this is what happens when i get bored with photoshop around.

i found this cute little web-sticker on the facebook that said: “Beautiful things happen in your life when you distance yourself from all negative things.” the quote got me thinking.

i did a file count in my photography library for each full year i’ve owned my digital camera and noted which state i was living in at the time. (i’ve put some miles on these feet choosing to live as a fagabond.) i think the numbers speak for themselves… apparently the further away from RI i am the more beautiful life gets! 🙂 let me spell it out for in case you don’t get the visuals; in 2009 i took 1,639 photos while living on the east coast (RI/MA). rather pathetic for a photographer. yet just two short years later, while living in Oregon, i took 14,570 photos!!! that’s a marginal difference of 12,931 life loving moments! (an average of 39.91 a day!!!)

sooo, dear new england, you can take your patriotism, your attitudes, your hyper-energized road rage, your proclaimed progressiveness, your dirty-foul smelling over populated streets littered with syringes and dunkin donuts cups, pack it all into your crack pipe and smoke it!

i am fucking out of here! if you need me i’ll be on the w(b)est coast meditating peacefully in the clean, fresh, quiet mountain air waiting for the big one to toss me into the ocean! 🙂 i won’t be returning to the (l)east coast so look me up if you want to check out the flip side. 😉
