I’ve Come to Realize Memories are the Best Things You’ll Ever Have
Worst Blogger Ever…
So, I’ve successfully thru hiked the Appalachian Trail. It’s absolutely crazy to be able to say that… You guys probably wouldn’t have noticed sine my last blog post was in March back in Helen, Georgia…the very first town you can go into on the trail. I was probably the absolute worst at posting blogs while on trail, I get it. I’m sorry!
Keeping it Short and Sweet
I’m posting this blog to show my 35mm film photos from the trail. I carried two cameras while on trail one was a digital FujiFilm mirror-less camera and the other was a old 35mm Nikon SLR camera. I carried the 35mm on two sections the first was from Waynesboro, VA thru Shenandoah National Park to Harper’s Ferry, WV and the last section from Lyme, NH to Katahdin. Film has always been a passion for me, I started shooting 35mm when I was a freshman in high school and ever since, I’ve been hooked. There were a total of 180 photographs shot on film. Over 800 miles. These are the cream of the crop from those 180. Enjoy!

My friend Tinker, this photo was taken just moments before he got on the bus to go home. The face of a successful 70 year old thru hiker.

You may have slacked on posting, but these photo’s were well worth the wait.
I’m going to look at these often.
OMG! Thank you for posting Tinker’s picture!! We hiked through most of VA, PA, and the last time we saw him was at the Bear Mountain Inn in NY. We were wondering if he made it.
