Climbing the Gunks November 2011

technology + media innovation: video games!

In my creative approach, I am often interested in the way video games and a new breed of mobile web applications have affected the way we now process information at an alarming speed.

wedding tulle

I never thought I would be the kind of girl to really enjoy planning a wedding, but it turns out that I’ve caught the wedding dress bug.

Eden Dog Sledding (Eden, VT)

As my irises adjusted, I started to see movement and fur: a few couches, a love-seat here or there that seemed relaxed and breathing slowly somehow, a television screen blocked by two pairs of ears across the room, counter tops with fluffy paws resting on them… and finally I took in that there were about eighteen warm, fuzzy bodies laying around on comfortable couches, sofas, loveseats, or just the floor next to the fireplace.

Snowpocalypse 2010

Family time in the snow, 2010.

Driving in the Snow (Vermont 2011)

I am happy to report that we are home now from a trip up into New England that was treacherous at its worst, cold enough to freeze our noses at best.

I did get my driver to pull the car aside a few times so I could capture the majestic mountains at distances equal to that of the heavens. That, and a few horses. Enjoy.

The Art of Dressing Warmly (Long Trail, VT)

For those of us who are less winter-go-lucky (or problematically asthmatic), there was the spa escape of a mountain resort, an adventure spent dog-sledding in Eden, and the day we all went snow shoeing up in Smuggler’s Notch. We’d done this same hike last year, and so I took the opportunity to lag behind, nurse my winter lungs, and take a few glorious shots in the woodsy surround.

Enjoy a fantastic video by a New Jersey friend on the Oregon Coast.
