My first time taking in the Columbus Italian Festival....there was alot of pizza that all looked strangely identical, antiquated big band music, lots of OSU fans wearing buckeye necklaces, fair rides, wine in plastic cups, and mostly decent cannoli. I didn't photograph any of that! I found a few cool looking people and a nice late summer night.
Took an actual vacation where I tried to not look at my phone (30% successful) or take pictures constantly (wish I had photographed the salmon run!), and saw as much as I could in a week. Here are some photos from Vancouver Island, Washington State, and Oregon. Thanks to all my buds who took me to their spots and told me about the best places to eat.
Got to see one of my favorite hip hop groups two days ago. Shabazz Palaces are Palaceer Lazaro and Tendai Maraire and are based in Seattle (I think). It was a joy to see their live, in the moment collaboration happen, jamming on beats they made up on the spot and reworking songs from their albums into whole new tunes. You can find their records here. S/O to my dude Ryan AKA George Brazil for the flash in the first photo.
