This past Saturday I spent the day with new friends on an adventure to the snow. I met Tavio through a friend a couple years ago, but we mostly built our interaction and friendship through Instagram. He's a local photographer with great work and a thing for spontaneity. He put together this excursion and through it I met Alex and JD, both awesome human beings. Oh, and Alex brought along her mini husky she was dog sitting, Reggae, along for the ride.

I've been so blown away by my experience on Instagram. I resisted it for so long because I thought it would be a similar experience for me as Facebook was-bringing up feelings of jealousy and inadequacy looking at what everyone else is doing. But in reality, I've discovered so many creative people that inspire me. I've made connections with several photographers and local artists. I've been able to use the platform to challenge myself, both in my photography and in socializing.

Also, I want to move in to this cozy cabin and sit by the fire all day watching the snow fall with a warm cup of coffee. Please and thank you. Outside of the pics of Alex and JD, none of these photos were edited because Mother Nature is goddamn gorgeous all herself.
