It's been a few months now. Of real life, that is. Well, if you consider riding a bike to National Geographic headquarters every day to play with camera gear 'real life,' but that's another debate.
Anyway, I've been thinking a lot lately about where life has taken me, where it's got me now, and where it might take me in the years to come. I've been on some pretty epic aventures in my 23 years, and I count myself as one of the luckiest people on Earth for the experiences I've had. But one thing life has taught me is that, well, sometimes you have to create your own adventures.
So in this vein, I've decided that while I'm trapped in the concrete sauna people call Washington DC, I'm going to explore Rock Creek Park. For those of you who might be wondering, Rock Creek is a downright beautiful park located right in the heart of DC. Within its 1,700 acres (that's twice the size of Central Park) you might catch a glimpse of Red Tailed Fox, White Tailed Deer, Great Horned Owls, Timber Rattlesnakes, Luna Moths, and a host of other wild animals and amazing plant species you'd never expect to find in such an urban neighborhood; there are even Coyotes in the park from time to time. And to top it off, I can ride my bike there in less than 15 minutes.
So I'll be out there at least once a week, camera in hand, to document the life cycle of this urban oasis. Each week I'll be uploading a select reel of the footage and pictures from the week, so check back in from time to time to see how life is going over at Rock Creek!
