More train-ing and other news

I spent some more time on The Sounder today with a new, smaller camera Joe borrowed from work. The Canon G10 is a rough and tumble point-and-shoot camera that reminds me of my dad's old Rollie film camera. He used to take that thing everywhere - it was an amazing "toy."

The sun came out in time for the M's home opener - and of course, my ride home from work.

I recently found out that I was the recipient of the EPA's NNEMS Fellowship and will be going to work for them (in Seattle) starting in June. It is weird how opportunities come lumped together - especially when it seemed it had been such a long time between them. I'm excited about the future and must remind myself that I'm living a surreal dream. They are going to have me working on multimedia and shooting photos for their website. Something tells me I'm going to like that.

Tracks that equal progress

I haven't posted in a while because I got a job where I'm not working as much with a camera. This isn't a bad thing since I'm actually getting paid a decent wage to gather content for a quarterly newsletter at King County's Solid Waste Division. I shoot images for it too. So in many ways, this new job is developing skills in me that I can hopefully use to secure a job after I graduate.

One of the best perks of this job is the Flexpass I get to ride anywhere Pierce, King or Sound Transit operates. This benefit combined with the fact that I don't own a car has proven to be invaluable as I daily ride the train to and from work. (this equals a $10 per day savings)

I was feeling artsy on my home tonight and made some images from my seat on the train.

Enjoy!
