Out of Touch

I began writing this post over the summer and it would seem a waste not to have a post about the most wonderful summer of my life. Here's a photo series i've been working during my time at Capitol Reef, a sort of rorschach test found in the scenery surrounding me. 

What's your interpretation? 

 What a summer so far. I have made a new home at Capitol Reef National Park as an interpretive intern this season. I've been reading quite a bit of Edward Abbey and been spending most of my time exploring the crevices of the Waterpocket Fold along with venturing to Boulder mountain nearly every weekend. I've been surrounded by the most breathtaking views, had adventures and came into contact with some of the greatest people i've ever had the opportunity to meet. It's been phenomenal.

Moab Pictures from adventures past.

The observer is aware of more than one image; he creates thousands of images. But is the observer different from these images? Isn't he just another image? He is always adding to and subtracting from what he is; he is a living thing all the time weighing, comparing, judging, modifying and changing as a result of pressures from outside and within - living in the field of consciousness which is his own knowledge, influence and innumerable calculations. At the same time when you look at the observer, who is yourself, you see that he is made up of memories, experiences, accidents, influences, traditions and infinite varieties of suffering, all of which are the past. So the observer is both the past and the present, and tomorrow is waiting and that is also a part of him. He is half alive and half dead and with this death and life he is looking...

Summer Adventures. Let me say that this guy has probably got more use out of this board in one summer than I have in the past four years. Good times with best buddie Mac.

Δ Δ Δ Δ Δ Summer: Part 1 Δ Δ Δ Δ Δ

What a summer, I must say one of the most enjoyable of my life. I landed back in the states after living in China for four months at the end of June. I hung with my family for a week in the High Uintahs, climbed Kings Peak (highest climb in Utah, whoo!), then meandered forty miles south and ended up popping out at a buddy's cabin. After that adventure, I hitched a ride with a friend to Telluride where I picked up THE beautiful Sprinter Van that I got to call home for the next two months. What good times I had, mostly traveling between Wyoming and Colorado between music festivals, stopping along the way to see family and friends and explore the trails of the West. I'm officially a festival gal, and can't seem to get enough of 'em. You can call me a vagabond vendor, selling jewelry on the side to get me to the music festival scene. Dig It! I can't even begin to explain the amazing times I had this summer, I just find myself looking forward to next festival season. I've met so many great people and had phenomenal adventures. I even got my camera out and got a few shots to add to my music photography, here are some pics from the fantastic time I had. 

Home Sweet Home. 

 Fell in love with this kiddo's, they helped me realize that I had two hammocks in my van and helped me set them up at Grand Targhee. Too cute!

 This is the view from my booth at Targhee Bluegrass. Best show of the season and I had an actual view of the stage! 

Alabama Shakes

 Spent the last two weeks at my brother's (you could say that we have the same parents but different cousins) house in Boulder. This is taken standing in his living room. Pretty sure I left my heart in Boulder. 

 One of the best shows of the summer. Alabama Shakes blew my MIND!!!
