk. I love going for walks at night, listening to music, and just sort of pushing out all other thoughts, enjoying the walk and the atmosphere. At night it’s really great too because there...
A New Life

Faith, one of my colleagues, had baby Eli! Noah was being very cute with the newborn. It was an exciting process for all – we had our “staff meeting” at the hospital, and by staff meeting, I mean we all just waited in the waiting room to see the baby! Good...
