Mornin’ beautiful

A friend of mine shared this ad with me yesterday that cast types the dress codes of several popular agencies. Pretty funny–and accurate, if I do say so myself. Check it out.

This weekend, ten of us (interns) travelled to Estes, Colorado to explore Rocky Mountain Park. We hiked 3.6 miles (round-trip) to Gem Lake (8830ft elevation).

I had always wondered what it would be like to hike a scenic area with a dozen photo-inclined individuals. Well, it turns out to be a perpetual photo shoot–here was my contribution to the photo pool.

Here are a couple previews.

Tomorrow, I depart for Boulder, Colorado to assume my summer internship at Crispin Porter + Bogusky as an Interactive Creative. The driving distance is approximately 2,163 miles, and if I were to drive non-stop it would take approximately 33 hours. My childhood friend Nick will accompany me on the journey to ensure I don’t end up in Texas.
