ladies and gentlemen

introducing

they are:

Jules

Kyle

Austin

"O My Darlin’ is an Alternative Metal group based out of Spokane, Washington. With the perfect blend of blazing dueling guitar riffs and the knowledge of song structure and sell-ability of their music, O My Darlin’ is making themselves known around the region as “The Fresh Sound” Currently in the process of recording their first self produced album, the band has, rightfully so, entered themselves into the world of the music industry"

i had the most radical time shooting with these guys

they are a hoot

of the Angela Marie Project.

we have a single, 

35 Seconds.

part of proceeds will go to Haiti disaster relief. 

this is a piece inspired by AM's relief work in Haiti 

where upbeat music keeps the spirit alive!

with Brent.

(and she always lets me push him, which i love)

weekdays

when it comes right down to it,

if i concentrate really hard

with all the positive energy i can muster.

eventually i can occasionally admit..

Spokane isn't so bad.

first of all

good people abound

(as evidenced by previous blog posts)

and second of all, 

it's got some pretty sweet nature going on.

we take advantage of this when we can.

so. jaydn, 

bird, 

and i went out one day

to find some adventures.

we hiked around a bit

and found huge rocks.

boulders, if you will.

(and i will)

the boys climbed them.

we met a new friend along the way.

jason was his name 

(i think)

we finished the day by relaxing at the river

basking in the sunshine and playing in the water

enjoying the company of good friends.

no complaints here!

in other news,

i guess there is some sort of solar storm happening.

it made the world look incredibly strange yesterday

i hope we can see it here, that looks seriously radical!

also, here's a few self-portraits for your viewing enjoyment:

dig it.

here's to you, jaydn and bird.

to sunshine and nature and laughter and friends.

more soon.
