The Pacific Crest Trail is poised to become super famous thanks to the Reese Witherspoon movie (Wild) coming out this year. Today’s photo is a little piece of the Southern Oregon portion from a few summers ago.

Roger Ross Williams – God Loves Uganda @ Ashland Independent Film Festival 2013

I’m always at least a day behind in watching The Daily Show, but thanks to my DVR, I don’t have to watch it with commercials. Last night’s show (1/13/14) featured Roger Ross Williams who was at last year’s Ashland Independent Film Festival.

I volunteered to take photos of his Q&A session with the Ashland Armory audience so it was kind of fun to see a familiar face on national TV.

BTW, the 2014 Ashland Independent Film Festival is coming up in early April.
