Hey!
Well, 2014 came and went like a butterfly on the breeze. Instead of issuing my regrets about not having done more posts or going on more photographic adventures, I'm taking now to look at what I did accomplish last year and set goals for the rest of this year.
So, here's a look at 2014, month by month:
January:
Got the year started with a pretty nice first "photo a day" off my iPhone
Thought a bit about my life...
Got a puppy. This is Bella.
Got to shoot the cover of a local parks and recreation brochure.
Checked "watching the clouds roll into the mountains from above" off my bucket list.
February:
Completed a less-than-24-hourlong trip to Vegas...
... T'was a pretty fun trip.
Found an airstream in the forest.

After 10 long years, I quit my restaurant job. And met my self-fulfilling paper prophecy.
I took a walk on the edge.
Found a cool cave.
I went underwater.
April:
Had another successful jaunt at Coachella...
And met some amazing people! I love these goofballs.

October:
Got October started with a trip to Carpenteria, to check out the Avocado Festival.

... and saw some ripe ass avocados.
Got to shoot a high school friend's wonderful little wedding!
And to cap off October, I met a snail in the rain on All-Hallows' Eve.
November was rather quiet, just a nice little road trip to Vegas to meet up with a friend for her birthday.
December:
And finally, to cap off the year, I took my first road trip up to San Francisco to celebrate my birthday. Crammed in a whole bunch of touristy sights in a whole not-a-lotta time!

And my last yummy image of my year.
