After graduating college in 2001, I moved to Washington state where I lived in Seattle for the summer, being unemployed and backpacking and exploring the great Cascade range as often as I could. During the winter I lived up near Stevens Pass where I worked at the ski resort and had the best winter of snowboarding in my life!

This was a period of time when I was just beginning to get more into photography. These photos were taken with an early generation 2mp digital camera; unfortunately the low resolution and poor quality makes most of these photos unsuitable for printing, but they still bring back fond memories of this time for me.
