Alaska

22 February 2012

I’m in Alaska this week, heliskiing with a group of friends. We’ve got up in the heli for two days so far, and done a day of cat skiing. While it is cloudy and a bit foggy the snow is great. We’re hoping for a blue-bird day before our time is up.

I’m posting photos to Google+ as the week progresses.

On a recent visit to my parents in England I found my very first point-and-shoot, a gift from my Grandma for my 5th birthday. It was all crusted up with battery acid, but still had a film in. I of course had it processed and was surprised to find six photos from our 1990 family trip to Venice.

The photos are bleached out, burnt, or double-exposed, but seem rather apropos in this era of Instagram and the burgeoning cult of lo-fi.

There are a few more photos on Picasa.
