THIS BLOG IS A TRAVEL BLOG, IT IS AN ACCOUNT OF THE PLACES I EXPERIENCE AND THE PHOTOS I TAKE. I HAVE ASKED FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER TO SEND ME ONE ROLL OF FILM, AND AFTER I DEVELOP THE FILM I WILL POST IT ON THIS BLOG CREDITED TO THE PERSON WHO SENT IT AND THEY CAN SEE JUST WHERE THEIR FILM WILL TRAVEL TO. HELP ME ALONG ON MY JOURNEYS OR SIMPLY CHECK OUT MY BLOG. [ALL PHOTOS ARE SHOT WITH FILM BY ME UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED] PLEASE FEEL FREE TO LEAVE COMMENTS, I’D LOVE FOR THIS TO BE AN INTERACTIVE BLOG.Tumblr (3.0; @this-is-the-place)http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d8b1c3a89a924c3f2ee9e98c7e16ac1c/tumblr_mmlbnlww2z1qe3qufo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Upper Bidwell Park-Chico, CA<br/>December 2012</p>http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/50094824441http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/50094824441Fri, 10 May 2013 09:11:45 -0700filmcolor35mmupperbidwell parkwinter<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/00b34216ba495ec6b909cff085e47ecd/tumblr_mm1a0xeZDZ1qe3qufo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Upper Bidwell Park-Chico,CA<br/>December 2012</p>http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/49199546833http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/49199546833Mon, 29 Apr 2013 13:24:33 -0700filmcolor35mmupperbidwell parkchicowinter<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7796e2aaeda151bb984e58fa48ecb8a7/tumblr_mlzroaCapl1qe3qufo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Upper Park-Chico, CA<br/>December 2012</p>http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/49140282877http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/49140282877Sun, 28 Apr 2013 17:50:34 -0700filmcolor35mmupperparkbidwell park<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/70eab4db9e25308800c4d18112a27dd6/tumblr_mlx933zq1x1qe3qufo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Upper Bidwell Park-Chico, CA<br/>December 2012</p>http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/49014466901http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/49014466901Sat, 27 Apr 2013 09:13:51 -0700filmcolor35mmUpper Parkbidwell parkchico<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/bb62534023ce24b8d4d512a9ae2a1f0b/tumblr_mlx8zxurOK1qe3qufo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Upper Bidwell Park-Chico, CA<br/>December 2012</p>http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/49014333797http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/49014333797Sat, 27 Apr 2013 09:11:57 -0700filmcolor35mmbidwell parkchicowintergreen<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/05e6b424cdb670e65ff04ee488e08d39/tumblr_mlvkajhYMN1qe3qufo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/48941772972http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/48941772972Fri, 26 Apr 2013 11:20:00 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5daf2b2410fe0d2e366797501698f3f2/tumblr_mlvk4qK8At1qe3qufo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Upper Bidwell Park-Chico,CA<br/>December 2012</p>http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/48941578894http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/48941578894Fri, 26 Apr 2013 11:17:14 -0700colorfilm35mmUpper Parkbidwell park<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/01a2318d11ce59e536fe2e173f9d26ae/tumblr_mlvk2nS4N21qe3qufo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Upper Bidwell Park-Chico, CA<br/>December 2012</p>http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/48941511020http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/48941511020Fri, 26 Apr 2013 11:15:59 -0700filmcolor35mmwinterUpper Parkbidwell park<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/17037bdc884c9d7550b42008d6970727/tumblr_mlgkcgMV391qe3qufo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Upper Bidwell Park-Chico, CA<br/>December 2012</p>http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/48282634008http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/48282634008Thu, 18 Apr 2013 08:57:52 -0700chicoNorthern Californiaupper parkbidwell parkfilmcolor35mmwinter<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/12a8a948b20a81c5688a1945851e30df/tumblr_mlgk25NoAD1qe3qufo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Upper Bidwell Park-Chico, CA<br/>December 2012</p>http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/48282322205http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/48282322205Thu, 18 Apr 2013 08:51:00 -0700hikebidwell parkchicoNorthern Californiafilmcolor35mm“Two people who were once very close can<br/> without blame<br/> or grand betrayal<br/> become strangers.<br/> perhaps this is the saddest thing in the world.”<br/><br/> - <em><p>Warsan Shire (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://wordsthat-speak.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">wordsthat-speak</a>)</p> <p>I don’t usually reblog, but wow I can’t agree with this more</p></em>http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/47367621063http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/47367621063Sun, 07 Apr 2013 07:52:14 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/8d097dd826aa67aae5af096bc786b354/tumblr_mkqky2eLk71qe3qufo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Just a few days away until the group show I curated Perceived Personas is here! If you’re in the bay area please come out on Monday night to see some great art by some talented ladies and hear some beautiful acoustic music by a few talented gents. It starts at 8:00 and is located in San Francisco’s SOMA district at 9th and Folsom. This show focuses on the complexities of self portraits, exploring the layers of deception and truth through various mediums such as bronze sculpture, photography, oil on canvas, mixed media, etc. Please come out and support your local artists! No cover. </p> <p>p.s. it will also be my birthday!</p> <p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/163386977149551/?notif_t=plan_user_joined" title="Facebook event." target="_blank">facebook </a>event.</p>http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/47110640964http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/47110640964Thu, 04 Apr 2013 08:13:14 -0700art showsomasan franciscomerchants of realityperceived personas<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/3fe733d9e4287d272262201c96feb128/tumblr_mkpgsqW6PG1qe3qufo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Pacifica, CA<br/>Decemeber 2012</p>http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/47066796285http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/47066796285Wed, 03 Apr 2013 17:46:02 -0700filmcolor35mmforeststickscaliforniapacifica<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a59f668e40f0e1086cd9720a07a822b8/tumblr_mkpf321ohr1qe3qufo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Pacifica, CA<br/>December 2012</p>http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/47063655206http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/47063655206Wed, 03 Apr 2013 17:09:02 -0700filmcolor35mmsticksforestboycalifornia<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/f35d6584ff89c79d996ac927fb59b577/tumblr_mkmxi3TN4F1qe3qufo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>San Francisco, CA<br/>2012</p>http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/46941570035http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/46941570035Tue, 02 Apr 2013 08:54:03 -0700filmcolor35mmsf<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/68773e8257f656de2172d95f612d7112/tumblr_mkmxfpuwug1qe3qufo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My Nephew is just too cute. <br/>November 2012</p>http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/46941489512http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/46941489512Tue, 02 Apr 2013 08:52:37 -0700chicocawagonrednephewadorableorchardtreesfallautumnfilmcolor35mm<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/3390f4177757084c4faaf2b5d5af244a/tumblr_mkgl8lzz4h1qe3qufo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Chico, CA<br/>November 2012</p>http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/46651449576http://this-is-the-place.tumblr.com/post/46651449576Fri, 29 Mar 2013 22:43:33 -0700treefilmcolor35mmorchardfallautumnyellowhomewalnut<p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/2ce4d3fe12afe6a6659fe1a97a546b16/tumblr_inline_mk36pd61sA1qz4rgp.jpg"/></p> <p class="p1">The path taken to a place can be as definitive as the destination itself.
