Fear not… I am alive!
Wow. It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly a year since I last posted! Thanks to graduating from college, getting a real job and figuring out how life works in the real world, I’ve sort of neglected my poor webpage. Perhaps 2008 will be a time to change that.
2007 was an absolutely amazing year though. How do I even begin to catch people up on what has gone on? Perhaps the best way at the moment is through Flickr.
Click on through, as I take you on a photographic journey of the last 12 months…
January 2007
Moved into a new apartment the previous month and still figuring out the new neighborhood. Of course, the view from our living room is absolutely amazing. This is an HDR photo that I took one evening.
Of course on January 9th, I was mugged and fought the attacker off with my tripod.
February
On Super Bowl Sunday, the Queen Mary 2 came to San Francisco for the first time to pay a visit. Went down to the Bay to watch it come in. What a *huge* boat.
There was a Valentine’s Day pillow fight.
Later in the month, my roommates and newfound friends rented a cabin in Lake Tahoe for a weekend of snowboarding and skiing. It was a blast. Fortunately, this wasn’t our cabin.
It was also the first time I’ve ever put snow chains on a vehicle. It’s a huge pain when it’s windy, cold and snowing.
March
March was a month punctuated by BBQ’s and anti-war protests. I love San Francisco.
April
In April, two of our friends left for a two-year around-the-world trip. To celebrate, we ventured out to the East Bay to connect with the flora and fauna.
May
This month featured a trip to the island of Kauai, as well as San Francisco’s annual (and crazy) Bay to Breakers event.
Bay to Breakers 2007
I was also the official photographer for a website launch party (www.thebarbook.com)
And I was also punched in the face at a bar. That was fun.
June
Camping trips with friends!
And of course, jumping into icy mountain streams…
July
Wow. July has few pictures. I did buy an iPhone and took a picture with that…
August
A pretty low key month as well. Traveled to Southern California for a bit thanks to work. Also took photos of various bands.
This is a friend of a friend’s band called Smith Point
This is Little Yellow Perfect
This is Squaretape
September
September was the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love. So we celebrated in true San Francisco fashion.
October
Zombies attacked San Francisco! Luckily, I was there to document the event. And my photos were posted on a variety of websites.
Chicken John! (This dude was running for Mayor of San Francisco)
Fleet Week also happened this month and featured the Blue Angels paying a visit to San Francisco. Nothing short of awesome.
November
Visited my sister in New York City. That was my first time there. Awesome!
December
Angie Mattson came to town!
And we went snowboarding in Tahoe at the end of the month.
And no trip (or year for that matter) is complete without a stop at your local In N’ Out burger.
So there you have it. My life in 2007, in photos. What a great year! Here’s to hoping that 2008 is even more amazing.
