The end of the road….for now ; p
As I sit in Hawaii, listening to the rain and waiting for the hurricane, smelling the grilled cheese Brad is making in the kitchen, it is the bittersweet time to enter the last entry (for now!) in the road trip photographer blog. There are many more trip planned in the future, and I just got my tentative acceptance into the Peace Corps! You know you can count on me for some interesting photographs for many years to come!
For now, I’ll upload a gallery of some faves from the last month of the trip, and just say that it was a nice last month indeed. Lots of quiet time and solitute and national forests for me and the doggies. We picked up a hitchkiker for the last 1200 miles, so that provided some fun entertainment and some savings on gas $$! Poor guy hit a deer in the middle of nowhere Wyoming! In a crazy bit of luck, he was trying to get to Bowling Green IL, which is literally 1.5 hours from my mom’s house (my destination).
In the last month, we traveled through Washinton state and the Cascades, through Idaho (surprisingly stunning), Yellowstone, Cody Wyoming, and then a straight shot 2 day haul back home.
Thanks to everyone who thought we were interesting enough to follow along.
Special thanks to all the amazing people we met along the way, and the friends we visited, who gave us a driveway to park in and a shower to bathe in. The trip certainly wouldn’t have been as rich without you!
Thanks to Shary and Ryan for the extended stay in driveway (6 weeks!) and to my bro for climbing that mountain with me : )
Much love to the clients I met and photographed along the way, I REALLY appreciated the gas money.
Woof Woof from Daisy and Max to all the friends they suckered into loving and petting and walking them along the way.
Aloha!

Alecia, your work is as amazing as your intentions are noble. You have been a great instructor and a strong inspiration for me… and I appreciate the time we were able to work together.
Best wishes to you in the Peace Corps, and high hopes to meeting up with you again!

thanks CJ! I enjoyed working with you as well. You know I love an assistant who can hold an off camera flash for me in one hand and shoot with a 5D and 70-200 in the other hand. those are skills!
