PAUSE

On April 13th, I left Seattle in my car with my dog, four cameras, an ipod, a flat of water and some granola bars and proceeded to spend three weeks driving all over the western coast of the United States. I drove 4,070 miles in solitude, and took roughly 4,500 photographs (only about 50 of them were personal). I saw and stayed with friends that I hadn't seen in far too long. I made new friends that have already become dear to my heart. I saw clients I hadn't seen in months and years. I even made nine jars of pickles while in Phoenix. Thanks for those mason jars, Dad.

I got back to Seattle about a week and a half ago, and haven't stopped moving since. Two commercial shoots and roughly 50 hours of editing have happened in that time, and still lots to go. This photo, that I took at 30,000 feet somewhere between Arizona and Washington about three years ago is serving as my serenity.

(flights where you're chasing the sunset are epic, because it lasts for hours)

I will surface soon, but in the meantime wanted to say thank you (from the bottom of my heart) to everyone who put me up, had lunch with me, had beers with me, took me to see new things, and to the clients who employed me during those three weeks. It was a trip for the books, and you made it possible for me. Thank you!

XO
Diana
