Editing is done, and it’s time to leave the temperate shores of Santa Monica for the drizzly hills of Portland.

Some parting photos:

Santa Monica Pier

Sign at the edge of the world.

Casual fishermen.

The mild rollercoaster on the pier.


A confusing and bizarre angle to nowhere in the Sheraton Santa Monica hallway.


Me using an ear candle in an attempt to unclog my ear than never un-pressurized after getting off the plane due to my prior congestion.
