Happy New Year Y’all.

As a little New Year gift to you, I wanted to share my favourite tunes from 2014. These songs, not necessarily released this past year, have been my most played of this year (literally though, Spotify informed me with glee that The 1975’s “Sex” was my most played song of 2014)

There’s a few themes, the most prominent one being nostalgia. Nostalgia for youth and lack of responsibilities. Not unremarkable given that 2014 was the year I turned 30.

Notably absent is Taylor Swift, her entire back catalog, whilst frequently on repeat, wouldn’t make the most interesting playlist so she has been omitted.

Party on.

  • ✨ Just out here in Oregon taking the best photos of my life. . But seriously though, ever since I moved here I've been dying to shoot "night sky over mount hood" and put my aurora borealis photography learnin's to the test. So this weekend when I was out at Lost Lake it became a must do. The evening I had planned to do it, my camera battery started flashing. It was about to die (I had no spare battery and no power source - lesson learned!). I knew I had very little time to get the shot. I sat there, in the dark fiddling around trying different exposures and not getting anywhere near what I wanted. I snapped this and as I went to review I caught a glimpse (enough to make me excited!) and the camera died. I didn't get to see it until 14 hours later! It was like developing film again. But it was worth the wait, I'm so chuffed! . Inspired by my grandfather's notes on all the photos in his albums, here are the specs: shot on Canon 5D Mark iii, 40mm prime lens, ISO 2500, 30 sec exposure at 2.8 fstop. During the exposure I used my headlamp to paint in the foreground and create the illumination effect. Very minimally edited, adjusted contrast and removed extra light flares from the headlamp.
  • A lake-ly story. More shenanigans in (omg NOT the link in profile) but my IG STORY. Limited time only unless I decide I like it enough to move to highlights.... 📷✨ @chrlstnjoe
  • 🗻💎 Winter in Oregon - a little round up of my seasonal escapades in my new state now on ze blog. This shot of Mount Hood at Trillium Lake was shot with my 40mm lens through a crystal prism - giving the reflection effect!
  • When people ask me what I miss about Los Angeles, I say Joshua Tree. Yeah, I know. Here's some pics from a moment in time at the Krblin Jihn Kabin. Which is a really strange place. More about it and even more snaps on le blog (link in profile)
  • Kind of got used to Cuba being an annual thing, so missed it this year. Pondering the ways in which it could have changed already.
