Go fly a kite, with an iPhone attached to its string
or My first foray into kite aerial photography

Randall Munroe's photos over Boston rekindled in me something that has long been a dream of mine: to take photos from extremely high places.
Here comes the sun, with distortion as its +1. Taken with an iPhone 4S on a 10-second interval from the Camera Awesome! app from SmugMug, wrapped by a kite string and flown over St. Malachy Catholic Church in Brownsburg, Ind.
What to bring with you on a 160-mile bike ride in July
or Hey, look, it's an infographic!

I drove the SAG vehicle yesterday for my dad and a family friend, Ron Erdely, on their yearly trek across U.S. 40 in the 160-mile Ride Across INdiana. I also helped on last year's ride (where my dad played the role of Lazarus), but as their main/only SAG driver this year, I was much more focused on making sure the riders were okay than I was on taking pictures. I did have time for some photos, though, and I do think it is high time that a photo-based infographic graced the pages of this blog.

Que siempre sea 'hasta luego'

On Friday afternoon, I heard the doorbell ring, and I knew the rest of the weekend from that point on would be awesome. At the door were Amanda and Jake, two friends from IU with whom I studied in Madrid for six months in 2010. They picked me up, I guided them through the winding forested roads of the northwest corner of Indianapolis, and we drove up I-65 and a hellishly crowded Dan Ryan Expressway to a hostel in Chicago for a long-overdue Spain reunion.
