New (Used) Vehicle

Most of you know I’m leaving my job and going to the Rocky Mountain School of Photography this summer in Montana. Since I won’t have any income during the five months of classes, and possibly very little after that if I’m trying to start a photography career, I decided it was probably best to get…
