this is not my picture. there is a blog called day19.com, and it is run by jeremy and claire weiss. based out of l.a., they take photos for major magazines and ad campaigns; pop culture kind of stuff. they also run a gallery called "this", this picture if from a show at that gallery.
these are just a bunch of pictures that have been collecting on my memory card, in my phone, and on my desktop. hope all is well and everyone is happy.
love luck and lollipops

Weekend Escape

the clouds (not only cool looking) were a welcome rest from the hot greek sun.
thomas shaking out on the long pitch.

thistle over litohoro

kind of reminds me of yosemite

it is a long way up . . . wait down?

so, the weather is good, school is stressful, and the rock is dry. what to do, what to do? well, last weekend i went with my climbing partner and good friend thomas to a multipitch just below olympos called zilnia. the trip was awesome and better yet, very cheap. we were able to stay with a professional runner who lives in the village close by, litohoro. his name is alex and he regularly makes the run from the village up to the highest shelter on olympos. he has won the olympos marathon like four times; super cool guy and we thank him for his hospitality. The picture of me was taken by thomas about 150 meters off the deck so thanks.
