Snow...

It more or less snowed all day yesterday. Today, it's a winter wonderland outside. Shoveling wasn't as bad as I anticipated, except for locating our shovel. I'm still getting accustomed to my new camera, but I love it.

So Contagious

My dad has been sick for the past two days, so this morning I brought him to the doctors. His heart rate was a little high and the doctor thought he might have had bronchitis, or even pneumonia, so he thought it would be better to send him to the ER. He is fine, except he does have the flu and he's a little weak. It's thankfully nothing to worry about.

Website

I now have a website.

Check it out.

What Remains

Despite taking lots of pictures in my home, I haven't really showed my own bedroom. Partially because it's a complete wreck, but mostly because I have actually been living between two different bedrooms at home. A few weeks ago my 'old' room was completely cleaned out and this is all that remains.

It's strange seeing it so empty.

Street Photography in an Image-Filled Age

“It’s harder and harder to take a picture without somebody in the picture who’s also taking a picture,” the Brooklyn-based photographer Gus Powell said on Tuesday evening, explaining that the mere act of taking a photo hardly makes him stand out in a crowd. “We all take pictures — that’s what we do. It’s more that your camera doesn’t look like a phone — that’s the bigger issue.”

My Room

We've finally been utilizing the extra space in my room.

Chels is still lacking a bed, so she's been crashing on my floor.

We've also set it up for studying and working out.

Even the Poos has been frequenting.

Christmas, Already?

I can hardly believe it's December.

Not a moment has been wasted around my neighborhood. Even my own house has a tree. This is the first time in about 3 years that we've had a tree, as well as a world record in terms of initiative for the holiday season on my mother's part. At least the months aren't lingering.

The Twilight Hour

The twilight hour is when all the magic happens. In terms of lighting that is. The only pictures I took of my weekend in the Gunks was to capture a some shadows. I've also been very intrigued lately with using a square format for pictures especially in terms of setting up a compositions, so I decided to test out my cropping skills, too.

Rainy Days

My thoughts are trying hard to compete with the rain outside my window.

The wind has been howling for hours and it's making me oh so lazy. I haven't the slightest impulse to leave the four walls of my bedroom and I have no problem with that fact.
