(continued from Part 5: Coast)
Covering so many miles, seeing so many new things, constantly exploring places you didn’t know existed…a road trip is certainly an adventure. Like all good adventures though, the rewards come with an exhaustion that slowly builds up. There is a sort of comfort in the familiar; a quiet sense of permission that it’s ok to relax – that you don’t need to constantly be active. Coming full circle and now retracing our tire marks on the…
Would you believe me if I said that this postcard is a few weeks late because it got lost in the mail? Okay, I didn’t think so. In reality, I have been busy wearing my app developer hat since getting home. Apple released iOS 8 while I was out of town, which meant that there was was a pile of work waiting for me.

Then deserts, the coast, and even a couple bustling cities. We saw and experienced a lot, but still only scratched the surface of what these places have to offer.

These three photos, from part of the larger road trip I embarked on this summer (State 3: Utah!), will be on display at the Millennium Library in the Blankstein Gallery. They go up today (November 2nd) and will be on the wall until November 29th. If you happen to find yourself with some free time in downtown Winnipeg over the next month, I invite you to pop in and take a peek. Take a trip back in time and gaze upon artefacts of print media… I say that in jest, but honestly…
