Downtown Winston-Salem

"A city is a place where there is no need to wait for next week to get the answer to a question, to taste the food of any country, to find new voices to listen to and familiar ones to listen to again." -Margaret Mead

Downtown Winston-Salem

The Nissan Building

Here is a little homage to my hometown. I felt like I needed a little switch-up from all of the outdoor/scenic type of shots, and decided to try out some cityscapes instead.

The Sail Inn Show

"The function of music is to release us from the tyranny of conscious thought." - Sir Thomas Beecham

Little Hurricane

I attended a show in March at the The Sail Inn, in Tempe, during my stay in Arizona. I was also fortunate enough to be able to finally meet James, who also happens to be my best friend's cousin. It is a small world, and it was comforting to be able to hang out with someone with a common connection to someone I missed so much while I was away. Not to mention, all of the bands that played are incredibly talented.

Grand Canyon

"It's like trying to describe what you feel when you're standing on the rim of the Grand Canyon or remembering your first love or the birth of your child. You have to be there to really know what it's like. " - Jack Schmitt

This is from my drive back across the US. Instead of cutting straight east, I went north first to go visit the Grand Canyon for the first time. It was much bigger and grander than I ever would have thought was possible before I saw it. Unfortunately, I wasn't there at the prettiest time of day, but I still managed to get a few photos.
