“Once it was different there. I know, for I was one of the lucky few who saw Glen Canyon before it was drowned” – Edward Abbey Like Mr. Abbey said, Dams are a destructive and manmade structure, in which rich ecosystems are destroyed in wake of the development of the human kind. Two weeks ago … Continue reading
Since the beginning of Dirty Feat, I have had no idea which way I wanted to go with the website; I have too many interests, some of which recurring, most getting lost in the depths of the back of my mind; However, there is one interest that keeps itself at the forefront of my imagination. … Continue reading
A cruise through the folders of my hard drive and I realize how fortunate we are to have the ability to capture moments that will last for years to come. 2012 wasn’t much different than most other years, however; I found myself behind the lens much more often, and on the road a lot more. … Continue reading
Sitting in the middle of the High Desert overlooking redsand ridges, smooth bluffs and snow capped peaks, I wonder what the hell a surfer finds in this dry land hundreds of miles away from the coast. A dark cloud hangs low over my head every morning where the pre dawn surf check has become non-existent, … Continue reading
“Sea-Fever” I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking, And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn … Continue reading
All the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray… It seems as if since the beginning of the states acceptance to the union, California has been viewed as a fantasy land. From Gold Rushes and South Swells to Vagabonds and Steep Ascents, reasons for migrating through the Golden State are ‘richer’ than anywhere else … Continue reading
Roadtrips aren’t Vacations. Seeing the heartland of our country behind a 1/4inch piece of glass, that constantly is littered with smashed bugs and whatever crap the truck in front of you kicked up, isn’t the most enjoyable way to experience what there is to offer, especially when your cruising 40 mph’s under the speed limit … Continue reading
Reblogged from earthstonestation: We are near the end of the election campaign in the U.S. and in a couple weeks people will be casting their ballots. This year I’m voting for my Mother, not for her beauty or for the delicious food that graces her table but because she needs my support. In this election … Continue reading
A snow storms moves in and engulfs the entire horizon in a sea of grey, Ten Mile Peak disappears from sight and the skyline looks no different than it did in Rhode Island, the view unobstructed by zippers, nylon, nor mesh. After week and a half mooching room and board in PA followed by a … Continue reading
“You sick of us yet?” “I was sick of you when you got here…” My mother is a great Host, but she’s not afraid to give you the que to leave. More than four days in PA tends to get old for both guests and hosts, so after 11 days it’s not surprising to find … Continue reading
Laying under the stars, staring into the flicker of a fire slowly burning away into the cold October night, my blood warmed by the heat of its embers and my mind slowly drifting away into reminiscence by the hypnotizing dance of flames. Going way back to my child hood, then onto the memories of … Continue reading
Its hard to act as if your road trip isn’t a vacation when you wake up late everyday with absolutely no plan. The cars have been unloaded and 3 years of junk sits in my parents garage, the Jeep is in desperate need of brakes, and the route map is still blank. “So whats your … Continue reading
A cat, a dog, an overloaded Jeep, and a stuffed Hyundai. The caravan was in order, the apartment was empty, the day had finally come. Waking up on a the floor, in a room with nothing but a rug, “Well that’s all folks,” I stated out loud to myself. Courtney lay face down, recovering from … Continue reading
The line, between the cozy life I have grown comfortable with and the complete unknown, burns thin on my last day of making a paycheck for awhile. Waking up early to check the waves has been replaced with waking up early wondering what tomorrow will bring, the same precursor I swore to never put myself … Continue reading
