Pretty (Ugly Before)

In the "Winter" I am unemployed and everything is ugly.





In the Summer I work with plants and everything is pretty.

Maine, Cont'd

If any of you ever wondered what I have been doing up in Maine for the past two Summers... well, this is it! Summer 2010 I worked as a cabin counselor/newspaper instructor at Camp Manitou in Oakland, ME. Manitou is a sleep-away camp for boys ages 8-16. Needless to say, I had a BLAST and a half. Manitou also runs a non-profit called the Manitou Experience, which is essentially the same idea, except it's only a week long, and it's strictly for boys who have suffered the loss of a loved one- they are sent to this camp FOR FREE! I volunteered for the Experience in 2010 as a counselor/photographer, making my stay up in Maine about three months altogether, and returned for the week-long camp to do some more counseling and photography in 2011. I was also able to travel to Portland and Boston while up North, and I decided to include a few shots from Portland, which I've marked as such. Anyway... enjoy! More adventures to come VERY SOON.
