NEW THINGS.

I am now located in Delaware! In the beautiful coast town of Rehoboth Beach with my best friend.
Life is about to be interesting!!

We made it by the last light of day!

Lost Love Shall Return?

So, I spent the better part of my summer working at a scout camp. The rest of it I spent sitting in nostalgia of it. I absolutely fell in love with this place; it became a new home, the people a new family. Unfortunately, it will not be opening again next summer, so we are working hard to get the name out there for hundreds of future kids to learn about life and have the experiences that every kid should. Anyway, this post is full of pics. This is a summary of my summer, the summer I fell in love with Lost Lake Scout Reservation and re-found my love of scouting, children and the wilderness.
Enjoy.

In which I was almost speared by the American flag.

We folded and organized at least one hundred platform tents.

This was the view from the stage, where I got to work every day.

Hamburgers!

Essentially LLSR.

No truer words were ever scrawled.

Mackinac day-off trip.

Veteran appreciation flag ceremony.

Assistant Program Director and Commissioner.

Camp stars are the best stars.

Picture 50 people like this and you have the camp staff.

I found this little guy.

AND I BELIEVE THAT MY HEART WILL GO ONNNNNNN!

Lost Lake Love.

If you guys want to help out at all, please watch and share the new youtube channel dedicated to informing people about the awesome that is LLSR. We need scouts and scouts need camp!

With love and memories,

Happy Gay Day!

Gay Pride Week in Lansing. <3
Got my AF lens back too. :)

I also designed the T-shirts for our day camp, Sunny Woods. The theme was pirates.
I tested many shades of red to find the one I wanted for the background.

Love is in the air...

My first go at night photography with a manual lens on a digital camera... Not the greatest, but a learning experience none-the-less!

My best friend (right) and his lover.

We went out again the next evening. Much better shots. These are my favorites. :)
