Have I mentioned I live in Beckley now?

So I recently upended my life, joined AmeriCorps, and moved to Beckley, WV. That's part of the reason there haven't been many posts lately. The other part is that I have been feeling that this blog might have outlived it's purpose. I'm not in school anymore, and I find it easier to share recent work on my Tumblr. I don't think I will delete this blog yet, but there may be even fewer posts in the future.

Chicago in the summertime

Wow, it's been a long time

And I still don't have anything great to post. But you can look at a picture of my extremely cute kitten, if you want.

Finally

One month after my first spring post, spring may in fact actually be here. Maybe.

It was all yellow

My obligatory spring post.

Green River

Chicago kicked off its St. Patrick's Day celebrations with the annual dyeing of the Chicago River. Everyone had a great time, despite the chilly weather.

Planes, Trains, and Automobiles

Yeah, I know this post's title is cheesy, I just don't care. These pics were taken on various rambles over the past two weeks.

Berwyn

I'm always glad to be home.

It's raining, It's pouring

And I thought it was fun to photograph snowy nights.

Foremost

This building caught my eye, for some reason.

Forgotten

I was going through my hard drive last night, and I found this photo that I took in a hotel room that I no longer remember. The light is still beautiful though.

The surface of the moon

Sometimes I truly feel I have stumbled onto another planet.

Chicago Digs

I was bored this afternoon, so I took some pics of my new place. It's fantastic, but the best part about it is that it's in Chicago.

First Impressions

I officially moved to Chicago yesterday, and while I haven't had time to have a good photo wandering session, I did take a few frames in my new apartment. The first is the nighttime view from my living room window, the second is of some memories I brought with me, and the third is the morning sun through my blinds.

I'm looking forward to the next phase of my life here in Chicago, and I plan on documenting it all photographically and sharing here on my blog. I hope you enjoy.

It's here

The snowpocalypse is upon us. Or at least it was last Wednesday.

Sisters

I took some photographs of two of my oldest friends the other day. Whitney and Caty have known me longer than almost anyone, and for some reason they still want to be friends with me. I don't know why. All I know is that I am lucky to have them in my life.
