Atlanta, GA | Hybrid Angle Photography | Sarasota, FL

Like I mentioned in the last post I’ve been pretty busy this summer so photos like these have been pushed to the side to take on other projects. However, I’ve always been a firm believer in the phrase “better late than never” so here goes.

College road trips were something I never had the opportunity to do while I was in school. Between classes and the few jobs I held down around campus, finding the time to jump into a car with a roommate or two just never happened — until now. My good friend, former roommate and college buddy Allston called me up with a simple proposition: A road trip to St. Louis, Missouri with good food, drinks and music as the only pursuits.

How could I say no?

I’ve never really understood why people rant and rave about how great the New England region is until last weekend — Simply put, it rocks.

I was invited to spend the weekend in Portland with some amazing people and in only a few short days I was really digging the atmosphere. People were friendly, summer weather was spectacular, lobster was incredible and the sights were breathtaking. Did I mention the lobster was incredible? I spent my weekend with my gracious hosts Mark, Aimee, their two incredible daughters and Nana “poopie” who took the time to show me what Maine was all about.

Special thanks again to my wonderful hosts I hope that my next visit is sooner than later! Slideshow after the break!

On my last trip back home I took some time to check out the local music scene and was pleasantly surprised. One particular band by the name of Cheeky Monkey caught my attention with their great personalities and ability to jam (which is always appreciated). If you’re in the Port Charlotte area be sure to check them out, they might even let you join the show!

Special thanks to these guys for allowing me to photograph them!
