1 week of residency completed… ~137 weeks to go?  Pretty slow moving week with still more logistics and learning new things.  Saw my first patient here and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more.

Made the drive to Dallas, TX and settling down in the apartment while getting oriented at Baylor.  Last Thursday/Friday were fun filled days of orientation full of HIPAA training, HR, financial aid, ethics, harassment training etc.  Starting school for real tomorrow.

Perspective

Made a quick road trip to Utah/Arizona to photograph Antelope Canyon.  It’s been a long time in the works trying to find the time for both of us to go but it finally happened.  The slot caves are definitely very unique and foreigners all over the world travel here to see it.  It’s a shame it’s not more widely known in the States.

The caves itself are naturally photogenic as hell.  Each composition, every angle, and different lighting moods make every shot extremely unique.  It is definitely one of nature’s masterpieces.

More pictures to come soon… as soon as things settle down.
