here is a portion, a collection of my life.
some of it has to do with travel. a lot of it has to do with photos. a bit of family, a bit of friends. a whole bunch of nonsense, really.

For my own amusement, here’s 72 year old Albert Minott of The Jolly Boys shaking his hips at Sydney Festival first night last night.

You’ve seen this, right? Just making sure.
Walk Off the Earth and Sarah Blackwood cover Gotye’s ‘Somebody That I Used to Know.’ 5 people, one guitar.
COOL.
I just booked the trip of my lifetime.
13-day Antarctica Expedition, November 2012
This is the ship.
Whoa. Whoa.
Adventurer Attempts to Cross Antarctica Solo
Felicity Aston is currently skiing 1700km across Antarctica in 70 days, and doing it all alone.
“When that plane disappeared and left me on the wrong side of Antarctica all by myself with two little sledges, it really hit me that I’m completely responsible for myself,” she said in an interview by satellite phone. “It’s just you. You have to sort out your problems, and that makes you feel very vulnerable.”
“A couple of times, I could have sworn I saw birds. But I know there is no way there are any birds up here. It’s just the brain kind of filling in the gaps for me,” she said. “As soon as you look, there’s nothing there.”
“The 34-year-old used to work as a meteorologist in Antarctica and is a veteran adventurer who has led team expeditions in the Antarctic, the Arctic and Greenland. She said she decided to attempt her first solo crossing to test her personal limits and also because she was curious about being on her own.”
She says that posting on Twitter makes her feel a little less alone.
Follow Felicity. If that’s not a Twitter worth following, I don’t know what is.
Still giddy from the show last night.
Happy Friday, internet.
Beirut : Santa Fe
WHOA.
I was at this very place in Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda 5 years ago for the gorilla trekking. One of the very best most thrilling experiences of my life.
In this video, shot a few weeks ago, a family of gorillas comes down to camp from the forest. Watch the whole thing but it gets crazy at 3 mins.

Beautiful shot, Jamie.
Beirut killed it tonight at the Opera House. Wow.
This show is easily in my Top 3. That’s alongside Arcade Fire at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and Ben Folds at the Beacon Theatre in NYC.
Wow, so so good. If you get a chance to see them live, please do.
If you don’t know them, listen/watch this.
