Hiking On MV

While working for the MVLBC i was able to spend much of my time hiking and mountain biking on various trails, and i found my way to some of the lesser knows spots on the island.



the MVLBC also had properties that were on the beach, and it was my job to pick up the trash and welcome visitors, and will the wealth of free time that i had, i was able to read and work on my photography.

"this could be the beginning of something great"


so i spent the last summer on Martha's Vineyard, and i know all the islanders are going to jump to the conclusions that i am a rich prissy brat, but i was glad to have the opportunity to work for the summer. The Martha's Vineyard Land Bank Commission hired me to work for the summer, as a properties attendee, and provided housing, and with that i was able to have the best summer of my life

At twenty, i only have a few more guilt and responsibility free summers left, so i had to take one while i still could. i was allowed an experience that i would not exchange for the world, working with new people, and making great friends. you know its a good summer, when you can show to work late with a hangover, spend all your time reading and working on your photography, and then go out drinking that night.

i have decided to compose this blog to showcase some of my finer photography, and im sure there will be quite a few from the island, so i figured i would start off with the back story. i have always been interested in photography, and after purchasing a Nikon D40 as a birthday present for myself, and have been avid in my crazed need to visually document.

alas, i am off to class, but i will post later other pictures from the island and things.

peace love faith.
