Kill the Messenger

Vintage Lara is having a moment. 

I've been doing a deep archaeological excavation on myself, courtesy of my compulsion to document my life in journals, blogs and photos. I really used to put it all out there, or at least a very curated version of "it all." And in that spirit I think is why I am here writing on this old thing. 

Lately nothing makes sense. During a time when I should be settled, I am feeling unmoored. I always wanted to do life "right." (What does that even mean?) But I am struggling with who I am, who I used to be, who I wanted to be and who I would like to be. Is life just a series of realizations that everything you think you know is not true? Do we ever really know ourselves?

Maybe this is me hoping for a signal from the universe, recreating some of the magic I used to feel about the future. So here I am universe, send me a sign, hit me with a lightning bolt. 

P.S. I really miss the old internet, can we bring that back? How very aging millennial of me.

Sometimes you gotta go beyond the (maintained) pavement

The Tour of Utah climbs Guardsman's Pass during Stage 5 of the race


It seems I've neglected this blog for far too long. I'm not sure what caused my photo-taking slump, and although I hate to admit it, it happened. Recently I've been feeling inspired to go out and shoot which has reminded me how much I love it. I have a few shoots in the works so hopefully I'll be posting a little more. Anyway, this was from this past weekend when the Tour of Utah came through Park City on Saturday for Stage 5. The race ended on Main Street but I had to work so I only snuck a peek; besides, Gaurdsman's Pass is a little more epic of a backdrop than Main street (at least in my opinion). I used my wide angle for this, which has become by far my favorite piece of equipment. I love just how much it captures, and when used as a semi-close up as in this photo, the effect is quite striking.
