https://www.elevators.com/oau8q7v For the first time, I’ve had to write multiple “year in review” posts for various outlets. Hopefully they are somewhat different and interesting. The Vermont Chronicles’ review just posted a few minutes ago on Chi Wulff. (And, dear readers, despite having written two series for Chi Wulff in the past—From Russia with Love and Dispatches From Craig in 2012 and 2013, respectively—this is the first time a series has made it more than one year. I’d argue this is perhaps the least interesting of the three series, but it’s a personal record to be in one place for more than 12 months.)

2014 in Review

source by Fire Girl Jess on January 1, 2015

https://mocicc.org/agricultura/5z6skey (That’s one of my favorite quotes, and one I come back to on a daily basis. After all, what’s the point of living if you’re stagnant?)

source It’s hard to write a year in review post. How do you sum up the day-to-day advents of a year gone by, the hours that tick past at an absurd pace, ready to be seized and filled with something awesome? How do you share those incredible moments that—even as you are living them—you know you will miss (and turn over in your mind time and time again) in the years to come? And what about those days that weren’t so good, days of frustration and anger and maybe even a little bit of panic?

https://penielenv.com/0428czmeh4w A year ago today I started my drive from Austin to Vermont, relocating on a whim and the promise of something new and exciting. It was the first move of the new year—nothing new; I had relocated four times in 2013. Living on the road was familiar and comforting and exhilarating all at once. Give me a camera and a place to curl up to sleep and life is pretty damn good.

https://www.mbtn.net/?p=602wcayf4cp Three days and one tire later, I limped into Vermont on a wintery, sub-zero night. Looking back, it was perhaps a fittingly epic start to a pretty wild year.

https://alldayelectrician.com/e1bvchrkwm The theme word of 2014 seemed to be “new.” I had never been east of the Mississippi (while remaining in the States) before moving to the Northeast. For a mountain girl from Montana, it was a foreign place that I had absolutely no desire to explore. Russia seemed more welcoming and interesting—as proven in 2012. But, as they say, life is weird and here I am. New places abounded—fly-fishing on Martha’s Vineyard, trekking down to Florida twice for business, one remarkably odd breakfast in a New Jersey diner, my first fishing tournament (ever) on the Delaware River. My first awards for fishing (who has ever heard of such a thing?!) And a remarkable adventure in Belize in November, camera in hand. It was a work trip, but managed a few hours on the water and my first couple bonefish. Tarpon and permit come next—2015’s goal, perhaps. I’ve made more new acquaintances than I can count, and am honored to call some of them friends. Made a few enemies, too, but that’s to be expected.

https://www.marineetstamp.com/yv1tyj4 Fire Girl Photography has blossomed. I’ve added a host of fantastic new clients and continue to work with the vast majority of the tried-and-true editors and publishers collected over the past five years. I started this whole shenanigan in July 2009—suddenly we’re past the five year mark and it seems both like ages and only the blink of an eye.

see url I find myself hoping the theme for 2015 will be even more “new.” Maybe “unusual.” Maybe “gumption” will be the theme for the year.

Online Tramadol Colossal thanks to everyone who helps make this work. You make it all worthwhile—awesome sponsors, incredible friends, patient family, fantastic clients, and editorial teams who make things look truly awesome on a page. And you guys, who come back to this blog to read whatever drivel comes next.

Buying Tramadol From Mexico Right now, life is a run of mad, 80+ hour workweeks. Between juggling a full-time gig as Orvis’ outdoor copywriter—the voice of Orvis, as I am oft gravely reminded—and growing FGP, I’m pretty sure I dream about wording and typing and notebooks and camera bags. Last week there was that one panicked dream that my memory card was corrupted after a big shoot. (I got up in the middle of the night and checked. It wasn’t.)

watch Right now that’s my world. And I find I’m inordinately okay with that.

And, if you made it this far, here's rare proof that I do, in fact, sometimes sneak out from behind the camera. My first bonefish in November. Belize. Huge thanks to Lori-Ann Murphy for the image and being my fishing buddy for the morning.

The Photojournalist Side: Feature in Life Force Magazine

by Fire Girl Jess on December 30, 2014

Screen Shot 2014-12-30 at 9.22.23 AMIronic as it may be, considering my current career and clientele, I did not get into photography with fly-fishing in mind. The allure of stories needing to be told, of far dark corners of the world… the promise that there are still places where the maps end made me pick up a camera. The simple fact that one person’s day-to-day monotony could be another’s dream.

It’s an odd world we live in.

With this in mind, I was ecstatic to partner with the world-renowned Life Force magazine for a feature in their January 2015 issue. The photo essay, of the Gardiner, Montana rodeo, is dear to my heart and has been waiting—unpublished—for good placement. This was the right time and place.

I was shocked, when the publication came out today, to see my name listed among photojournalists who I have followed and admired for many, many years now. Pretty surreal.

Thanks to all who made this possible—from the crew at https://guelph-real-estate.ca/76nmq55 Life Force,  to the pick-up rider at the rodeo who chatted me up and then let me take his picture, to the incomparable Montana light for being so damn amazing.

2015 is off to a promising start. Peruse the full rodeo essay here.

Hope your Christmas is a day of adventure, full of fun times with family and friends. Enjoy a break from the routine, catch your breath, enjoy the day.

Maybe you’re lucky enough to be on a river or a mountain somewhere.

Always fun to work with the good guys over at American Angler. This month it was in the form of several images, and in the next issue it’ll be an article or two.  Stumbled across the latest issue while bumming around a bookstore in big ol’ Alabama.

Bit of Missouri River loving for your Christmas Eve.
