I tend to disappear for longer durations now, don’t I? Mostly because life has gotten incredibly busy lately, and a variety of other factors playing in.

However, here’s the low down: I’m traveling to Nepal in less than 2 weeks, to photograph a Tibetan refugee camp. To say that I’m excited is an understatement. I should probably also mention that I’m even more nervous than I am excited. We are trying to make our way to Mt. Everest’s base camp as well. To think that just a year out of college and Everest is actually within one of the things I’m considering, is well.. pretty out of the world for this little girl.

Even more exciting is I’m traveling with a decent sized-kit this trip. In the past, I’ve always made do with my F80 and little 28-80mm lens, but I’ve invested in a brand new flash (after months of agony and oggling), and a friends has been incredibly generous and lent me a D100 and a sweet sweet lens. If you don’t speak photoGeek, it’s a good-sized kit for just about anyone. Lots of versatility to be had. Particularly if you’re a bit nutty such as myself.

I am also traveling to Brazil in May. Long story, but we just decided last night. Again, I am ridiculously thrilled at the opportunity. We’re expecting something along the lines of Costa Rica last year – lots of adventure, climbing, and off the beaten track. I.Can’t.WAIT.

But most importantly, I’ve made an investment and finally bought a domain. This isn’t going to be a reprise of previous writings etc. But it’s going to be photography oriented, with one section as a showcase/portfolio of my projects, and a photoblog. Now that i’m working full time, free time is such a treasured resource – stretched over far too many commitments.

So. if any one’s interested in checking the new place out, leave a message/email. I’m keeping it to a select few for now because it’s still under wraps.
