About this blog

Alright, the job market is not looking the best and since I could use a little inspiration to stoke the creative fires- a road trip is needed. So here is what I'm thinking (really Ana's idea)-grab the cameras, load up the old Xterra and see a chunk of the US in 30 days. Start in the south, work my way through the Midwest, then head west to the Pacific coast, down and back through the southwest until I'm back in Marietta.

Along the way I plan on taking a lot of photos, some video and talking to anyone that has something to say about the area I'm visiting. Doing this I hope to uncover something new about myself and borrow a little inspiration from the people and surroundings along the way.
