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!!!

Website Update

Finally updated my website with the concert photography that i've taken since summer began. Whoo! There has been some big changes as well. The last photo class I took my professor urged me to figure out what name I wanted to go by. Who was I? What name did I wanted to be known by as a photographer? There are so many possibilities and I confused many people by not sticking with the same one. Last year I decided that Harley Cinimin suited me just fine. Well, A LOT has happened since then, I was out on my own living in another country for half the year, having adventures, living in a van traveling to music festivals, (Not quite sure how i'm going to one-up these things next year), etc. I've grown so much, I have a lot more to do but I feel like i'm getting closer to the person I want to be. So I've chosen the name that I was given, the one that was the real me all the time. Cinimin Girl. How did I not see it before? This is an invigorating change and although it means I toss out all my business cards that I have, it's all for the better. Also, I think i'm going to expand from music photography soon and put up other genres of my photography. Check it out and enjoy.
