20070611 home sweet oregon

i landed back in vegas an hour ago. it was the most poignant return since leaving oregon just over a year ago. after spending a week in the place that feels most like home to me, coming back to vegas felt unknown. i miss the people, play and lifestyle of oregon dearly....but even in this moment i'm firm in my excitement to be living in this bizarre city and pursuing stories i feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to work on. i mean, the adventure and exploration away from that personal comfort zone must play an important role, it is my story.

with that, a glimpse from my parting adventure with craig mitchelldyer on mt. hood today for snowboarding before heading to the airport. this is from the top of the miracle mile at timerline, where mt. jefferson shines from above the thick cloud cover.
