    Here are some photos I took of a fencing championship of some sort. I don’t really know or understand how official fencing contests work, though. They don’t let me play in the real-deal-holyfield games because my moves are ‘too radical’ and ‘shockingly awesome’ and ‘please, Charlie, stop stabbing at people playing basketball’. Anyway, fencing is…

    We went to Stonehenge last weekend. As is standard, I needed a break from the break due to how busy it was. We had quite a bit of fun and saw a great deal of stuff. We spent time in Bath and Salisbury (of the steak fame) and checked out some of the oldest blocks…

    Stu and Pulkit let me stay at their place for a couple of weeks over the winter break. I got to hang out with Kaya and Buddy, which was nice. It was also good to see Stu and Pulkit. We rented a car over the Winter Holiday and fucked around the area. Went to some…

    We, that is Darren, Rick and I, went to London and tooled around for a bit. It was a lot of fun. London is pretty and busy and vital in a way that no American city is (even you, New York). Shit, the small town I live in has 10,000 fewer people than Cedar Rapids,…

    This is the first picture of James I ever took: It was taken on October 21st, 2010. Which is, at the time of this writing, roughly 12 years ago. The picture was taken at a volunteer outing he organized and led at Ung Bướu Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. James took his life…

    The first time I went to India, the friend of the family I was supposed to stay with died just before I arrived. I didn’t want to intrude on their grieving, so I took my shit to the train station nearest Mumbai International Airport and bought a ticket to a place that people went to…

    So, to begin with- and I’ll let you know when this changes- all of these photos were taken with a Canon ELF. They suck and are very low res. These were also taken in the time before I knew anything about photography. So, these are mostly for historical value. That said, many trips begin in…

    I am going through old photos, month by month, and I’ll be posting them weekly via gallery. Below are some of the earliest photos I took. Some of them will be arty and some will be people that I know and care about. These pictures feature my beloved scooter, Brunhilde, and also Jake and Josh.…

    While I’ve been to the UK before, I’ve not ‘lived’ there in the resident sense. Tooling around in a country’s biggest city for a couple of weeks is different from living there. Now I’m living here. It’s a real trip, man. Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon are both from the area; exciting, right? First impressions:…
