Apparently transition is one of the things that inspires me to write. It’s as though there is a special class of feelings that I express more efficiently with an audience. Or maybe as an increasing number of people ask, “Are you ready for _____?” I’m inspired to craft some type of general press release that… Continue reading Turns Out I Still Hate Leaving | Bright Sides
Video Premiere | Payphone by Maroon 5 (Cover)
What do you know, Eps + Bedeni are back at it! We actually filmed this a couple months ago, right after a weekend at the beach surfing! Yeah that happened! And then this incredibly tumultuous summer led to the footage just sitting on my computer for a spell, but finally here it is for all… Continue reading Video Premiere | Payphone by Maroon 5 (Cover)
Delicious Grain-Free Brownies
BROWNIES!!!! Are amazing. I love brownies. I have relied on this superb recipe from Instructables forever. However I also am trying to eat less white flour and fewer processed sugars. We have a lot of dates at our house right now, and they are sweet and delicious and gooey… kind of good attributes in a… Continue reading Delicious Grain-Free Brownies
Newborn Shoot | Baby Ray
Introducing Baby Ray! A week after my friends had this sweet little baby, they asked if I could come over and take some pictures. I happily obliged. This is my first time doing a photo shoot with a newborn. Thankfully my little subject was both cooperative and very expressive. This kid seriously makes the best… Continue reading Newborn Shoot | Baby Ray
A Traditional Dinner at the Black Raven
You find the Black Raven in the streets behind St. Matthias Church in the old city of Budapest. Nestled between a series of small restaurants boasting traditional Hungarian cuisine, the Black Raven drew me in because of its competitive prices and outdoor seating. The inside of the restaurant would be a cute place to hunker… Continue reading A Traditional Dinner at the Black Raven
Budapest | Day & Night
Budapest is a beautiful city full of history. There are a lot of things to see there, and you could easily fill several days with sight-seeing. Since I’ve been there before, and I’m a little burned out on tourist-trappiness, I took it pretty easy this time around. I managed to pick up some sweet shots… Continue reading Budapest | Day & Night
5 Things That Are Weird to Me After 18 Months Overseas
I have now been out of the United States for 18 months (except for a small interlude last fall) and there are a number of things that used to be a perfectly normal part of my life and now seem incredibly strange to me. Or at least a little bit weird. I though I would… Continue reading 5 Things That Are Weird to Me After 18 Months Overseas
I Think I Used To Be A Runner
I have long been reticent to use the term “runner” to describe myself. As a whole I tend to avoid naming my hobbies as identities. I write, but am slow to say I am a “writer.” I take photos, but I don’t know if I am necessarily a “photographer.” Over the course of last year… Continue reading I Think I Used To Be A Runner
Failure
I’ve been reflecting on failure in some form or another for about a month now. What it is, what its opposites are, how it plagues me, how I will relate to it. As I contemplate failure, success doesn’t seem to be the other side of it. I think perhaps because success to me is a… Continue reading Failure

I took a bunch of beautiful pictures, went and ate at some awesome restaurants, thought of things to write about it all on the blog… and then life happened! I’ve finally gotten some of it together to share with… Continue reading Better Late Than Never | Sneak Preview | Eastern Europe
