Hauling all my stuff across the continent



Hello! I'm in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. We are waiting out some storms here and going to Brantford, Ontario early tomorrow morning.




These are some photos from a Holga roll I shot in Nova Scotia (except the first one which is in Portland). Half the roll came out like crap and half I really liked. The mastodons are from Mastodon Ridge, which is halfway between the north pole and the equator, and we played mini golf there.




Right now my dad and I are staying in a slightly sketchy Ramada. When we first got here and went to our room, there was someone's stuff still lying around in it. So we tried to go back down to the lobby, but the elevator was broken and this latino lady kept saying all the stairs led to nowhere. So we eventually made it down through the parking garage elevator, and they assigned us to a new room with a little microwave in it.




We went for dinner at restaurant/bar close by and the food was really good. We sat next to a huge window so we had a good view of the lightning storm that started up. There was a lot of lightning, it was really cool. At one point all the streetlights went out and it took a few minutes for them to power back on again. We thought we were going to have to walk back in the torrential rain but luckily it stopped raining right before we left.




So, I move in in four days and classes start a week later. I hope my room is alright. At least it will for sure be better than last year. That's all! Tomorrow we will travel to Canada early in the morning.
