Camping

06.08.13 - Plymouth, Wisconsin - Camping has become an essential part of my summers since I went to Boston University. In part because I feel a need to flee my urban environment and "get away from it all". Also because I'm addicted to REI and somehow I have to justify dropping my hard earned cash on titanium backpacking pots. 

The last two summers I've got up with Jonathan, Andy and Nelson (and friends) to Kettle Moraine State Park near Plymouth, Wisconsin. It's pretty, low key and given our foodie tendencies the food we make is pretty off the chain.

Best,

Will

Mixed Martial Arts in Plymouth

10.11.08 - Plymouth, Mass. - Some Mixed Martial Arts at the JunglePlex in Plymouth. Intense, very intense. I followed heavyweight Eric Foley around for the evening, moonlights as a K-9 officer in Plymouth (or is it vice versa?). The biggest challenge was the chain link fence around the octagon. Without an up position, I spent my evening trying to wedge my 28mm lens through one of the holes. Worked out pretty well.

Hillbilly Horseshoes

8.18.08 - Marshfield, Mass. - Kids from the 4-H camp in Plymouth competed in the Hillbilly Horseshoes competition at the annual Marshfield Fair. Typical country fair atmosphere, a lot of carnies, unfortunately, I didn't have the energy or the time to hang around and get some night photos. But I was happy about these, especially the third one, which is currently gracing my desktop.

Horseshoes...you get the idea.

Yes, it was at the agricultural ring, i.e. horse track.
