It Could Bring Joy; It Could Bring Sorrow

I have decided to move this beyond a photoblog. From this point forward, this will be an everything blog. Tonight, I will start with a song.

Stars – A Thread Cut With A Carving Knife

The perfect song to listen to while the first real snow of the season is falling. I can’t get enough of it.

New York City is a cold, cold place. An eight-year-old walked off with my lens cap after someone knocked it off my camera and into the cross-walk. He picked it up, slipped it into his pocket, and disappeared into the crowd. Punk.

I think I’m okay with Times Square for now. Brooklyn was far more relaxing.

Something Needs to Change

It’s that time of year again when I reflect upon the pictures I’ve taken recently and how I ate almost Every Single One of them. I don’t shoot enough. I don’t shoot like I want to shoot. But, I have come to conclude that this is no fault of my own. Well, sort of. I don’t have time to go shoot like I want to! During the week, my time is spent running from class to lab to the library. When I’m home, I am either doing homework or trying to finish a knitting project that I promised my mother I would finish before Christmas. On the weekends, Jesse comes to visit and we’re both so exhausted from our weeks that we spend most of the day laying in bed watching Rocky marathons or something similar. At night, we meet up with friends and, seriously? I am bored with taking pictures of our friends. None of them want to be photographed anyway.

I’m tagging along to Brooklyn with Asleep in a Box, which I am super excited about because I’ve never been to The City! I intend to bring both my digital and my film cameras (or Jesse’s if he’ll let me… I want to use something older)… maybe even my Holga if I have enough room in my bag. Maybe I’ll have some good shots to upload if I am diligent about it!

Until then, enjoy this shot of our Black and White party. The pictures I took were lame… I was more focused on enjoying myself at the party. I like this shot though.

So Cool

As I was taking this picture, some guy yelled out how cool Jesse must be to have me taking his picture.

He is cool. Can’t you tell?

Oh Say Can You See…

…through all of the shit being slung throughout this election? I paid close attention during the conventions, but now there is so much trival controversy surrounding the candidates that it’s hard to stay diligent. America the… tabloid obsessed. I read about the Sarah Palin Controversy in US Weekly today. The same magazine that detailed Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer’s breakup in all its gory details. Yeah!

I think I am going to spend the next two months ignoring the election, watching really bad television (has anyone seen the new 90210? I never saw the orginal, but this new one is so bad it’s good), and curling up in bed with my ninja-wannabe kitten (who just fell asleep after running frantically around my room for 20 minutes… aww!).

I also need to take new pictures. I’m sick of these DC ones.
