Had a lot of down time and some amazing weather, so spent one day kayaking on Lake Brandt. Click the image below to view a higher resolution.

We divided our time over two weeks in Cartagena, Ciudad Perdida, Santa Marta, and Tayrona National Park. I cannot more highly recommend the Ciudad Perdida trek (we went with Magic Tours)… despite that fact that both my brother and sister most likely had dengue fever. Overall, could not be more pleased with such a diverse and friendly country!

Since my new homepage only features a small selection of my web and graphic design work (along with some projects from architecture school), I’ll hopefully be able to focus some time this spring on a slight continued redesign of my remaining portfolio work in its current location for potential freelance clients interested in seeing my full range of work.

My new homepage is created using lots of custom JavaScript to attain the parallax effect, layers moving at different speeds to give the illusion of depth. Some jQuery plugins I am also using are QueryLoader v2 as a preloader, jQuery Cycle Plugin for a simple fade slideshow, and Slides as an additional slideshow plugin for my physical architecture models.

Sounds too good to be true as the fabric, called QMilch, feels like silk, washes normally, water-efficient to produce, and hypoallergenic.
