Hollister Ranch

Here in California we have been enjoying the long summer days with old friends and new friends. Taking time out of my day to get peace of mind away from cement roads and crowded beaches makes all the difference, especially with people who I call family. Just north of Santa Barbara, we are lucky to have pristine coastline and a ranch that many people dream of. Hanging out with The Hollisters at Hollister Ranch is as good as it gets. More summer days to come and a lifetime full of memories to make.

Megan Part 1

This year I have had all sorts of creative challenges but perhaps my biggest adventure was learning how to use my Canon Rebel SLR in my photography class. As the academic year is winding down, my photos are starting to become more refined into a particular style of photographic interest and post processing that compliments how I see the world. Getting the technicalities out of the way, I can now do more of what I want- meaning that I can mimic what I am seeing in my head and through my eyes via the lens of the camera and computer screen.

This is my friend Megan, you can visit her at the Juice Ranch on Parker Way in SB. She is one of my only friends that is Vegan that actually makes me consider the thought of cutting out animal products!  SToked to have such beautiful and sweet friends like her in my life.

The Jay

Jalama aka "The Jay" just has this magical feel to it every time I go up there. I am convinced that feeling has to do with is proximity to the Western Gate and Native spirits. You can feel it from the photos.

If you are ever in California and looking for a great place to camp, I suggest going up to Jalama State Park ! You will not be disappointed- just check the wind ahead of time.

Earth Day in SB

The Earth is definatley something to be celebrated and last weekend, I did just that at the Santa Barbara Earth Day festival at Alemda Park. I am proud to say that it was founded in Santa Barbara, CA in 1969 so the festival is something very special to the community. This year, I was pretty interested in the car show they had on display as I am looking to upgrade my wheels to something more functional. After Kilian and I munched on a French POrk Bánh mì from the O Street Truck, we went up to the SB Mountains with Courtney and Nick. Perfect way to watch the sunset and appreciate the peace of Earth I am the most grateful for ... SB!

 
The Future!
