Hello Fellow Steemians!
I am quite excited to join you all here on Steem, and especially to be sharing my art, experiences, and adventures. Think part travel blog, part photography channel, part quixotic adventures through the mundane and mysterious. Here's a picture of the aspens turning color in Colorado... for no apparent or relevant reason other than I was inspired to break up this introduction with a very yellow image. Yellow!
A little more about me. I have a BA and MA in English with focuses on Philosophy, Literature, and Film. I worked as a Professional Writing Consultant and Instructor at the university level teaching Composition and Rhetoric and Introduction to Film. After a short stint in academia, I was compelled to explore the world and hit the road with an 80L backpack, best friend, and a bunch of preconceived notions. My computer and camera kept him afloat for the better part of 3 years while he journeyed, journaled, took pictures, designed websites, and learned what the world was really about. The ocean was my first true love, and I will be sharing many more photos of the water and things that dwell there, both human and otherwise. Many more photos to come. Carry on until next time!
Hi @themindofmark! :) Welcome... even though you've been here awhile by now... Love your two pics here, and envious of both - no autumn here, lol... Just hot and rain, and definitely not having surfed before - I'm green with envy! Look forward to your posts... :))
Hi @ackhoo! Thanks, I appreciate it :) I am jealous that you are in Bali! We are actually thinking about adventuring there soon! Also looking forward to your future posts!
Haha... Was in Bali... about 3 months ago! Am home in Malaysia now... But still have lots of great memories and photos from there... Would definitely want to go back soon!! :)
Hey I was nominated for the B&W photo challenge and nominated you... if you haven't already done it you should partake! Cheers! Hope that all is well on your end.
Welcome to Steemit! Hope you enjoy it here! You can find anything you desire here! Love the surfing pic!
Thank you! Very much appreciated. Cool. Was taken in Mexico - had a GoPro mounted on the end of my surf board. Fun stuff - will post more in the future. Thanks for the comment and vote.

Thank you @themindofmark See you soon ;)
Good intro @themindofmark . The aspens pic was cool, but the surfing one is better! You'll find each day has a color challenge for photos. I think yellow is Thursdays.
