give me the aerial photography


This started out as a travelogue that was mostly pictures of landscapes and my truck, or just pictures of other peoples trucks. Now, I post my own photos and blog about my life as a rambler, mapper, activist and strategic researcher. Since I mostly work with ArcMap, QGIS or other geographic information systems software in my research I post a lot of images of maps some of which are original and some from other blogs.

I am moving to Charleston, WV in June 2012.

I forgot to mention that we’re also doing assessment of earthquake hazard vulnerability in these informal settlements.  Here’s a picture of me getting ready to meet with some reaaaal experts.  I am wearing my Corndawg map of Philly belt, and my tie has a map of Manhattan on it.  I understand that this is total overkill but I just don’t care.  at all.

IMG_1468 on Flickr.This is my friend Sylvia standing at the corner of Canada and Colorado streets.  She is from Colorado, and her man is from Canada.  Right when we found out about our Capstone trip to the Philippines she found out that she was pregnant.  So, this is a picture for the “baby book.”  Sylvia, with fetus inside, standing at the corner of Canada and Colorado.

(Sealer is the name of the dog that used to accompany me in my travels around this world.  He is still alive, and living a great life with some family friends in Philly.  He is the original co-pilot of the small truck.)
