blogger is the best forum for people who like to write.
(case in point, my dear Alison who has skill with a pen, er, laptop)

instead, if you wanna see my photos and random (brief) thoughts, and fun links.
i'll use my tumblr instead.

(not that this little blog ever got much love)

and all of february 32-59

Created with flickr slideshow.

(march is forthcoming)

I have not given up! I still take a photo everyday, and have purchased a new card reader.
Editing is not something I have allotted enough time for, apparently.

After a whirlwind week in New York and substantial time spent on getting ahead in my school work-- I will have a boatload of photos on the way.

(you know, if anyone actually reads this thing) :)

A preview:

19- Debating what to do with these glasses. Oh my.


20- One Jealous Kitty


21- Cat nap in the Reading Nook (I know, two cat pictures in a row-eek. But so adorable, I couldn't help it)


22- Missing button-eye


23- Morning sewing session for Paige's Birthday gift.


24- Lauren's Birthday Cake. So much fun to make. Breakfast theme.


25- Morning caffeinated drive


26- A sweet note of encouragement.


27- Practicing with Laura's guitar.


28- Headache day. Perhaps minorly concussed(?)


29- Lady Gaga Day, in Marion Square.

Behind in posting.
Quite a packed and emotional week.
New card reader, and a few cellphone cop-outs, but photos nonetheless. :)

(crummy picture, I know. Phoning it in, tonight... literally!)
A photo from my Android phone.

Night Drive, post-Sherlock Holmes.
Guy Richie rocked it. Loved the cast, the score, and the open-ended result. Bring on a sequel... please?

1. Christmas Eve, 2. Not a fan of the snow, 3. Sunsphere, retro., 4. Christmas Eve 2, 5. snow!, 6. Sunsphere

Adios, Christmas decorations.

Amanda and her Crackberry. Hooray Scrabble.

This is what my Saturdays usually look like... Working at the Children's Museum, we host about five birthday parties each weekend, on average.

Colorful and fun, often themed, and I my job is to act like a complete goofball. (ahem, not very hard for me)

Hooray.

A most delicious way to ring in the new year- homemade black-eyed pea gumbo at Lauren and Stephen's. Turns out I left having only taken pictures of the kids. They're so adorable, though, can you blame me?

My official picture for Jan 1st is:


A couple other favorites:



(Look- they're sharing!)

Now off to work!

New Year's Resolutions are cliche, bogus, and usually defunct by March. Who really wants to set themselves up for almost certain failure? Not this girl.

Instead, I'm embarking on a personal project: documenting 2010 in photos. One photo taken everyday for one year. No rules for the photos- any subject matter will do. (thankfully, not all self portraits!) The final product may not be a work of staggering genius, but perhaps I'll sharpen my photography skills, and find some enjoyment doing something for me.

I've revamped my blog layout, as it's about to change drastically, and finally get some real use.
Here's to the new year, and the hopes that it will bring plenty of adventure, fun, success, and stability.

First photos to come.

Oh, how I've missed having live music that reminds me of everything meaningful that music can be. From enjoying a set live, to wanting to dust off my old violin- slowly bringing back the finger memory.

Tomorrow... I'm sure I'll play at least a little bit thanks to this amazing show.
This was also my first adventure in concert photo taking- I have plenty of room to grow, but enjoyed myself thoroughly (despite the fact that I still kinda feel crummy). I'm on the way to "well", and that's what matters.

And if you haven't heard St. Vincent- please let me know. I'll be happy to help. :)








Then, of course, Mister Andrew Bird.













Any other photos are on my Flickr.

I was inspired by a book my friend Katie had on her Amazon Wish List. Following the life and art of local Blacksmith, Philip Simmons. He changed the ornamentation of ironwork in this area. So to send along with her book and card- I went downtown to some spots featuring Mr. Simmons' fine work. It was fun, and slightly stressful as the sun was setting far too quickly.






(why yes- that is a gold egret and gold cross found within the iron gate- interesting)
I felt slightly creepy taking this photo, as it actually is a part of the back side of someone's every elaborate carport now. Weird.
