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

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...
