Bathroom Wake-Up Call

March 2014, Einsiedeln, Switzerland

Circle inception?

"There's a hole in the wall!" A girl cried out.

Bathrooms. Sometimes they're different, sometimes they're similar. In this case, they were very different! You see, there was a sliding door for starters, and as you walked into the small space known as the bathroom it was normal...until you looked in the shower. In the shower there was this big circular window! Now let me ask you this, how in hell can you shower where a window is at boob height and your roommate is on the other side of the window? You can't! Nope, just not possible.

Laughter was the first thing that was done, then it went to brainstorming. How could we block the window without a curtain? Paper? Clothes? In the end we used the binder that was in the room and filled in the cracks with a scarf and papers from the binder.

Sometimes the simplest things that you think are universal, aren't.

In The Clouds.

March 2014, Mount Pilatus, Switzerland.

A mound of rocks, very tall rocks also known as mountains.

High up in between the clouds, looking off into the distance and seeing nothing but more mountain peaks surrounded by clouds. It's one thing to be soaring above the clouds in a plane, but to be able to see clouds below you and above you is a whole different experience. You're just standing there, watching the birds fly around you, feeling the cold breeze hit your face and all you can think is 'I did it, I managed to do this, I'm here.'

The birds flying around, being free really made me think of where I was and how I got there. I did everything I could to get to the top, I worked my butt off making sure I was able to go on the trip, after all it felt like a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Closed eyes, breathing in the cool air, relaxed.

A Simple Bicycle

March 2014, Lucern, Switzerland

Bicycles. Bikes. A way of transportation.

Everywhere I looked there was a bike, parked or in motion. The ones in motion usually had a person motioning for you to get out of the way, and you would just barely step out of the way. Saved from another bike-person collision, win.

Purple, pink, grey, blue, it doesn't matter the colour of the bike because the only thing that mattered is if it got you from point A to point B, and they usually do.
