Road trips
It’s that season of the year when everyone piles into the car and is both sunburned and covered in sunscreen (that will then coat the seats and windows). I saw a giant swath of Utah over the weekend. And later this week I’ll see even more on the way to Wyoming. Thanks, Brigham, for discovering [...]
Picasso lake
Looking through my photos I found this one I took just after takeoff on my way to New York a few weeks ago. The periphery of The Great Salt Lake looks like it can’t decide if it wants to be water or land, and the effect is a piece of artwork. I fly so much, [...]
“If the font on your bottle of wine has no serifs, you’re good”
Last Friday morning I flew out to Ontario, California, met up with my friend Maggie and drove up the mountain to MaxFunCon at Lake Arrowhead. It’s a two day conference featuring a variety of talented comics and podcasters situated in the middle of a beautiful nowhere: Not sure I’ve ever been more intimidated by a [...]
Somewhere over northern Utah
The pilot announced we could use our electronic devices right as we were flying over this river, and I got lucky that the shot I took makes it look like it’s pointing at the plane. Having grown up miles from the Mississippi River, I should scoff at referring to this tiny thing as an actual [...]
Central Park South
I had about two seconds of free time when I was in New York on Monday and used that time to snap this quick shot right outside my hotel. This is on 59th street, the road that borders the south side of the park, looking east. That’s also the last mile of the marathon, and [...]
A brief pause
Yesterday afternoon I walked out of a building in Rockefeller Plaza to a car hired to take me to the airport in Newark. I’d been up since 5AM, and although I normally don’t notice the two-hour time difference I climbed inside and collapsed against the door. I could feel my body shutting down, starting with [...]
Utah Lake
I’m back in New York today (second time in two weeks), and I actually took this photo on the flight home last time as we flew over Utah County. That is not a lake you’d ever want to dip your toe in, but the green from the sky and the surrounding terrain look so much [...]
The line of the Wasatch
I flew back to Salt Lake City early yesterday morning. Really, really early. I left gorgeous weather in New York, and right now there’s about a foot of snow in the yard. This means that someone out there said, “There definitely won’t be another significant storm this year.” Out loud. And whoever you are, you [...]
Upside of conflict
Yesterday I flew out to New York for a couple of days to help out with a project that Every Mother Counts is working on. It’s something incredibly bold, and I can’t wait to share the final product with you. Yesterday at the airport in Salt Lake a man working the security line tried to [...]
