Talking Music

A group of my mom's college friends gathered at our house for a Christmas party. We played some music with an assortment of musical instruments! It was pretty awesome, but sadly I didn't record any of the music so I can't post it.

Accordion

Today I got an accordion from a friend, who decided that they would never play it! I'm pretty happy :D

Currently I play piano, guitar, and a little bit of drums. I'm always happy to try out a new instrument!

harmony...

The accordion sounds EPIC. It has a small keyboard on one side and harmony keys on the other. It sounds like an organ and a bagpipe :D

The Beginnings

Here's one of my first artsy photos that I took on a trip to Guatemala in the summer of 2009. It's not the best composition, but it's where I started. I began to take more and more pictures and realize that I enjoyed taking skillful pictures rather than snapshots of life.

Welcome to "Far and Wide"

Hey All,
Many of you who are reading this have probably read my blog about life as a puppy raiser, Miraculous Journey. I absolutely love sharing my feelings about puppy raising and life as a dog trainer, but I wanted to start a photo/everyday thoughts blog just for fun.

I have a lot of hobbies. My most serious hobbies are music and photography. I want to go into one of those two as a career. I also enjoy writing, drawing, painting, and making youtube videos. Then of course there are dogs, which are a huge part of my life. I won't be talking about my life as a puppy raiser much on this blog, but it will be mentioned, because I absolutely love working with service dogs.
