A few weeks ago, while home over Thanksgiving, I was able to run around with cameras and a couple of the neatest people I know. Jarrod Renaud is a Colorado-based photographer that I’ve been able to befriend over the last few months thanks mostly to Twitter and Flickr. Carrie Davis and I met last year in Portland after having become Facebook friends. She’s from North Carolina, but lives in Colorado now, which is a convenient coincidence. We met up and walked into the mountain woods and wandered around.

It was a great and easy-going way to open up the holiday season.
