Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted anything to my blog, but this should be a good way to break the drought; for those who don’t already know, I spent January and February this year travelling through the U.S. and Canada – what a trip it was! My mate Brendan and I covered 10,000+ km by car, snowboarded 10 different ski resorts and saw so much awesome stuff…
So here is the first part of my collection of favourite photos; If my photos can capture just 1/100th of what it was like to actually be there I feel like they’ve done their job; enjoy!
